Aversion or C-Section?

Question

Our little girl has been breech since 16 weeks. I’m 32 weeks today and have a follow up ultrasound on 8/9; I’ll be 38 weeks by then. I also saw my OB today and she told us about aversion. The OB said the baby has until 37 weeks to flip and most likely will but, if she doesn’t, we can go for an aversion or schedule a C-section. If I go into labor prior to 39 weeks and she’s still breech, I get a C-Section. Birth is birth, so I’m not looking for opinions for what is “better”. Anyone been in this predicament?

Answer

I work as a labor nurse and unfortunately I rarely see versions work.  I also find them to be a little risky. it's a lot of manipulation for you and the baby. I hear it's really uncomfortable too so some people get epidurals placed before hand.

Answer

Tried and ecv with my daughter. Was painful and didn’t work so ended up with a C-section anyway. 
I wouldn’t try an ecv again

Answer

I had this issue with my son. I opted for the c section. I just felt like the possible risks of them trying to manually turn baby and it still possibly resulting in a c section didn’t seem worth it.

Answer

I’m having the debate on which I would want too. Hoping baby flips on his own. I really would prefer a vaginal birth so was really considering the ECV. But after talking with some other mamas, and the fact it only has a 50%success rate. I’m going to go for a c section, that way baby can stay in a little long too.

Answer

I found out at my 32 week growth scan baby is breech and as soon as they told me I realized she’s been like that for a long time based on the kicks I felt etc. I’ve tried different positions to get her to flip but last night I decided to just leave her be from now on. I’m not sure why I suddenly feel this way, maybe just instinct kicking in but I feel like there’s a reason she’s breech and I don’t want to force anything... I’m terrified of a c-section but feel like that’s what’s going to happen, she’s pretty comfy with her head under my ribs.

Answer

Baby was head down entire pregnancy even last Friday he was head down than Tuesday he was breech I knew that's what happened Monday night I was in so much pain and felt a horrible huge movement and dr says I have a 1 in 3 chance he will flip by 37w so if he is still breech Tuesday at 35w I'm scheduling my c section no matter how terrified I am of surgery and I refused a version BCZ they hurt real bad and I'm leaving this up to baby boy

Answer

My babe was breech from like 26 weeks to 34 weeks. At 32 weeks, I started trying the spinning babies positions and at 34 weeks, I started seeing a chiropractor for the Webster technique. My doctor thinks baby has flipped. You could try some of those options....an external version sounded risky to me personally, so I wanted to try everything possible to get her to flip on her own.

Answer

My babe just flipped and I’m 34 wks now. 
I know you don’t want opinions, but I’d trust that if baby is still breech by 38 wks that that is what is meant and best for baby and not try ‘force’ it with aversion.
