This episode outlines a step-by-step process of what happens when a woman undergoes an external cephalic version (ECV) in a hospital setting.

Vaginal breech delivery has long been considered risky, leading most providers to recommend cesarean sections for breech-positioned babies. However, with the right expertise, careful candidate selection, and proper management, a vaginal breech birth can be a safe and viable option. While complications such as head entrapment and umbilical cord compression can occur, experienced providers trained in breech techniques can minimize these risks. External cephalic version (ECV) may help turn the baby head-down, but when that isn't successful, vaginal delivery remains possible under skilled hands. At Maternal Resources, we have over 20 years of experience safely delivering breech babies, offering personalized care to families seeking an alternative to automatic cesarean delivery.
