It is said that in days of old posterior births were unusual - probably due to the poor posture most of us have and use due to our furniture and lifestyle.
Childrens little chairs are excellent for optimal fetal positioning. Sit on them rather than a sofa. Sofas are your enemy right now! They encourage the baby to sit in a posterior position.
Hands and knees scrubbing the floor is what our grandmothers or great grandmothers did - and it does encourage great position... Don't scrub but use a bean bag under your belly for extra comfort on a hands and knees position.
No more sitting on the sofa - it's only for a few weeks!!!!
LOL Flowerchild, I'm feeling so guilty because I just sat down on our couch with a donut and read your post . I'm gonna miss this seat! Thanks so much for your suggestions, great idea about the kids chairs. They're so uncomfortable though! Oh the things we do for our kids...
Hiya Trish,
Just a tip that if you do find a bean bag and try it, make sure DH is around to help you up and out of it. I did it the other night once the kids had gone to bed and got completely stuck!!! I didn't have enough arm strength to push myself up and I couldn't roll either one way or the other. It was funny once I was up but if DH was on a night shift I'd still have been there in the morning!. Takecare Missy
Hopefully she turns for you Trish It's a good thing you know now so you may be able to change it.... I didn't know DD was posterior until she decided the day I went into labour to go posterior....
All the best for your labour and birth, I can't wait to hear the news!!!!
futuremum - I have just sat down in a very inappropriate arm-chair and you are making me feel very guilty . But I promise it's the first time I've sat down all day, I have spent the entire day washing all of our windows inside and out so I reckon I deserve a comfy chair for 5 minutes LOL!
I had my MW appt yesterday and bubs is also posterier so let me know if anything actually works to get them to move. I had a dreadful night last night and nearly went to the hospital due to the pain.
I was in bed and at 9pm I started having horrible pubic pains wrapping around to my back but it was all due to his movements not contracrions. He was absolutely crazy till about 1am and I lay in bed crying for hours as it was so painful. When I rang my MW this morning she asked me what I'd had for dinner..when I replied spaghetti on toast (I was knackered and couldn't be bothered cooking) she said that the (tinned) spaghetti sauce would have had alot of sugar in it and would have cause junior to have a sugar rush????. I don't know what to think but all I know is the pain felt worse than my past labours and all my confidence about being able to give birth pain relief free again this time has gone out the window. It's like a switch has been switched and I'm sooooooo over it. My hemroid problem is improving but now my butts bleeding for no reason, I just sick to death of everything to be honest and everything seems to make me cry. Now I'm almost too scared to go to bed tonight incase it all starts again.. silly I know but this pregnancy is just so different and more difficult than my others.
Sorry for the vent, it just all came pouring out.
I hope you are coping better with everything.. not long to go for you YAY!!!!
Takecare, thanks for listening
Cheers Missy
