Surgery for breech. Until mom helped this ECV with her hands for a natural birth.

If your baby is breech at 36 to 37 weeks and you're trying to avoid a C-section, this is real footage using gentle belly massage (External Cephalic Version, or ECV) to turn a breech baby head-down— no drugs, no surgery.    • External Cephalic Version ECV for Breech      • Short External Cephalic Version ECV for Br...   MAUS ECV. Maternal Assisted Ultrasound-guided Soft Touch Tap Technique External Cephalic Version. Painless ECV for Breech without medication. Larry Hinkson (MBBS, MRCOG, FRCOG, MD), a British trained Obstetric and Gynaecology Consultant working at the world famous Charité University Hospital in Berlin Mitte, performs a soft touch and painless External Cephalic Version (Äußere Wendung) using a special massage technique on a patient whose baby was in breech presentation. We are very grateful to the patient who allowed us to film the procedure. Full consent from her was obtained for public broadcast. The External Cephalic Version procedure is preformed in accordance with hospital guidelines, which involves a pre-procedure assessment, ultrasound examination and explanation of the benefits and risks. Full consent is always obtained. Monitoring of the fetus is performed before, during and afterwards to ensure optimal fetal well-being. All external cephalic versions are performed with the anaesthetic team and operation team available in the unlikely event that they are needed. After a successful external cephalic version, patients may stay overnight for observation and are discharged with a normal vaginal delivery expected.
