So baby boy is head down.. but he’s in posterior position 😨 have any mamas had their baby in this position and delivered…

Does that mean he’s facing towards your back?

Me! We didn’t know until he arrived though :) I had a csection with my first, so this was my first labor experience and it went on for hours. I was completely exhausted and the nurse kept telling me that I clearly wasn’t even trying if I hadn’t gotten him out yet (I was trying my hardest). After some oxygen and a bit of rest, I was finally able to push him out, and we realized that the “bald head” that we’d seen during the labor was actually his forehead since he was sunny side up. Because he was in that position, he basically exploded out of me (sorry to be graphic), and I ended up with 2nd degree tears both vertically and horizontally. They had to call in a surgeon to stitch me up because no one knew how to fix me. Anyways, it is possible, but from my experience, can be difficult. My son is 4 now though, and it was so worth it! :) Good luck!

Yes I did when I was in labor they had me do a bunch of different birthing positions which helped him turn around , he then exploded out as well and I had seven stitches, also he was born with cord around neck thank god doctors saved him ... so becareful .

I'm 27 but my baby is currently posterior position and head down. Following

@mandyd17 @jellybeans_mumm thanks for sharing me ladies 🤦🏾‍♀️lol

Haha sorry—I actually look back on the memory fondly! That was my first vbac and I’m happy he came out naturally at all or I may not have been able to have my second vbac.

@marielovely, no he’s facing towards the front 😨

I thought they were supposed to come out facing up 😐 lol

@mandyd17, that’s how my daughter was facing as well.. they had me try so many different positions to try and turn her .. it was painful and just so exhausting.. I was on oxygen as well , I pushed for 30 mins and the dr wanted to send me too c section already but the nurses told my dr to give us more time and I pushed for about 3 hours and she was out 😭😭 it definitely was rough . But thank you for sharing!! 🙂

My oldest and my youngest were both face side up. My oldest I pushed for over 3 hours and was a terrible delivery. My youngest I pushed twice and he was completely out. With all 3 of my children I had a 3rd degree tear.

My daughter was in this position when born, they didn’t know it til she was coming out...

@jellybeans_mumm, my daughter was facing forward as well and I struggled.. they had me try different positions to try and turn her , I had major tearing as well 😣 it was a long and exhausting delivery but I did it! Thank you for sharing!

@marielovely, lol no it’s best if they are facing towards the back , 😩 my daughter was facing forward as well and I had to push for 3 hours and they had me try many different positions to have her turn! It was a long exhausting delivery..

@mommy_x3, yes my first was in this position as well.. it was a long and exhausting delivery!

@danaalane26, yes with my first she was facing up and now with my second he’s facing up as well my dr. Said that maybe my body is just meant to carry babies this way .. but she did said he could turn from now until birth and I’m more than welcome to try different exercises.. but my first I pushed for 3 hours and she was out it was so exhausting!

Thank you for sharing!

@nessaness, i had an epidural lol so I didn’t feel much til I started pushing, and it started wearing off 😂
