breech baby going in 4 version

Hi ladies! Just wondering how many of you have had a breech baby & tried the cephalic version, where the doctor tries to turn baby, and if it worked. This baby #3 for me & my first breech baby. :-( I have had my other two boys vaginally so that's why the doctor & I opted to try the version, otherwise it's a c-section for me. Thanks in advance for any comments.

The same thing happened to me. I was 36 - 37 weeks and my doctor was going to try and turn the baby but there was not enough room so I had to have a c section. I was told its very painful like some of the other replies so I am glad he didn't do it.

Kyanisse I am 38wks 6ds. It's so weird because the week before when I went in he was head down, I did go swimming last weekend, and then this week he was breech. Lol Going swimming today again so we'll see if it works. ;-)

I am hoping baby turns on his own, either before after or during the version, but that's all up to him. Lol Thanks for the stories ladies. :-)

I had the version three weeks ago. Unfortunately it didn't work and it was just very painful. Baby ended up turning on his own the next week. My c section was canceled and im being induced tomorrow night at 40 weeks. I hope baby turns for you!!!
