Also did it work...


Been inpatient with twin II who was ambulanced to hospital for a second time with breathing problems, while there had my 37w obs appt, bbay is unstable lie, was transverse, 9ow breech so booked for ecv


D on't really have much time even to try other methods, having a sick child atm

I had two ECV attempts. They didn't work for me, but apparently the chances are much higher if it is a subsequent pregnancy (it was my first). It was quite uncomfortable, but you can ask them to stop if it doesn't feel right. There is a woman at King's that is known for being good and gentle at ECVS - maybe Dr. Jain or something like that?


Worth a try! I would think they would wait a bit longer as isn't there a chance that they might flip him/her now and then they flip back on their own accord? Did they say when they would do ECV?

I had it with my first pregnancy... It was a bit uncomfortable but not painful, although I did feel a little battered the next day. The consultant was very clear about stopping any time that it hurt and did it quite slowly and carefully (not that it worked!).


As someone said above, it has more success with subsequent pregnancies and there seem to be people who have a skill for it and others with much less luck.


Hope the baby does a flip of his own accord soon.

I had one at Kings with my second pregnancy (3 months ago) as my little boy was breech. Didn't work but was also 5 days overdue at that stage (breech was missed by midwives and doc!) - ranged from uncomfortable to holdng your breath painful but that's prob cos it was at such late stage. Dr Jain was there for mine but had bad shoulder so couldn't do the procedure (its quite physical!) but there was a lady chinese doc who was also lovely and yes you can stop at any time. Don't think I would do it again though - esp at such a late stage - you prob have more chances of it being more comfortable and successful at earlier stage...


Good luck!

I had one, first pregnancy at 37 weeks, for me it was really painful and unsuccessful - I personally would never do it again and so wouldn't recommend either.


My baby (born by planned c section at 39 weeks) had the cord wrapped around her neck three times!! So she wasn't going to move and maybe why is was soooo painful?!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
