Thank you, anterior placenta. When are you due? Can you ask for an ultrasound when you go to L&amp;D? If you can move around during labor, you may be able to flip your LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-does-anterior-placenta-back-labor#post-167970 Thu, 24 May 2012 15:58:27 +0000 runsyellowlites 167970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is more common with an anterior placenta for baby to be facing sunny-side up BUT laboring on your back is an even bigger contributor. </p> <p>I had an anterior placenta &amp; had only 2 contractions out of my 2 days worth that I felt in my back. I spent my last few weeks of pregnancy doing alot of cat/cow &amp; the moment I felt the back contraction start you better believe I was back in hands &amp; knees! lol (letting your tummy "hang" will promote baby turning anterior) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-does-anterior-placenta-back-labor#post-167891 Thu, 24 May 2012 15:10:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 167891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anterior and no back labor </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-does-anterior-placenta-back-labor#post-162651 Fri, 18 May 2012 09:11:26 +0000 Downward Dog 162651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had anterior placenta but no back labor. My baby was not posterior. I was really interested (maybe a little obsessive) about baby positioning and did lots of yoga and stuff to try to get the baby in a good position. I followed a lot of the advice on the spinning babies website, although I hesitate to recommend the website 100% because it really stressed me out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-does-anterior-placenta-back-labor#post-162606 Fri, 18 May 2012 08:41:49 +0000 Nskillet 162606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-does-anterior-placenta-back-labor#post-162585 Fri, 18 May 2012 08:21:40 +0000 His Barista 162585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have back labor.

Don't worry about it! If the baby is facing the proper way, you probably won't get back labor. At least that's what I've been told. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-does-anterior-placenta-back-labor#post-161874 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:11:41 +0000 pastemoo 161874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an anterior placenta--but currently baby is facing my spine... so hopefully he stays that way and doesn't cause any back labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-does-anterior-placenta-back-labor#post-161794 Thu, 17 May 2012 17:01:00 +0000 cvbee 161794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an anterior placenta and had back labour.

From what I've heard back labor can happen when the baby is face up, which can happen often with an anterior placenta. Luckily my baby was face down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-does-anterior-placenta-back-labor#post-161746 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:15:31 +0000 cyndistar3 161746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first lo I had an anterior placenta and experienced back labor which wasn't so bad when someone applied pressure to my lower back :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-does-anterior-placenta-back-labor#post-161744 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:14:27 +0000 Honeybee 161744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an anterior placenta with DD and did not have back labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-does-anterior-placenta-back-labor#post-161742 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:11:51 +0000 HLK208 161742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What was your experience? I didn't have back labor with baby #1 and I had posterior placenta...<br /> But this time I plan to go pain-med free and I have anterior placenta so I'm scared that I may have back labor and if I do...I'll most likely get the epidural!<br /> Does anyone know if there is correlation between labor difficulty and position of the placenta? </p>
