Swimming

My Ds didn't turn :( I ended up with a csec (due to other issues)

My girl was posterior from 34 weeks and I was told to not lean back like always sit forward, use a Pilates ball to sit on instead of a lounge, lay on your sides and spend as much time as you can on your hands and knees. I got my girl turned by 37 weeks :)

My second dd was posterior throughout my whole pregnancy. My midwife said I could do the exercises however bub was likely to turn back posterior as she was obviously comfortable there. I found standing in the shower leaning over a chair rocking side to side felt better and she turned right at the end. I had no stitches or grazes :) I asked for an epidural (I had always planned to have one) but there was no time.

Thanks heaps girls :) I'm going to try what I can to get him to move n I will remember don't lay down during labour n lots hot shower :) xx

my son was like that. its terrible pain i walked for 4days ended up in emergency c sec.

maybe consider a chiropractor.

and acupuncture.

chiropractic is good before anyones labour and ill be seeing one before mine. it can help ease labour pain as well as shorten it, and it may help bub move right way round.

good luck.

Oh and LOTS of gas if they offer you pathadine say don't as once you take it they make you lay down! The midwife didnt say that before she gave it to me but I had to get up and move!

Hey fee my bubs was posterior I had a natural birth like that! Your lucky as my doctors didnt recommend anything to make him move but if your bubs is still in the postion when you give birth try not to lay down as I found it was the worst for the contractions and labor in general, all the pressure is on your back and yes its not nice im a ftm too and i cant tell you if its worse then normal labor! i found the best for me was on all 4s in the shower with the shower running on my lower back or bend over the bed rocking your hips side to side as the pain is pretty intense on your back as well and your contractions on top of it im not gonna lie it bloody hurt lol but the best advise i got given by my midwife was when you in the moment of contraction is to think of it as your walking up a hill as its happening then count down as they go away like you walking down it! I hope your bubs moves for you babe : )xx

My sister had this and all fours worked for her

Yep my bub was posterior from about 35 weeks, spent most of my final weeks on all fours crawling around the house!

Had a very long painful labour, which I spent most of the time on all fours or hanging over the back of the bed as sitting or lying down was too painful.

I suggest of you are wanting to avoid drugs, go the water injections if he stays posterior through labour, they really helped me - except by then I had been on my feet for about 12 hours and labouring for almost 34 so I had the first chance to lie down and I did - bub flipped back posterior as I started to push, disengaged and I was taken for an emergency c-section!!

All I can say, to do your best to avoid back labour and an ending like mine, no matter how tired you get, stay on all fours or standing and leaning over, this will be your best chance to birth vaginally!

Both my girls were posterior so I can't compare the pain to non-posterior. Back labour was horrible but you wont know any different being a ftm :) if nun doesn't turn before labour, all fours, heat packs & back rubs worked (ish) for me. Try not to lay or lean back while sitting ad it will hurt more (I did that a lot) :( hope the pain eases up soon

My bub was posterior when I was labouring so I got an epi as every time I contracted I felt like I had to poo! That isn't a good thing when your cervix is only 1cm dilated! It was very painful.

My bubs was posterior early on and I delivered that way. I don't mean to scare you but it was so painful and I tore quite bad. Rocking didnt work for me, but that's not to say it won't work for you. Fingers crossed

Thanks girls I really hope he moves for me :( how much worse is the pain if he stays like this ?

I rocked too. It didn't make my son move, but it did provide relief for my sore back. There's a website called spinning babies that talks about positioning and exercises to get your baby move to a more favourable position. It's a great website.

Both my girls were posterior and after trying everything to get them to turn they didn't until just before I delivered. Sorry :(

Oh not good dolly :( he's only just turned to my back the last few days I'm hoping he's going to turn again he was always on my right side before

No good news on my behalf I had the same problem, tried the rocking. We were back to back from 32 weeks and for me it didn't help, he was born with his back to mine :(
