hi! i was just reading your post from earlier today about how your LO may be breech.  our LO is still breech, and my dr talked to us about the option of an external version at our last appointment.  i was thinking about it, even though my boss told me it was more painful than labor, until my dr told me that sometimes babies are breech for a certain reason, like a short cord or something.  then it can get risky if they try to force the baby to flip when there are cord issues.  she told me that she had given one lady a csection who had almost gotten a version but decided not to, and the LO's cord was twisted and if they had done the version the LO could easily have died.  i decided against it because of this, i would rather have a csection than perhaps risk LO's life.   but there are of course stories of women who have had successful versions and the LO turned out fine and the vaginal birth went fine! sorry this is so long, i just thought i'd share what my dr told me! good luck, and i hope Makayla turns!!!!

Yikes! Yea I'm really not a fan of the idea at all. Some of the post I got from my post of ladies saying that it was terrible and one lady even needed an epi for it....scares the crap out of me. ACM suggested using heat and cold to try and flip her by putting heat on the lower part of my belly and ice on the top to try and move her.

 I totally agree with you also saying that M is where she is because that's where she wants to be and who am I to tell her to go the other way.

Thanks for the info! I will take all the info I can get.
