My son was born posterior at 38 weeks. They didn't tell me he was posterior before labour, so I didn't look it up, lol


My labour started on the Thursday about 3pm and I was having contractions every ten minutes until Saturday when my labour intensified in my ba ck and I went to hospital, I was only 2cm dilated then and they sent me home, they still didn't say he was posterior, I laboured at home until 2am sunday ( Saturday night) when we went back to hospital as the pain was too much ... I was still only 4cm dilated but had gas and air until I progressed further.

By 10.15am I was ready to push and had been having contractions every two minutes so I was exhausted by then, and in a lot of pain, which I didn't know was because of bubs position.....

He was born at 10.38am and they didnt realize until he crowned.... I was in the right position though and hubby delivered him no problems....


I didn't know until later when MIL actually explained what way he was facing etc.

I had several stitches, but I'm not sure whether that had anything do with it....

Posterior births are usually longer labors and the pain is mostly in the back, other than that I had a great natural birth.
Best of luck !!!
