ECV success??

idalski2325 · January 10

I’m 37 weeks, and after a growth ultrasound yesterday, found that baby is breech. I was encouraged to perform spinning babies exercises this weekend, and if babe still isn’t flipped by next week, they’ll try a ECV. I have an anterior placenta, and am nervous of the risks to baby and placenta doing this procedure this late (side note, baby is BIG—-almost 8 lbs already). I am on the fence of trying the procedure, or avoiding risks and just scheduling a c section. This is my second pregnancy. First was vaginal, so I wanted to avoid a C-section, but I just don’t know if it’s worth the risk. Any thoughts or experiences are helpful!!

Im going to my 36 week appt this week to see if baby is still breech. I've been doing spinning babies exercises multiple times a day for the last week. I'm pretty sure she hasn't budged. Currently lying here doing the miles circuit. I also go to a webster certified chiro every week. I'm trying everything to avoid a c-section.

Just remember, growth scans are rarely accurate. Your baby may not be as big as they say (I know from experience) and even so, your body was made to birth your baby.

Thanks!!! Good luck that your baby is flipped! Mine was not, C-section scheduled Jan 29. Hopefully they flip by then! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
