Still Not Engaging.

*lurking*

My second baby was still 'floating' when i was 4 cm and in labour at the hospital. He was born very quickly 1.5 hours later.

Good luck!

Been trying natural methods. Nothing happening apart from a few cramps and alot of movement on jb behalf, i get excited like things may be coming on and it stops.
I hope jb decides to just turn around and get it's head down ready to go at the last minute. That would be really nice.

Still plenty of time to go. Bub is head down isn't he, just in posterior position? Yes, posterior labours hurt like hell (both my girls were) but you can achieve a drug free vaginal delivery even with a posterior baby. I did with Emily. Hang in there and be confident in yourself that you, and your baby can do this.

Jodi, Jellybean is head down but not engaging. I've tried everything i've heard of to get Jb to turn but nothing.

Some babies are just stubborn and no matter what you do, they won't turn from being posterior (that was Emily). Like I said before, you can have a natural delivery with a posterior baby. There are some threads on BB about this. Here is one https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-can-done.html

HE"S HERE!

Hi guys i gave birth to David Jonathan at 3:08am Friday 5th September.

Had a vaginal birth he came out facing the right way.
Ob used ventouse just to stop bubba slipping back in after i'd pushed him out a bit
and apart from that and some pethadine that had worn off by delivery it was natrual.
The Birth i'd wanted.

Thanks guys for all your support and great advise
