Is it possible to turn a posterior bub once engaged?

[Nelle]

#1 was engaged and posterior at my appt the day before he was born, and while it was a waterbirth and hard to see, I don't think he was born posterior.

My DD was born in the posterior postion and it was the most painful thing i have ever experienced and so i am not surprised that she is quite upset about hearing the news. I really hope she can get the baby to turn before she goes into labour.

Sort of. Mine did, but he kind of popped out, turned and then was engaged again.
But lots tur naturally as they go thru the birth canal
IT is a lot more likely in a second labour also as theres more room, also do you know how big her first baby was?
I was told because my first bub was above average size, thered be even more room (midwife left me feeling like i could park a car in there lol)

DD turned posterior for about 2 hours in labour then turned back omg my back was killing me its was when they broke my waters then she turned back and i was pushing the pain was right down in my front that was weird

DD was 2/5 engaged and posterior at my checkup a few days before I went into spontaneous labour. She changed her position A LOT during labour but chose posterior as her final position. She ended up getting stuck so my OB turned before a vacuum delivery.

So to answer your question, a baby's position can change even during active labour and there really isn't much your friend can do but labouring on all fours may help

She can try the polar bear position, and there is a trick where you rub the tummy with long firm strokes to turn the baby, and then there is a trick where the women goes on all fours, have someone stand above her with a towel around her belly and rub it back and forth. Try googling them perhaps. They can all work, but I found that the monitoring during labour to be the worst thing. I was being put on for ten minutes every hour as a compromise (I was a VBAC) and I could feel bub turning possy to get away from the sensors and then he'd spend then next 50 minutes turning back around to only be assaulted with the monitors again. In the end I had to go hide in the shower to dilate with some choice words for the middies if they suggested I get out to be monitored.
