*Unsuccessful* Version...vaginal breech??From: Rebecca (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 24 Nov 1997 12:30:09 -0600
Hello. Well, the external version didn't do the trick. Hopes were high with a small baby, good amniotic fluid, etc. The baby tolerated all the shoving around very well, though. So...now what? My Ob is set against vaginal deliveries for breech. However he won't be doing the delivery, most likely. (I'm with Kaiser.) I spoke with the Perinatologist who went through the criteria for considering a vaginal birth. I am very reluctant to go ahead and schedule a c-section. The baby is expected to be small, in the 5lbs range amd my first delivery was quite easy and fast. So far, the baby is frank breech. Is is unreasonable to *attempt* a vaginal delivery? I am concerned about just how quickly a breech delivery can turn bad. Can babies go from frank breech to footling *suddenly*? I've read that the mother's motivation is an important factor. How about the doctor's? I don't really want to push for a delivery that the doctor is neither comfortable, nor experienced with. I should have a couple more weeks to think this over, while trying all of the "home remedies". (My favorite being handstands in a swimming pool!) Any advice on how to make this decision would be so appreciated! Best Wishes, Rebecca
