position of baby and what you can feel....

[Trillian]

go to www.spinningbabies.com for some tips on how to get a OP bub to turn, but the main things are to not slouch back in lounge chairs etc - keep good posture at all times and spend as much time as you can on all fours. When a bub is fully anterior, all you can feel is their back - a big hard mass the length of your belly and you wont feel a great deal of movement right at the front, it will be more towards the sides and at the back.

ETA - if all that fails, it is possible to successfully birth an OP baby without too much trouble. spinning babies also has some tips for you to use in labour to help bubs turn during contractions. You will have to be dedicated in your attempts over the coming weeks though. And try not to be too concerned about it - some babies wont turn till labour starts (although it's often a catch 22 because the baby's head needs to push on the cervix to help things along) and others wont turn till they are on the perenium. My last two were OP babies and knowing what I had previously learnt from my first OP birth made my next one a lot easier to deal with and he was born in around 6hrs, so it wont necessarily mean a long birth either.
