Will they do a c section if baby is sunny side up?

Question

Nervous baby is head down but face up I'm almost 33 weeks so he has some time to turn around. I'm just nervous and couldn't find much from google

Answer

Being “sunny side up” is not a reason they will do a c-section.  It really just changes where you will feel labor (mostly your back) and it might take longer during the pushing stage.

Answer

No they won’t. My daughter was. Had back labor and it made it more difficult to push her out but it’s not a reason to do a c-section, unless the baby is in Distress

Answer

my son was in the perfect position until the day before delivery and he flipped. he was born sunnyside up and a bit off to one side. no c section needed just a bit Of back labor due to position

Answer

They turn the baby as you're pushing baby out. Had this happen twice. Didn't require a c-section but was some GOD AWFUL labor! 😂

Answer

I delivered my daughter sunny side it, it was rough. horrible back labor & LOTSSSSSSS of pushing. took way longer to get her out than it should have

Answer

My little guy was born sunny side up. It just took longer in the pushing stage. I progressed with dilation and effacement really quickly, so his position really didn't affect that part. I also didn't have the terrible back Labor some people have to deal with.
