    Hey suse

    great Q

    if they rupture your membranes with baby in an ROP position then he will engage in this position...which means he has further to rotate to move into an anterior position to be birthed...this is why posterior labors are known to be longer and more intense...the uterus is working hard to turn the baby

    all is not lost...foward positions...liks some of which i sent you...encourage the optimal opening of the pelvic cavity and allow for an eaiser rotation of the babies head

    all this said suse...babies are amazing in their way of choosing the way they will be birthed, an indicator of personality

    remain positive, calm and relaxed...empowered with your birth plan and you will do great
