Hi friends, today's the day!!!! We finally get to meet Noah and Luke and I could not be happier. I can't wait to share our birth vlog and birth experience in future videos, but until then, here's a video sharing my experience getting the ECV in order to try to turn Noah from a breech/transverse position into a vertex position.
Much love,
Meredith

Your video has helped me make the decision to skip ECV. I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant and my baby is transverse, I'm currently trying spinning babies exercises without much success, and while there's still time for my baby to turn if she were still transverse by 36 weeks I'd rather go directly for a planned c-section. There are babies who move a lot and have lots of room, but my baby has always been in transverse position for as long as I could feel her, so perhaps there's a reason for it (short umbilical cord, uterus shape,...) and I'd rather not risk injuring her or ending up delivering her before 39 weeks.
I just got my ECV today and was soo nervous from watching videos last night of horror stories! I was soo lucky!! It turned first time and I breathed through the whole thing. I just tried to zone out and it worked. So worth it for me! ☺️
So glad your experience was an easy one!
Just a little tip for some people, there are definitely doctors that will deliver a breech baby! Transverse is more difficult. But my doctor delivers roughly 20 breech babies a year. 200 total. And 80 vbacs on average! (Vaginal birth after cesarean) my baby girl is breech, I’m 32 weeks and I will be attempting a vbac in September 💖
I’m so happy you are able to find a doctor who was willing to deliver your breach baby! I checked 3 hospitals and sadly that was not an option for me. Otherwise I definitely would have!
As moms we guard our belly as much as we can! You get an A for effort! Can’t wait to see sweet Noah!!
You are so brave to go through this! I worked in L&D/ Postpartum unit for 12 years and every-time we would have a version scheduled it was a tense day as the procedure could end in an emergent c-section. Smaller babies are easier to turn. I’m so glad you are both ok!
Thank you ❤️
@Emma Hawke hi I am going to have mine in a week, did they gave you epidural ? My doctor recommended that. I am really worried about that i never had epidural in my previous pregnancy. I delivered my other baby's Natural.
How did yours go l might go through it if my baby don’t turn in a week ?
I am having an ECV Tuesday. I'm nervous but hopeful
Appreciate the first hand account. Wife has an ECV scheduled next week and this helps demystify the process.
I’m glad it was helpful! I hope it goes as best as possible for her.
How did it go ?
@@ladyreeashie5151 My lady said it was pretty uncomfortable. She wasn’t crying or anything but still painful. It went smoothly for the most part.
As for delivery, my wife ended up doing a C-section anyway because the umbilical cord was wrapped around our son’s neck. Not sure if it had to do with turning him in the womb.
Aww mama.... the ECVs are usually more successful in smaller babies when there is more space. I try to schedule patients exactly at 37 weeks. And I strongly encourage epidural use. I did one without an epidural today (in an excellent candidate) due to extenuating circumstances but that is not the norm in my practice. Some babies are super comfy and don't want to budge.
That’s so good to hear there are doctors like you who schedule them earlier and use epidurals. On behalf of other mamas and me, thank you, truly!! It would have been so nice to have a higher chance of avoiding a c-section had I been able to try turning my baby earlier.
Thanks for explaining everything ❤️My daughter will have this procedure done tomorrow.
I hope it went well!
Good sharing! I may need this if he doesn't turn in the next couple weeks. Good to know the experience.
ECV is the safest option between C-section and normal cephalic delivery
I am so lucky. I just had a ecv for the firat time with my 5th baby today. I did not get pain medicine but i did have a transverse baby and he flipped very quick like one push with no pain and that scared the doctor because she said he might have so much room that he will flip again. Still waiting now at 38 weeks to see if he will stay head down. He is actually large for his gestation so i guess i have a large uterus lmao
Yay!! I’m genuinely so happy for you!
Getting one this week at 37 weeks I am terrified! My baby girl is 5 pounds 5 oz but my belly is super small so I’m scared she doesn’t have enough room to flip she is frank breech.
Praying it goes well and is successful!
How did it go?
I'm going for mine Tuesday 20th February 2024, will be 36 weeks and 2 days.
I hope my baby 👶 girl 💝💝💝 turns, but it will be what it will be.
If i have to do an epidural i am not doing it, I'll just do a scheduled c-section.
Thank-you 🤩 for sharing this video, it is helpful to hear of everyone's experiences.
Congratulations!! 🩷 and you’re welcome I’m so glad it was helpful! 😊
@@RaisingLittleLights THANK-YOU 💝💝💝
Yes... seeing your experience and that of others has helped in what to kinda expect. I know all experiences are different. It's just nice to see.
BLESSINGS 💥🌈💥💥 to you and your family, I hope you are all healthy and well 🎶💝🎶
My baby has been breech since around 30 weeks and I’m 37+1 today. I have an ECV scheduled next week on Friday at 38+2.
I’m doing acupuncture, chiro, moxibustion and spinning babies so I’m really hoping to flip before then. But I also have gestational diabetes and baby is measuring really big so I’m prepared that it might not work.
🤞🏼
Did your baby turn ?
@@jesssro87 nope. ECV didn’t work and I was scheduled for a section Dec 1 at 830am but my water broke at 430pm the night before! We went in, confirmed he was still breech and had a son at 10:05pm!
