Version

So, I went in for my check up and sono today. Peanut is still breech...this is not too big of a deal because she has some time to turn.

On September 28th, I will have another sono and if she is still breech, I will be checked into the hospital on the 29th and they will try to do a version. This is where they will try to turn her manually from the outside. Bellow is somethings that we have to be aware of. I copied it from this website. If you have any questions, please let us know.


Although rare, there can be some complications with version:

  • Premature rupture of membranes
  • Problems with the baby's heart rate
  • Placental abruption
  • Preterm labor
Version usually is done near a delivery room. If problems occur, the baby then can be delivered quickly, by cesarean delivery if necessary.
