i agree with evrything that has been posted so far, just thought i'd tell u about my posterior birth. As with the others lying down during labour was unbearable, i could only cope through contractions by leaning over the bed with DH rubbing my lower back with his hand. I had stained waters which meant that bub was in distress so i was forced to lay on the bed in one spot with monitor attatched. cause i wasn't able to move i could no longer cope with contractions so had an epidural and drip to intensify contractions to turn him around. My labour took 13 hours, midwives predicted it would have only taken 8 hours if he wasn't posterior. he turned at the last minute and i pushed him out by myself, he was perfect no bruising or mishapen head or anything, i think i must have a big birth canal or something!

Anyway, what im trying to tellu is don't worry too much about it, its fine, labour is just different thats all, and if its ur first bub, like it was mine, then you'll never know its differnt from a normal labour anyway.During pg I tried to make sure i didn't slouch, and i felt like i was always on the floor on my hands and knees trying to get him to turn, and turn he did, but he turned many a time in the last 3 weeks, and still ended up facing the wrong way!

Goodluck, im wishing you a very normal, uneventful labour and birth.
