I have to ask about this and remember to do pelvic tilts. I hate that it's harder to feel her movements with the anterior placenta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tip-for-all-anterior-placenta-mommas#post-350692 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:46:35 +0000 rachiecakes 350692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, why didn't I know this about a year ago??? hahaha </p> <p>@shopaholic: me too, girl.. not pleasant :/ I will say it did heal beautifully and you can't even see any scars outside - which is a miracle! it looked like franken-V when I first came home - but I do feel the scar tissue internally still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tip-for-all-anterior-placenta-mommas#post-350666 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:35:37 +0000 shopaholic 350666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites - Just wondering if the pelvic tilts helpednyou or not?

Makes for a not very nice labor.

I didn't know that sunny-side up babies tend to be more common with anterior placentas, so I will definitely be doing some of these. definitely do not want back labour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tip-for-all-anterior-placenta-mommas#post-47769 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:54:48 +0000 tequiero21 47769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>=( do i do that if i have 1 anterior and 1 posterior? lol. the anterior one is actually head down. it's the posterior one that's breech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tip-for-all-anterior-placenta-mommas#post-47766 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:41:07 +0000 SAHM0811 47766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This reminds me of a website I came across when I was prepping for baby 2.0's birth... It's dedicated to optimal fetal positioning during labor -- spinningbabies.com. You ladies should check it out if you haven't already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tip-for-all-anterior-placenta-mommas#post-47762 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:31:47 +0000 cyndistar3 47762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have an AP but I had my daughter sunny side up and that = me having back labor so I will definitely do this to try and save myself from that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tip-for-all-anterior-placenta-mommas#post-47747 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:17:10 +0000 runsyellowlites 47747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I am one of the lovely anterior placenta mommas! No worries though, I'm still good for my homebirth b/c my placenta does not look like it's formed right over my previous scar/imbedded (nerve racking to wait &amp; watch but thankful all is well).</p> <p>Well, meeting with my midwife today and talking about preparing for birthing (now entering week 28) she told me a GREAT tip to try an avoid a "sunny-side up" baby.</p> <p>She said that sunny-side up babies tend to be more common with anterior placentas b/c baby doesn't like to have their back along the placenta so they turn opposite of what they "should" (nice to know).</p> <p>Well she told me to start doing pelvic tilts while on all 4's (good ol cat/cow) and that as I get closer to having baby &amp; ESPECIALLY in EARLY labor, that will really help baby turn and save me from wonderful back labor.</p> <p>So.. I thought I'd share that b/c I know that there are a few other momma's out there that have anterior placentas =)</p> <p>Good day ladies </p>
