My DS was also posterior & did not engage until my waters broke, at which point I was already in hospital at 8cm dilation. Which is exactly what my midwife had said would happen!
So please don't worry that this means you won't go into labour naturally. It's quite normal! Good luck!
My DD was posterior at my last appointment (Wednesday) and I was booking into be induced due to PE on the Sunday. My ob said the same thing, labour was probably not getting off the ground because of DD being posterior. I remember feeling the same as you have described.
Good news was that when I went in to have the gels inserted she had turned and we were all ready to go! I had one session of acupuncture on the Friday, not sure if that got her moving or she just got into position herself, but just wanted to say there is still time for your little one to turn around.
