Here's a little more info on the External Cephalic Version. Not all breech babies result in a c-section but a great many of them do. The external cephalic version is a good option and has about a 56% success rate, however the chance to do this procedure can be lost if labor speeds up or the amniotic sac ruptures. Doing the cephalic version at 36+ weeks of pregnancy helps increase chances for a vaginal birth. Not guaranteed but more hopeful. Before 36 weeks the fetus is more likely to slip back into the breech position and it's usually not done if there are twins. Great post. Here’s a little more info on the External Cephalic Version.
