    @LCTBQE: If it eases your fears my son had no ill effects from it. He did have some heart decels while I was laboring, but nothing overly concerning, it just meant they couldn't up my Pitocin. When he came out they were able to pull both loops up and over his head, it wasn't tight enough that it needed to be cut.

    @Mrs. Marshmallow: no clue if valid but one was anterior placenta and sunny side up/posterior baby, long long labor, all the meds, pain pain pain, ended in c-section.
    The other was not anterior placenta and easy out and fast (and med free VBAC).

    Posterior placenta, posterior baby. AWFUL, AWFUL labor - fast and furious, and AWFUL! (Water broke before it started, my theory is that only made it worse)

    I had both anterior and posterior placentas and a correctly positioned baby for both labors.

    I had an anterior placenta and the OB said he was sunny side up. I had a c section but it had to do with his heart rate, which sounded bad from the beginning of labor, not failure to progress.

    Baby #1 I had an anterior placenta. She she was a quick and easy birth with no complications.
    Baby #2 was a posterior placenta. Same kind of delivery, quick and easy, but the cord was wrapped around her neck 5 times ( which probably had nothing to do with placenta position)
