I've had two induced labours, and both of my boys started out posterior. What got me through?
1. My husband is an awesome awesome awesome birth support
2. I bullied my OB into doing it my way
3. I am totally afraid of having a needle in my back
4. Good luck - I was lucky that my boys turned, my midwives were supportive, and that any complications were minor and able to be overcome

My first labour I had peth and it was a total waste of time so I didn't bother with anything second time around.
