help! breech baby

I need opinions on if I should try to do the version or wait and see if she decides to turn on her own or just accept the c-section at 39 weeks unless I start natural labor. So scared and this is my third daughter and had two fairly good natural deliveries already... Not too mention I really didn't want to have an epidural this time because that messed up my last one so bad with my daughter my back still hurts all of the time. Please help and also can I have advice on what to wear and what to expect after the c-section. I am planning on breastfeeding too so advice there with a c-section would be appreciated as well! Thanks everybody!!!!!!

Does no one do breech births near you? It's still considered safe birthing practice if you have a doctor or midwife experienced in breech delivery. We have a breech clinic in our city that you can book into with trained obs, or private midwives you can hire. Any options like this? It's only become more dangerous because most obs/midwives have never seen one or had training these days. No idea if you'd have access to specialized professionals, but thought I should mention it in case you do as an alternative option!

I heard check out spinningbabies.com also you can try a chiropractor, acupuncture or pressure I can't remember hopefully someone can clarify that for me because I'd like to check it out. Expect to be sore and walking difficult after csection. Walking a long distance is difficult afterwards (for me it was but I got around pretty good with breaks). Wear a shirt made for nursing I have a couple I purchased so I can easily slip it down and have a nursing bra plus some pads for leaking. You may want some of your own pads if you do not like the hospital pads for the vaginal bleeding after.
