DD3 was face up and a horrible birth, no contractions just white hot pain, I didn't even know I had to push, had 3 vacuum suction, and a go at forceps before episiotomy. I was being sown up for ages!! DD4 was correct positioning, whole labour was different. Do you think it's too early to try turning baby???
Are you familiar with the spinning babies website? There's some good suggestions on there for encouraging optimal positioning. Even just thinking about the way you sit and lie, and getting onto all fours at times might help.
give the spinning babies website a go, but don't stress yourself out. babies can and do turn and move right up to and during labour. stay as active as you can, and avoid interventions to give baby the best chance of doing the moves he needs to do.
I gave birth to my DD3 naturally posterior (face up). It does cause pretty full on back pain, but it can be done if it comes to that. You just need to keep active during the labour.
Labours with babies in awkward positions can often slow down & this is when things usually go hay wire. Any good m/w or ob will know that when this happens you need to get moving, but it is advice you need to know yourself, because often these labours end up as an emergency c/s as they see it as labour not progressing.
Get onto the spinning babies website, but also educate yourself & prepare yourself for what may be a more interesting birth There are a few birth stories on here that are posterior births, so go have a read of them as well, so you can see that it can be done
