If you are only 32 weeks now then that leaves heaps of time for the baby to turn.I assume that your ob has offered you ECV. ECV has a good success rate. The Term Breech Trial has been comprehensively dismissed as poor science and thus there is no evidence to show that a c/s for a breech baby is any safer than a vaginal birth. And given what we know about the dangers of caesarean compared to vaginal birth, I think you should be asking your obstetrician to explain his reasoning to you for offering you surgery rather than the alternatives.
Good luck,
David
