    I just had an ECV and it was successful in moving my baby from breech to vertex. I am 37 weeks and have an anterior placenta. The procedure was done at the hospital by an experienced perinatologist. No epidural or terbutaline was used. I personally did not find it painful, mostly just felt a lot of pressure (like a deep tissue massage). Based on my experience, I’d definitely recommend if your baby is breech, oblique or transverse and you want to avoid a cesarean section.

      @@sarahs7751In the end, I did end up delivering by C section because the baby went into distress during active labor. All said and done, I’d still recommend the ECV. And yes, way less painful than the c section. 😂

      I don't recommend an ECV. I did it at 38 weeks and 0 days and while it was successful, I went into labor the next morning. Had to do an unplanned C section after laboring for 24 hours. Turns out the cord was tangled around my baby's neck!
      Ask your doctor but personally, I recommend doing a planned C section at 39 or 40 weeks. That way, it still gives time for your baby to flip. If baby doesn't flip, there's something preventing it from doing so!
      My baby is fine now but I regret doing the ECV. Now I can't do a vaginal birth in the future because they had to do a T-shaped C section .

    I was offered an ECV and turned it down because I was scared of going into labor early... After watching this video I wish that I had maybe done it. It's maybe not too late because I am still in 37 weeks but I was worried about the outcome and putting stress on my baby

    So, with everything you said about ECV for VBAC, it's impossible to get VBAC. However, my doctor is saying it's impossible, and she's not giving me many options other than a C-section. I feel helpless because I have no health condition, and I had a pretty good pregnancy, but my doctor only gave me a C-section other than ECV.

    In my country doing ecv at semi government is so pricey which I cant afford. Meanwhile ecv at government is affordable but they dont want to do because to them 3.0kg baby at 37weeks 1day is too big + very risky and they directly asked me to do elective czer. So now to give birth you need more money to standby is it??

  • @mindyzuckerman936

  • @candisham1978
    @candisham1978 8 месяцев назад +4

    Giving a spinal for an ECV is extreme. I know many women who’ve had it and never offered any anesthesia at all. The U.S. has gotten too out of control with all these medical interventions.

      Hi Janine! I just had an ECV yesterday, & I have an anterior placenta. Probably took a minute/ just over a minute to flip our bub. I've heard they either move really easy or don't want to wriggle out of their spot. Now its just a wait to see if she stays head down. Goodluck if you decide to get one🙏🏼😊

      Abortion isn’t needed. C-sections or early induced labor maybe yes. The only time it would be ok is in case of severe deformities or some serious medical issue. -someone who had an abortion. ❤
