Breech baby 35 +2

P
Just went to the dr and baby is breech . 
Dr wants to possibly schedule a manual version - but I have heard those can be quite traumatic for baby. Or wants to schedule a c section at around 39 weeks.
I really had my heart planned on a natural child birth with no  pain medication . I am desperate to try and turn this little man!
A few questions
Has anyone had a manual version done by a dr and was it successful ? 
Has anyone successfully flipped a baby using spinning babies methods and other methods - if so what worked?
