Sharing experience ECV from a husband

Hi, I’m just sharing what I experienced recently when my wife tried ECV suggested by the gynae since baby is in breech position at 36weeks. Honestly even though i wasn’t going through the pain physically, it was unbearable to watch the entire time seeing what my wife was expressing and tearing out during the process . Especially when me and my wife had our first missed-miscarriage with our 1st pregnancy at about 22 weeks and was issued high-risked with the 2nd. Baby is still in breech position after ECV- they tried turning twice but was unsuccessful. Our gynae already booked caesarean in 2weeks time. I pray and hope for a smooth procedure and recovery. And i pray that other couple out there facing the same situation have a smooth and safe delivery. And for the fathers, never stop giving support and being strong for your partner.

Hello! I hope all will be well! This is really helpful as I’m 33 weeks pregnant with my second and he’s still in breech position. My gynae gave me the option ECV but there are risks laid out too. The other option is elective C-sect if baby is still in same position. This has given me more confidence to avoid doing ECV and think about c-sect instead. Thank u!

Hi, don’t worry baby might still turn in these last few weeks. Although there are risk in doing ECV I would still suggest trying because caesarean have higher risk factors. But of course follow your heart because from what i see, mothers know their body better as different moms go through pregnancy differently. Always follow your gut. I pray for your smooth delivery.
