External cephalic version ECV

Has anyone had one  or did you decide on elective caesarean. If you did have one did baby stay head down or turn back. Also did you have any problems with it.

Thanks I think I will give the ecv a go and if it doesn't work then I will have to book a caesarean. I just don't want to spend a while recovering as I have a two year old and my partner works every single day x

I am having a scheduled c-section next week. My first was an emergency c-section. The doctor said I should be able to go home in 2 days. The healing was not bad for the first one, so I am hoping for the same this time. I just follow the doctors orders for healing and wear a abdoninal compression to help me move easier.

Sorry I meant how long did they keep you in hospital for the recovery x

Was it your first child RockRose and did it hurt.  I'm pretty sure she has turned slightly and is now laying sideways/transverse. And how long. Did it take you to recover from caesarean x

Sometimes,  the reason the baby isn't head-down is because there isn't room in the pelvic structure for the baby's head.  I had an ECV and my baby was head-down,  but I couldn't deliver anyway because there was no room for him in my pelvis.

I decided on an elective c section. Turns out my son was breech anyways so i wouldve had to get one regardless. Wasnt able to walk around for only two days then i was up and cleaning my house once i got home. Wasnt bad at all.
