External Cephalic Version

I went in today to have the baby move and he wouldn't move. They were able yo move his butt but his head was comfy the way he was!!! I'm so irritated. I don't want a c-section. Any moms have had their babies turn on their own???

I'm in the same boat :( tried an ecv on Friday and she wouldn't flip and it actually put her in distress for about a minute or so her heart rate dropped.  They almost wanted to do a c section right then but her heart rate started to go back up. But yep I have to schedule her for next week and I really don't want a c section either.  Hopefully our babies spontaneously flip soon!

I have concerns about this...i know it's still early enough for my baby to turn on her own, but I've been looking at some stretches to do at home as well as chiropractic care by certified Webster method chiropractors...

I'm rh-ve with an rh+ve husband so couldn't have an ECV. Baby was breech until 36+ wks but turned. My midwife told me stories of babies that turned last minute - one even when mum was on operating table about to have CS. So try not to be too worried. They can turn late. Good luck I hope yours turns on their own.

Did they do this at your OBGYN Dr office? I've heard them attempting to move baby is fairly painful...
