External Version
If your baby doesn't move into a head-first position on his or her own, your doctor may attempt to do an external version. Your doctor will try to rotate the baby by pressing down on your belly. You may be given medicine to relax your uterus. This can make it easier for your doctor to rotate the baby. During a version, ultrasound is used to watch your baby.

Delivering Your Baby
Even if the baby's position can't be changed, he or she can sometimes be born vaginally. But more often, a cesarean section (surgical delivery) is done. You will have anesthesia (medicine to block pain), but you may remain awake and alert.
