I agree that your VBAC dreams shouldn't be derailed yet! Try spending some time on your bed on your knees, bottom up and head resting on your arms, help to encourage your baby to turn herself. Having your baby turned from the outside is painful, but so is a C-section. I would definitely push your Dr. to wait to schedule your surgery until closer to your due date. Are you having a Doula attend your birth as your coach (as well as your DH)? They have some great ideas for positions. I am biased, I am a Doula. Also are you Frank breech or complete breech? Sometimes you can deliver a Frank breech naturally, but your Dr would have to agree! Also, I am from Canada and I know things are different!
