Patient's willingness to opt for external cephalic version.

CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that expected pain during treatment and the success rate are the most important factors influencing the willingness to undergo ECV. Taking this information into account when counseling for ECV and reassuring women that unbearable pain is always a reason to stop ECV, and that the vast majority of women reported that the experienced pain is bearable, might improve the uptake of ECV and decrease the number of CS due to breech presentation.
