Finding out your baby is breech late in pregnancy can stop you in your tracks. One moment the plan is straightforward; the next you are weighing up turning, waiting and deciding, with a deadline of sorts hanging over you. This book is a calm companion for that exact territory. It explains what a breech position actually means — frank, complete, footling — and why many babies simply turn on their own before the final weeks. It walks you through external cephalic version (ECV) in honest detail: what the procedure feels like, who offers it, and what to consider before agreeing. It looks at the gentler measures some parents try, and at what the evidence does and doesn't support. And it helps you approach the decision about birth — planned caesarean or vaginal breech birth — with clear questions for your consultant and space for your own feelings. However your baby is born, you deserve to feel informed, heard and at peace with your choice. Part of The Pregnancy Companion Library.
