The research compares two different methods of pain management during this procedure: sedation with Propofol versus spinal pain relief with Bupivacaine.

The study aims to determine which method results in more successful baby turning procedures. During the procedure, patients will receive either Propofol, a medication that causes sleepiness and relaxation, or Bupivacaine, a numbing medication injected into the spine. Some patients may also receive Fentanyl, a strong pain medication, as part of their treatment.

The medications will be given through an injection in the spine, known as epidural use. The study will monitor various aspects of patient comfort and safety, including pain levels, dizziness, nausea, and changes in blood pressure. The medical team will also track how well each method works for successfully turning the baby into the correct position.
