Dear Maayan,
First of all it is very likely that the baby will turn on its own in the next 3 weeks. I advise you to do turning exercises and heat a moxa to the outside of your little toe, and try consulting a Chinese Medicine Practicioner. If this all fails, then I suggest to turn the baby at Meir Hospital where they are really expert at this, and do it twice a week up to 38 weeks. After they turn the baby, then they let you go home and go into labor spontaneously. You just call the delivery room and make an appointment and bring a tofes 17
The risks are very rare, and include a separation of the placenta, which necessitates an immediate Cesarian. I have sent dozens of women there throughout the years and this has never happended. However, this is the reason why you need to turn the baby under ultrasound and in the hospital. It takes about a few hours waiting before and after, but the procedure itself is only a few minutes and has been described as "uncomfortable" but quick. It is not done by force, and if it doesn't go easily they don't do it. Also your placenta has to be in the right place, and enough water. Once the baby has turned, you have all the good chances of birthing normally. If you opt to have a Cesarian, then you place yourself at much greater risk (hemorrhage, infection, anesthesia complications, adhesions) and then will always be considered high-risk for your future births. Also babies born by Cesarian Sections have more respiratory problems. Best of luck
