UPDATE: Breech baby and ECV

Hey ladies, so I found out my baby is breech (my first one was not, but this one is!) and I am going to try a exteranl cephalic version tomorrow. Was wondering if any of you had a successful result. Especially if it is your second? The success rate goes up if it is your second child. Thanks for any input.

Update: The version worked and it wasn't that bad at all! So now all this baby has to do is stay in the right place for two and half weeks :-) Thanks for the info ladies

    My baby was breech for a couple weeks and I would also very highly recommend www.spinningbabies.com. The exercises, while uncomfortable, are super helpful.  I also did moxibustion and that helped too. 

    Good luck!

    Fantastic! I know how scary it can be so I'm glad the procedure worked :).

    I hate to scare you but I did it my last pregnancy and it was the worst experience.
    The chances of it not working is very high! I was determined. I did moxiebustin and spinning babies and nothing worked.
    After I had procedure I gushed blood and had to be evaluated for 4 more hours. It was fine but I wound up delivering 4 days later by c section.
    Turns out baby was being hung by her cord. It was even difficult to get her out of me.
    With this baby he is breech but still early. I pray to god he flips so I can vbac but if not I will never do a EV again. There's a reason why they are stuck there.
    If you want details I'll fill u in on procedure. Pm me
