[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't docs know how to turn a breech baby anymore?  WTF with medical training these days?? [/quote]

I think what happened is they used science to evaluate the efficacy of various options for a breech birth and now they insist on the one that will kill the fewest people. [/quote

As someone with a failed ECV, the doctor 100% tried but it had to do with the position of my son's leg.  Pushing much harder could have hurt him.

3 years out, I don't care.  I have a happy toddler and a scar below my underwear line 
.  [b]At the time it seemed like such a big deal. [/b] I did so much to try to get him to flip and[b] in hindsight that obsessing was really bad for my mental health.[/b]

I'm a mom who a bunch of fitness classes, I climbed a mountain while pregnant and swam regularly up until my due date.  Kiddo wouldn't flip.  And it honestly doesn't matter.[/quote]

This is the thing about threads like these.  There are moms who are in the thick of it and feel anything other than "you got this mama!  Doctors are just in it for that sweet sweet c-section money and don't respect the magic of your body and will!" is discouraging them from trying for a vaginal birth.  And then there are moms like you (and me) who once felt that way and on the other side after a C-section we hoped to avoid wish that someone had made us understand that it wasn't that big of a deal.  It's certainly not something to tie any moral or personal judgment to, because in many ways it is out of your control.  But I'm not sure I would have listened to that someone at the time, either.  And so it goes.[/quote]
