If this is your first birth I would recommend trying to turn the baby externally. It is important to go to a very experienced obstetrician in turning breeches, as experience is very important in a positive outcome. It is done in a hospital under ultrasound. I have heard wonderful things about Dr. Kaneti and Dr. Fagen in Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba. YOu just have to call the delivery room and make an appointment for external version, usually from 37 weeks. Before that the baby might turn on its own. There are other exercizes and also acupuncture that can help if it is earlier. Turning the baby is less risky for the baby than a vaginal delivery, and a vaginal delivery is much safer for you than a cesarian section. It is not always successful, but the risks are minimal under skilled hands. If it is not a first birth, then you can also try version, but a vaginal delivery with a skilled doctor is also a good option. Of course, this depends on the type of breech (feet first is always a Cesarian) and the size of the baby and the position of the head (flexed or not). Try special breech-turning exercises first. Contact me for more specific details. Good luck!
