Breeched baby and turning

Found out at scan on wednesday that baby is head up bum down (35weeks) midwife today has booked me in to get baby turned - ECV - question is :
whose had this done and did it work? Whats invovled, is it sore or just uncomfortable and did you take anyone with you. Hubby has offered to go with me but unsure if he needs to be there or not?

Ann my first baby was breech at 38 weeks, My midwife hired me this rocking chair that you kind of learn foward over and I only used it for a few days and she turned all by herself, I had her two days later after a 6 hr labour.
My midewife also said to try kneeling on the ground a little, supposedly with the way we all laze around in armcharis etc it can affect the babies position so sitting upright on a staright backed chair or the leaning forward on the rocker can reposition the baby. It's just a suggestion and I'm not sure it will work for everybody but it did for me. So it maybe worth a try.

< language=> i have no idea about the specialist but my friend who has exactly the same challenge as you do was told by her midwife to hold a tourch at the bottom of your abdomen. Baby can see the glow & will become curious & will turn to see what it is. Apprently it works a charm.

Good luck with it all.

good to hear one that has worked as so many say it didn't. Hubby is coming got the day off which is tuesday.

well they tried to turn but couldn.\'t, baby was firmly bum in pelvis head in ribs. So I am off to have a ceaser in 3 weeks time. Dr did say could turn between now and then but doesn't hold my hope as is pretty firm in there and hasn't got alot of room to move due to size of baby and lack of fluid. I have resided to the fact that I could end up having a ceaser and looking at the 'bright side' at least I can plan the day organise the kids, not have to go thru early labour and contractions, and I don't play the waiting game as I will know when baby will be born.
Thanks for all the adivse, It wasn't too painful, I think the pain was more caused by my crohns than anything else. The Dr was really nice and kept asking if I was okay. Got to see my bubs on the scan again. I am thinking they will scan me once more before D Day just to see what position baby is in abd if it had turned on its own.

I saw the chiro and did my own stuff and she turned

good on you for being so positive about it all.

my baby was transverse (lying sideways) and they turned him twice cause the first time he turned himself back.   he's a stubborn little bugger, even before he was born.

My other two children are 8years and 13 years so they will be alot of help. On the day my friend has offered to get the kids from school and look after mthem until hubby (or my parents) can get them.
Got to be positive cause the end result is I get to hold my baby in my arms. I just look at the 'brighter' side of it. The only thing that will bug me the most is not being able to drive as i HATE relying on people or asking people for help. Hubby is hopeing to be off for two weeks after baby born so that will be good.
