    Yes I definitely want to point out small bubs can have this too. I think there is even a study in the cochrane database about it. I know they even state that GD babes are at no higher risk for dystocia than others. Its all a positional thing. So get up, shake your butt and kick that epi to the curb!!!!

    DS also turned during labour so was posterior, so for us I definitely think it actually had very little to do with his size, more that he was just in a really awkward position for delivery.
