Anyone had a External Cephalic version (ECV)

Got a planned ECV next week as my baby is breech at 36 weeks. Any had this before? Does it hurt a lot? Was it successful?

I had one - I found it very painful, and was unsuccessful for me. It only has 40% success rate in FTM and even then chance of turning back breech. Ended up having an elective c section just before due date. Tbh if I had my time again I wouldn’t bother trying 😬

OK good to know. The risks worry me that come with it too

@Chloe yeah I was the same, although the consultant assured me the risks are very low I was still super worried. Obviously we were all fine, just a very stubborn (long legged) baby!

Ah ok. Natural to worry though I guess. Thank you 😊 x

My freinds baby was breech but turned in labor when she was induced so she avoided her planned c section, he was still breech at 39 weeks.

Yes I had one and it was uncomfortable - my baby didn’t turn in the end
