My first was breech and born by c/s...he was normal, no problems at all. As for what your doc said.... "it could be that my pelvis is too small or that my uterus is an odd shape and the turning will only stress the baby out." I can't say that I agree with that...I have had a successful VBAC since my c/s. I think that may be a slight chance and definitely the case for some people, but they should be able to check that with u/s or xray anyway. I had an xray to check pelvis size to see if it would be ok to try a vaginal birth but they recommended against it due to the measurements of my pelvis, so it was informed and not a guess.
