My name is Brittany. I'm 18 and I'm in my 36th week.
My baby is breech. My midwife wants to do a External cephalic version. After talking to my husband about the risks to the baby and myself, we have choose not to do it.
We are hoping for the best and he turns on his own. If not, then I'm getting a C-Section.
I have a few questions:
1)Since the baby is breech, does that give me the right to choose when to have a C-Section?
2)What is it like after getting is done? (recovery)
3)Also, again since he is breech, can I demand to get a U/S, If I believe my baby is in any sort of danger?
Now the reason, I want a U/S done is because the midwife was talking to us about why he is breech. She kept going back to the cord being around him. Well, all she did was check to see where his head was and then told us about the External Cephalic Version. After that, she left. She never checked to see if the cord was around him somewhere. Or to see if anything else could be wrong.
I just want to make sure that my baby is okay and safe.
Advise and thoughts would be great! ↓
