External cephalic version (ECV) to turn a breech baby
This video shows an ECV to turn a breech baby to head-first. It is offered to women at 36-37 weeks and reduces the chance of needing caesarean sect...
@nat3310 - It's not true that it cannot be done. The UK guidelines state that previous CS is a 'relative contraindicaiton' which means that you have to weigh up pros/cons depending on individual circumstances. That is how I approach it, and if the woman is keen, all other features are reassuring ...

@tweetsmommy Sorry, but she did not have an epidural - I've never done it with one. I do agree that for some women their uterus is too tender to do an ECV so I can see that it might be helpful in that situation, but there aren't many that can't tolerate an attempt in my experience.

@casonswife No, I never do it with an epidural. Some people feel no discomfort, others find it a bit uncomfortable and a few are too tender to be able to do it at all. I think it depends on how sore your womb is to start with (i.e. when midwives/doctors prod & poke!)

@Ladyslat - extended position is less likely to be successful than flexed, but I don't think I could comment on the specifics of whether it will work for you or not. Trust your doctor. BW's.

@nat3310 YouTube won't let me post a link for some reason. To see the guideline, google 'ecv rcog green top' and it's the first result. Rgds, Danny
