Maybe: You can either do a version or most likely for what is best for you have an elective c/s for breech. Some patients depending on the number of previous deliveries might even attempt a vaginal delivery. Talk with you OB and a plan of action between you and your OB can be determined.

Breech: External podalic version is the process by which an OB will attempt to change the presenting fetal part from breech to vertex. This is a process done in a hospital by a skilled ob. The overall success rate is approximately 70 %. Many factors go into determing which patient is a candidate for this procedure.