I’m getting an ECV tomorrow and my doctor luckily gives the option of an epidural, so I’m hoping it works. I’ll also only be 37w2d.
Any news?? I hope it worked for you!
Hello,
I’m not sure if I heard right, did doctors give you fentanyl against the pain?
Yes they did
Thank you for sharing this! I'm 37 weeks but will be 38 weeks when we do the ECV as my baby is still breech :(
Hoping it went well and was successful!
39 weeks and 3 days and I'm having this done tomorrow. So nervous and unfortunately with covid restrictions at my hospital they will not allow my husband to accompany me which honestly is making the situation worse. But I already have my induction and c-section scheduled for right after depending on the results.
I hope all went well and you are with your sweet baby! 💛
@Van It wasn't successful and very uncomfortable. I wasn't given any pain medication like I've heard some get. I ended up having a c-section. This was my 3rd birth but 1st c-section. I had a lot of abdominal pain in my recovery, and while I don't know for sure, I attribute alot of that to having the EVC right before my c-section. Baby girl is now a happy healthy 1 year old, and my biggest baby yet so I'm glad it all worked out the way it was meant to. In the end I wouldn't have done it differently, I still would have tried to turn her even if there was a slight chance of getting to have a vaginal delivery.
For me they had two fails and third one was successful. It was uncomfortable but not traumatizing
I’m glad your experience wasn’t a bad one!
Hi, did they gave you epidural before the procedure? My doctor recommended that and not sure what to decide yet.
@@Joseph-788 I did not have an epidural, just morphine
Same exact situation here! 1000%
I would like to write that my ECV was successful and it is worth trying in my opinion.
Random question.. what lipstick color is that?! So pretty.
Thank you!! I believe it’s the elf day to night duo lipstick and I’m wearing the night color 🙃
@@RaisingLittleLights thank you!
I’m so worried about my baby being in breech, I am 32 weeks pregnant. I know i still have “some” time for her to move but it’s scary.
Hello.. Did u go for ur next scan?Is there any change in ur baby's position ? Iam 37 weeks pregnant and my baby is a breech one
Same. I’m 30 weeks and I know I have time but I really really don’t want a c-section. But what she said in the video isn’t really true, there are OBs who will deliver a breech baby, just not every doctor.
Thanks very informative I highly appreciate.
Im so glad to help!
Good thing I fasted the nurse didn’t tell me to fast but my best friend did.
Oh wow I’m surprised your nurse didn’t
I didn't know that either thanks for posting
They want to do mine at 38 weeks at my induction time and I’m terrified there waiting that long I want to do anything possible to avoid c sections
How was yours? My baby flipped transverse and I will be induced Monday at 38+1
He thankfully flipped right before birth but he ended up Shoulder dystocia. And in nice but he’s not 2months and two weeks and doing better he came out sideways and they didn’t want to turn him for some reason
My DIL is scheduled to have this done tomorrow. I pray she actually goes in and he has flipped. She's been doing exercises for a week. He's a large baby with lots of fluid around him. Praying like mad for my DIL & my grandson.
I hope it went well!! 💗
@@RaisingLittleLights great news....he flipped all on his own!!! He is already proven that he's gonna be such a good little baby. She got to hospital they did a sonogram and sure enough Jetson flipped and is now head first!! Yay!!
@@pennyvestina2908 yayyyyyy!!! That is such wonderful news, so happy for her!! 💛
I had this procedure done 3 days ago. Im in so much discomfort still.
I’m so sorry!
I had a breech baby too 😩 im 37weeks right now. And i dont know how to do 🤦♀️
Any change with your breech baby?
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I think after watching this video, I will be canceling my ECV 🙁
I wouldn’t! Remember what I said, for some women the ECV will be almost effortless and the baby will turn easily within the first 15 seconds. For others, the baby is stuck and no matter how hard the doctor tries the baby won’t turn. Those are the cases where it’s painful, but you won’t know if your baby could turn easily or not unless you try. I would try! And if it’s been a good 15-30 seconds and the baby isn’t budging, then you gave it a shot and you don’t have to keep trying, but at least you gave it a shot! I know several women who had pain free ECVs. It’s totally possible 😊
I just came out of my ECV and he would not budge. At least we tried. 😊 thank you for your words of encouragement!
Why didn’t they just give you regional anesthesia? That’s terrible.
Im not sure 😅
Girl loved your video but you talk sooooo slow! I have you at 2x and English isn’t even my native language yet is so slow :(
I’ve never been told I talk too slow, usually it’s the opposite 😂 good thing you can watch in 2x 👍🏻 glad you loved the video content!
What are you even talking about?!?
You should take this down. Very discouraging
The point of this video is to inform the women watching of my honest experience. Not everyone’s experience will be the same, but this was my experience and there is nothing wrong with sharing it.
It’s her experience, it’s not meant to be a pep talk. I am someone who might have to get one and honestly I prefer peoples real experience over pretending it’s going to be a jolly good time.
People are so afraid of honesty these days. This constant "stay positive" drives me crazy. Positivity doesn't care about actual physical things or the other way around. This hurt this woman but she gave it a try and she made it through. That's what counts.
