Solutions for Breech Babe? Experience with ECV?

Question

At the ultrasound today, we were told that babe is in Breech (currently 35 + 3). She’s sitting with head under my right ribs, one leg kicking right in my lower abdomen and the other leg kind of dangling in my pelvic areas. 
 I’ve done some quick googling for ways to flip babe because we reallllly want to avoid a C section. 
One thing I read about online was the external cephalic version (ECV). Does anyone have any experience with an ECV? I’m honestly willing to try anything. I’ll discuss the possibility with my OB on Thursday but I would love to know what worked for other people!

Answer

Sounds just like my girl! My OB didn't feel comfortable trying to manually rotate her. I didn't have enough room for her to flip on her own. I was referred to a chiropractic clinic who uses the 'Webster Technique' and other yoga-ish stretches at home. Ultimately she never flipped so I had a planned c-section at 39 weeks. It really was wayyy easier than I had anticipated and plan to have another one with baby #2. Good luck in doing what's best for you!

Answer

Mine worked but then she flipped back. But she was my second child so I opted for repeat c section instead

Answer

Yep. I had an unsuccessful procedure qt 37 weeks. I was given a 75% successrate because my baby was small and there was more than enough fluid. It was easily the worst experience of my life and i ended up needing a scheduled csection anyway.

Answer

They offered ECV to me but I refused. Do your research on it. For me, the risks were not worth it. My OB would only do ECV at the hospital because the risk of sending baby into distress is so high that a c section might be necessary anyway. My baby ended up flipping at 39 weeks. I still had a c section for other reasons.
