Another thing to throw in here, the injury rate for cs breeches is high - about 1% of babies are cut by the surgeon's scalpel during a c-section, but it's 6-9% of breech babies. Obviously in a life-or-death situation this is just an unavoidable risk, but otherwise stitches on your birthday is a bit grim.
I'd try everything on spinning babies from now until 37 weeks, then try a few ECV's (as many as it took/was safe), and then i'd have a vaginal breech birth. But then there are very few reasons i'd have a c-section anyway.
The important thing to remember is that breeches, like posterior bubs are NORMAL but RARE. Not ABNORMAL. Just because a given Ob or midwife hasn't delivered many vaginally doesn't mean it can't be done or is especially dangerous. With a skilled caregiver outcomes for both possie and breech babies are great.
Best of luck hun, remember to talk to your baby. Rub your belly every day and ask baby to turn, tell them it's going to be safer and easier for you both if they come out head down, think positive head-down thoughts and do your spinning bubs exercises like crazy. If all else fails then your bub is destined to come in butt first, and that, when all is said and done, is a perfectly respectable way to arrive
