My 2nd was posterior! I was enduced with her and still managed a drug free, 4 hour from gel placement to bub in my arms, no tearing birth! Do not go in there thinking it it going to be terrible. It was definately more painful than my non-posterior labour but hey the second that bub is out- NO MORE PAIN!!

I have heard there is a series of needles they can give you for pain relief- it is sterile water injected between the skin and the muscles and it is meant to be a real killer to have them but it works a treat. It is nick-named the 'bee sting'
