Last week Kim Kardashian announced her unborn child was in a breech position and that she might have to undergo caesarian section surgery in order to give birth [click here if you missed that].
Not anymore…
Kim writes on her website,
“This weekend, I checked into the hospital and underwent a procedure called an ECV (External Cephalic Version, or a Version), which is done to manually turn the baby from a breech position to a head-down position.”
“They gave me an IV with medication to relax my uterus, and then three doctors attempted to work together to turn the baby.”
“There was a risk that my water might break or the baby’s heart rate could drop — in which case, an emergency C-section would then take place. I went in with my sisters and my husband. I was prepared for it all! Thankfully, neither happened, but it was hardly an easy experience."
“They don’t give you any pain medication, and let me tell you: This was soooooo painful. Probably more painful than childbirth. BUT it worked!!! My baby is in the right position and it feels so good to not have the stress of thinking I need a C-section.”
