My Baby's Breech. What are the Chances of Him Turning?
MY STORY PART 2
Don't get me wrong, it is major surgery and not to be taken lightly but, if it turned out that you had to have one, it is not a horrible and awful way to deliver. I have had 3 natural and 2 C-Sections. I was going to VBAC the last baby but I developed severe pre-eclampsia and delivered 6 weeks early another breech baby by C-Section. I opted for the surgery over version and I think I made the right choice. Everything went very smoothly both times!
Good luck with your delivery and trust your doctor.
And one final thought! In the end, however you do deliver, the precious bundle of love and joy you receive makes all of it worthwhile.

MY STORY PART 1
Hi - I had an emergency C-Section with my 4th child because he was breech, and he turned during labor! In the office for a check during early labor that day I was told I was to walk and have 3 good contractions and return. At that time, on ultra-sound, the baby was head down and ready to go. At the mall, I felt like the baby had turned but my hubby thought I was being silly or paranoid so I never said a word to the doc. Come time for the internal fetal moniter, at 6 cm, I was told he was breech and away I went...
I say all of this to say that C-Sections are given a bad rap these days and it wasn't what I had worried it would be.

I'd also recommend trying other methods before a version. A chiropractic treatment called the Webster technique can be effective, as can inversion exercises at home.
