I was told the same as Marcellus at a birthing class i did. a baby will rotate clockwise from loa as it goes down through the pelvis, if it's on the Roa position it has to rotate much further and is more likely to be a posterior labour. I have no idea why it's more uncomfortable for you now though, maybe bubs has it's elbows sticking out.
I *think* I have heard that it's because your liver comes down on your right hand side. This pushes the baby out more and tends to make them rotate to posterior rather than anterior. Although as long as anterior, should be ok. I found out that last time DD was ROT (transverse head), which eventually made her rotate to posterior during labour. Would have been good for someone to have made some suggestions about positioning, etc to help me along....
A-ha! Liver! Makes perfect sense! The bum in my ribs is one thousand times more annoying when it's on the right than on the left. Good one starry star!
And, junglemum, believe it or not, DH is a scientist. Obviously not the anatomical kind.
No idea so will just agree with everyone else as a cover for stalking you! Had a sudden scary thought that you were actually due October 28!!
Your DH can't really be serious can he? Hope your bub (was SO about to say he (!)) moves back so you can get comfy soon. I was absolutely obsessed with positioning with DS, but for some reason everything i knew about it (and everything else i ever knew) completely disappeared as soon as he was born
