Hi Kristi,my second baby was posterior and other than having a back labour - lots of pain in my lower back I honestly didn't find it any different to my other births. I think if you spend as much time not on your back during labour and try to get into postions like on all fours you might get some relief.

You still have pletny of time for bub to turn around though. Try not to slouch too mush when sitting down. Sit so that your knee's are higher than your hips. Have a look on the spinning babies website for some idea's/ You can also have some acupuncture done to try and encourage bub into a more favourable position. I really don't think though that just because bub is posterior you would need a c section. Bub stil comes out the same way, just facing more upwards. Also with my son as he was being born they rotated him around gently. Nothing that I felt or noticed at the time. He was born in a birthing centre so I had no drugs either.

I have heard that posterior babies make for a longer labour but I didn't find this to be the case for me. My labour was only just over and hour so if it were a longer one I hate to think how quick it would have been then

Good luck hun. I'm sure you will do a great job
