External Version.... tell me what you know!

Our baby is Frank breech at this point in our pregnancy.  I have another growth ultrasound this Friday to check her out (marginal cord insertion) but they will also check where she is in my belly.

DH and I have decided that if she stays breech we will opt for the C-Section rather than a vaginal breech delivery to minimize potential risk.  I realize a lot of moms are comfortable with a vaginal delivery but we have made this personal choice because it is what feels right for us.

My OB's office phoned to today to tell me they had booked me in for a version at the perinatal clinic about a week after this Friday's ultrasound.  Has anyone else had a version?  Is it worth it? What are the risks that you know of?  They perform it on the L&D ward and monitor you for 8 hours to make sure you don't go into early labor or have other "complications".... not sure about this.
