How do I prevent a c-section from occuring when a baby is bridged or if the baby is sitting down in the womb?

My sister has had two children and she is expecting another one. She had to go through a c-section because her second child was bridged.

How do I prevent a c-section from occuring when a baby is bridged or if the baby is sitting down in the womb?
Do you mean BREECHED?





Usually if the baby is breech, they can attempt to turn the baby around, which if you're really trying to avoid a c-section, then it might be the right option for you. But it's not for everyone, as it doesn't always work and it can be very painful.





However, just because your sister had a breech baby, doesn't mean you will, it doesn't run in families.
Reply:do you mean BREECH? breech means right side up, the proper way is head down. C Section is the safest was for baby and mother to be safe during delivery so they almost always deliver them by c section. Just because her first was breech does not mean this one will be too. She may be able to have a vaginal delivery:)
Reply:there are things that you can do it home put your elbows on the ground and lean down with your knees on the ground and stay that way for about 10-15 mins a couples times a day or you can lay down and stick a couple pillows under your back with your butt elevated for a while a couple times a day..... that is what my midwife told me to do and it worked.... good luck
Reply:I'm assuming you mean the baby is breech (bottom down instead of head). There is a proceedure where the doctor can try to rotate the baby by pressing on the mothers belly however it is painful and isn't always sucessful. It's really up to the doctor whether she thinks it will work but your sister can always ask.
Reply:My baby is breech and we are hoping it will turn in time. Just because she had one baby breech does not mean that her next one will be. If it is though, she can have another c-section or have the baby turned (as an above poster said, this is painful and not always successful).


If the baby is in frank breech (the butt is towards the birth canal with the body folded in half and feet towards the head) it is possible to deliver the baby through vaginal delivery, although many doctors won't because it carries a very high risk. This type of delivery is hard on both the mother and the baby (at least that's what I understand).


There are two other types of breech as well, footling breech and complete breech. Footling breech is when the baby is feet first. Complete breech is when the butt is towards the birth canal with the legs folded so the feet are by the butt.


Both of these are generally delivered by cesarean delivery.





There are some homeopathic remedies that can be used to try to get the baby to turn. Exercises done on the hands and knees with the pelvis elevated can help. As can laying on the stomach with the hips lifted, this is best done when the baby is active.
Reply:the doc can try to reposition the baby before birth
