Posterior baby?

Question

I am 40 +5 and found out today my baby is in posterior position. I have been having a lot of false labor. Its like she has been ready to come out but cant because she is facing the wrong way. My induction was scheduled for March 10th but i really really want a natural birth. Any tips on how to get her to rotate or how to assist her in moving down my pelvis when i am having contractions?

Answer

BTW-my posterior was born today! Vaginally! Its possible, use a peanut ball, lay on your side!

Answer

I had the same issue and I went on you tube and searched up exercises that you can do. I went back to the doctors the following week and he moved back into the correct position. Going on all hands and knees and swaying back and forth helps.

Answer

Do everything you can to not lay down in bed! I delivered on all 4s this time and I think baby girl was face up til the last minute. My first was face up but I was stuck in bed and it took forever to get her out. Laying down is the worst for a posterior baby

Answer

I’m 40+2 and found out at 37 weeks babe was posterior. I have tried WVERYTHING to get her to pivot. Inversions, pelvic tilts, hands and knees cat/cow, hip rolls, Miles circuit and chiropractor and she’s STILL sunny side up! I also have false labor, contractions that are sometimes painful but I can go hours between them and horrible back pain and I too and convinced she’s ready but unable to engage because of position. I’m beginning to feel defeated and not sure what else to do. I did read that 90% of babies who start off in posterior during labor will turn while in labor sometimes just as pushing. Good luck!

Answer

I delivered posterior and the back pain was awful!! I recommend using an exercise ball to stretch out your pelvic region. You can also try leaning over a table/bed/counter to attempt to turn the baby with gravity. Best of luck momma!

Answer

Hang in there 🙏🏼 do some spinning babies exercises. And a mantra for your peace of mind: “My baby is in the perfect position for a natural, vaginal birth.” 
Repeat that to yourself all day and while you do your exercises. Your baby can hear you. And if they don’t move it’s for a reason such as placenta placement, cord length etc. we have to trust that our babies know what they’re doing and they WILL come.

Answer

Check out spinning babies! Cat / cow position can help.
