    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!!!!

    Missya! I will definitely remember that one LOL!

    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!

    Thanks Ren . Ouch at your DD being posterior

    Hiya Trish,

    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

    Oh Missy , you poor love. You sound like you're in agony . Last night must have been terrible. I hope tonight is much better for you. It's so hard when you're going through all of that and having to wait around for your bub to arrive . I hope your little one arrives really soon to give you a bit of relief.

    I have another midwife appointment on Thursday night so it will be interesting to find out where bub is positioned. I feel kicks on either side all day long so I think she actually spins around a fair bit! I have been sitting forward as much as possible and trying the other positions suggested, hopefully they are helping

    More hugs for you Missy .

    Interesting thread and must say after having a posterior baby, it makes sense.

    Every seat in my house meant my knees were higher than my hips and I always sat with my legs crossed.

    I'll know better if there's a next time!!!
