I'm really sorry to hear it didn't work and that it was such an unpleasant experience.

If you're still interested in trying to avoid a section, have you considered hypnosis? It might sound like woo, but there is some hard scientific evidence for its effectiveness. In an RCT, hypnosis was found to have an 81% success rate in turning footling breeches. It actually makes sense, as it can really help you to release fears and tension and helps you to relax those muscles that may be preventing baby from turning. Best of luck for a great birth, however it happens.

Quote:

A study conducted at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Vermont College of Medicine, Burlington, USA evaluated the efficacy of hypnotherapy in converting a breech presentation to a vertex presentation. One hundred pregnant women whose fetuses were in breech position at 37 to 40 weeks' gestation were analyzed and a matched comparison group of women with similar obstetrical and socio-demographic parameters derived from databases for other studies from the same time period and geographical areas.

Hypnotherapy was given in the form of suggestions for general relaxation with release of fears and provided whenever it was convenient and possible for the women until they were delivered of the baby or the baby converted to the vertex position.

A successful conversion for the intervention group was scored when the baby spontaneously converted to the vertex position before delivery or if there was a successful external cephalic version. The conversion rate of the women receiving hypnotherapy was compared with a control group who received standard obstetrical care without the opportunity for hypnosis.

The results revealed that eighty-one per cent (81%) of the fetuses in the intervention group converted to vertex presentation compared with forty eight per cent (48%) of those in the control group, demonstrating a considerable [69%] and statistically significant therapeutic effect of the hypnotherapy treatment.

The report concluded that motivated women can be influenced by a skilled hypnotherapist in such a manner that their fetuses have an increased frequency of conversion to vertex presentation.

Aww Ellie.... I'm sorry it wasn't successful. I take it that you wouldn't recommend the procedure then, despite being glad you gave it a go...?

Big hugs to you ellie

You are braver than me

You gave it a good shot, but sounds like your little sweetie is happy where she is.

I have heard a lot of positive things about planned CSs - ok there are downsides too and it is quite a thing to get your head around, but they are not that bad (and a lot better than emergency CSs).

Hi. Sorry to hear it didn't work. Mine didn't either. My c-section is scheduled for Tuesday morning. I knew it wouldn't work and was already resigned to a c-section. Now I'm just excited to meet my little girl next week.

Again, so sorry you had such an unpleasant experience. I hope you are ok.

I'm sorry it didn't work after such a unpleasant experience.

I'm having a planned C-Section and found Eldars planned c-section birth story, in birth annoucments, really reassuring.

Good luck for Monday.
