If you are keen to avoid a c-section, then it may be a blessing that the ultrasound is being delayed. You are likely to be told at the scan that you are having a big baby, because this is what late scans often say, and may be pressured into a CS for that reason. My advice would be to try and encourage your baby into an anterior position by spending as much time as possible on your hands and knees. I used to watch TV whilst leaning forward on a footstool to try and encourage my babies not to flip back to back.

If you do go into labour with a posterior bub on board then try to avoid an epidural, to allow your ability to move naturally is how your baby will get into an anterior position. Water injections are supposedly excellent at relieving the back pain so often associated with a posterior labour whilst still allowing you to move and dance the way your body will tell you to.

Your body is very unlikely to make a baby that is too big for you to birth, so please don't worry about that. You got one good sized baby out, you can do it again
