May be b/c these moms were all preparing for a natural birth to begin with though.</p> <p>Cat/Cow is DEFINITELY good &amp; my midwife told me that the weeks leading up to birth AND REALLY in EARLY labor are when it's most effective!</p> <p>Hope she turns soon.... Oh also stairs help baby get into proper position too =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-posterior-baby#post-72679 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:26:24 +0000 mrsjazz 72679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: Going for a water birth at a birthing center. I've got a doula, too. But I just heard posterior means longer/harder labor, especially for first-time moms. So, I'm a little scared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-posterior-baby#post-72678 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:23:14 +0000 cyndistar3 72678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: My doula was able to put the right amount of pressure on my liwer back to make it feel better and the birthing tub helped a ton too! Idk what kind of birth you are having but those two things helped me so much, hopefully you just dont have to deal with it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-posterior-baby#post-72675 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:10:14 +0000 mrsjazz 72675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: Yeah--I'm afraid of back labor! I've been singing "Turn, baby, turn" (think Disco Inferno), I hope she listens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-posterior-baby#post-72673 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:06:29 +0000 banana 72673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops.

I've been doing cat/cow and being on my hands and knees more often so that she can move (I'm almost 32 weeks so she still has time to move).</p> <p>But I wanted to know if any of you have delivered a posterior baby and what your birthing experience was like. </p>
