I just had an ECV and it was successful in moving my baby from breech to vertex. I am 37 weeks and have an anterior placenta. The procedure was done at the hospital by an experienced perinatologist. No epidural or terbutaline was used. I personally did not find it painful, mostly just felt a lot of pressure (like a deep tissue massage). Based on my experience, I’d definitely recommend if your baby is breech, oblique or transverse and you want to avoid a cesarean section.
Sounds more comfortable than a csection ❤
Thanks for sharing your experience
@@sarahs7751In the end, I did end up delivering by C section because the baby went into distress during active labor. All said and done, I’d still recommend the ECV. And yes, way less painful than the c section. 😂
I don't recommend an ECV. I did it at 38 weeks and 0 days and while it was successful, I went into labor the next morning. Had to do an unplanned C section after laboring for 24 hours. Turns out the cord was tangled around my baby's neck!
Ask your doctor but personally, I recommend doing a planned C section at 39 or 40 weeks. That way, it still gives time for your baby to flip. If baby doesn't flip, there's something preventing it from doing so!
My baby is fine now but I regret doing the ECV. Now I can't do a vaginal birth in the future because they had to do a T-shaped C section .
I would like to write that my ECV was successful and it is worth trying in my opinion.
Thanks. I'm breech at 36 weeks and nervous about a potential ECV. This video was really helpful!
This is rapidly becoming my favorite channel about birth.
I’m enjoying your videos. Thank you. ❤
Don’t forget to acknowledge that Midwives also practice ECV! ♥️♥️
I was offered an ECV and turned it down because I was scared of going into labor early... After watching this video I wish that I had maybe done it. It's maybe not too late because I am still in 37 weeks but I was worried about the outcome and putting stress on my baby
I was not offered a spinal for my ecv and it was very uncomfortable. It also didn’t work.
My provider brought this up to me today and did not mention the spinal. Can an ECV be done without one? Or did they just leave that out unintentionally?
What's the importance of the rhogam in ecv
Could the ambilical cord get twisted up?
I’m currently 38 weeks & my baby is breech, I’ve had a c section in the past…. Can a doctor still do ECV on me????
In my country doing ecv at semi government is so pricey which I cant afford. Meanwhile ecv at government is affordable but they dont want to do because to them 3.0kg baby at 37weeks 1day is too big + very risky and they directly asked me to do elective czer. So now to give birth you need more money to standby is it??
Hi I was just wondering is that ok if a mom is 40 weeks pregnancy
Is a spinal thing necessary for the ecv?
Does the baby ever flip back around after an ECV?
My breech baby ,,
36 weeks i did twice ecv
Both failed,
Its very very painful..
Giving a spinal for an ECV is extreme. I know many women who’ve had it and never offered any anesthesia at all. The U.S. has gotten too out of control with all these medical interventions.
It didn't work for my daughter and she's was 37 weeks
Does an epidural increase chances of success? Planning on having one tomorrow after previous c/s and was hoping not to get the epidural. Thank you!
Did you get the epidural and did the ECV work for you?
BLAH. I just wish I could get nurses to turn me upside down a few times like they did with my second baby. That worked and I didn’t have to go through any of this.
Bicornuate uterus success rates? I have my ecv today.
Like 👍 I love videos I love your videos
With an anterior placenta, are the chances of it working really really low? Have you ever successfully turned a baby with a mom who had an anterior placenta?
Hi Janine! I just had an ECV yesterday, & I have an anterior placenta. Probably took a minute/ just over a minute to flip our bub. I've heard they either move really easy or don't want to wriggle out of their spot. Now its just a wait to see if she stays head down. Goodluck if you decide to get one🙏🏼😊
Hi after abortion when can you try for a baby again bear in mind abortion was needed as it was a valid reason to. Thank you
Abortion isn’t needed. C-sections or early induced labor maybe yes. The only time it would be ok is in case of severe deformities or some serious medical issue. -someone who had an abortion. ❤
@@reflectionsinthebible3579sometimes even drs are wrong. My friend was told her child has down syndrome but she had baby anyways..and what do you know, baby was fine.
@@reflectionsinthebible3579gross! Many medical reasons to require an abortion. Way to make someone you don’t know feel awful.
You had my full support until you said birthing person. Women have children. No one else.
Amen! Stick with Truth!
Agree. Anything other is weird and disturbing
Yes only women give birth
I noticed that too . The terms should be mother, and baby.
“Birthing person”… not you too Brute
She can use whatever words she wants, and so can you.
The erasure of women from language of birth has become so widespread. Disturbing
Exactly ladies, we are the only ones who can give birth! Stick with the Truth!
Disturbing and weird for certain.
Please tell me why there was a poster with male anatomy at my OBGYN office today 😑. With pictures of a male pelvis.
