Which is best a C-section or to trying to turn the baby to a head-down position?

Question

I am 36 weeks pregnant and my baby is still breech, my doctor asked me if I wanted a c-section or let them try to turn her

Answer 1

I had vaginal and it didn't destroy me down there...with my daughter she was breech up to 36 weeks and then she turned on her own...but you can do some excercises to help her turn...IE do what I like to call cat hunches where you get on all 4s and arch your back like a cat...or you can take a few pillows and prop your butt up inn the air where you are inclined and stay like that for 10 to 15 minutes a day (with the help of your partner of a friend) and gravity will help encourage the baby to turn it's self...these are what my doc recommended for me to do...

Answer 2

Baby i say turn her so u can push her out because a c section hurts like two weeks after the baby is out. I have four kids the first three were pushed out & the last 1 was a c section i got my tubes tied because after goin through that pain i dont want anymore

Answer 3

well depending how much ur really wanting a vaginal birth and how big the baby is at the time of when they want to turn the baby. u can have them try to turn the baby but in my oppinion id rather have a c-sec. i am fixing to have my 3rd c-sec coming up real soon and i just perfer them since to me its more sceduled and i know what to expect. BUT many woman would like the experience of a vaginal if they can. i dont feel less of a mother or less of experienceing birth because i had to have c-sections. my first son was breech and was 8lbs 4.3oz. for me he was to big to turn so i had to have a c-sec. from then on ive just had c-secs. i just know for me, i dont have the patience to be pushing something out my hoo hoo lol. God sure knew what he was doing makeing it accessible for me to have c-secs. so ultimately it is ur choice to have them at least TRY to turn the baby but that still dont mean u wont have to have a c-sec. I hope everything works out for u. God Bless!

Answer 4

i had 2 c-sections, it actually really depends on the quality of your doc and the hospital u giving birth in, C-Section does hurt but with the medications you'll be fine; i heard vaginal birth destroys you down there and that could bring problems with your husband later on u can imagine why, and vaginal birth does bring some problems also like constipation(its hell). I was also scared but now i see it like no big deal its juss a lil line like scar that you could barely see.U really need help though when bringin the baby home. Either way..good luck!!!

Answer 5

you still have a few weeks before ur due date, wait and see if the baby turns on its own. if it doesn't then get a c-section. a lot of times them trying to turn babies isnt successful and end up in c-sections anyways. c-sections suck, but its better to be safe.

Answer 6

I heard that when a doctor tries and turns a baby it could work but you could also be rush into a c-section...I would say not to touch was isn't worken..I know a c-section is a major thing but women go threw it everyday...Good Luck!!

Answer 7

I would let them try and turn her, some people even turn there babies on there own. From what I have heard it is pretty safe to have your baby turned.

Answer 8

let them try, its not a complex preocedure, and it can work. C-section is major surgury!!!
