hi bugalug,
my breech bub is now 14 weeks old and yes i had 4 ECV's all of wich failed but they were not as bad as i was told they would be if anything mildly uncumfortable but for mr i wanted to try everything to avoid a c/s ,im not sure if your hospital will allow you to have a breech birth but up here there is DR Bisits at john hunter hospital that will if all looks good not sure if newcastle would be to hard for you or even if you would want to but he was great told me i give it a go as i was sure thats what i wanted and i had a 8lbs 15oz healthy baby boy after just over 4 and a half hour of labour but deffinatley try the ECV and if you want a vag birth you will probably have to fight for it .
