What is the term for turning the baby in utero so that the head is delivered first?

"Cephalic Version" is the process of turning the baby in utero so that a breech birth is prevented. External Cephalic version is a procedure wherein the fetus is manipulated externally to turn it. It has a success rate of between 40 and 70%. ECV should be delayed as long as possible, since most breech birthing positions will right themselves before birth, and ECV is usually best performed at term, as earlier attempts do not usually influence birthing position. Internal Cephalic version is a procedure where hands are placed inside the uterus through the vagina to attempt to turn the baby internally.
