update on ECV /version

hsal · April 2014

I'm currently strapped to a monitor because baby's heart rate is elevated (between 170-180) after attempting a version. Even thought the doctor thought I'd be a perfect candidate, it was unsuccessful.

wah.

looks like I'll be moving to the section camp now.

I'm sorry it didn't work. Hope baby's HR settles down.

I'm sorry it didn't work out and I hope LO settles down for you soon and you can head home and get some rest.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I just had to decide between ECV and just scheduling the c-section and I decided to go straight to the c-section, for a variety of reasons. They say it's less likely that she will turn on her own at this point but it's still possible, so maybe for you too!

Sorry to hear it didn't work! Good luck with everything, I hope baby's heart rate calms down.

I hope she's able to relax soon...sorry about the version

Sorry it didn't work. It was worth a shot though. Hopefully the little one calms down. Just remember you don't always have to have a c/s just because you had one- if you'd like to try a vbac down the line and are a good candidate go for it!

I am really sorry. Hopefully everything will go smoothly!

Thanks everyone! I'm home now, resting, just bummed. Looks like a c-section will happen next Friday!

My breech baby flipped after doing inversion exercises, swimming, sitting on an exercise ball, using a moxi stick, and chiropractic Webster technique. I posted about it in an earlier thread. It was worth it to me to try.

This. However, I still went to my ECV appointment just to see what the drs opinion was. Turns out my bub was not going to budge anyway so dr said there was not much point in going ahead. I didn't want to go ahead anyway so I was ok with the outcome. I understand your disappointment at not getting the birth you wanted or dreamed of. However, what has helped me get over it is truely believing that my LO is up that way for a reason and it is her way of telling me she can come out safely with a c section. My section is booked for 7 May and now I'm just focusing on the excitement of getting to finally meet my little girl. Good luck and I hope your LO's heart rate calms down and you have a safe delivery

Sorry it did not work out for you. I hope all goes well though, and there is always a chance he/she could still make the flip!

Mine didn't work either. They were successful in moving his head from under my right rib to under my left, but he was unwilling to move any further down. As a matter of fact, he is right back in his hidey hole on the right side. I am also now in the csection camp.
