If Your Baby Is Breech: External Cephalic Version (ECV)

If your baby doesn't move into a head-first position on their own, your healthcare provider may attempt to do an external version. Your healthcare provider will try to rotate your baby by pressing down on your belly. Your healthcare provider may give you medicine to relax your uterus. This can make it easier for them to rotate your baby. During a version, your healthcare provider will use ultrasound to watch your baby.
