I also had wicked back pain all through pregnancy though, so that might have had something to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617373 Tue, 06 May 2014 18:38:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 1617373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sunny side up with E! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617370 Tue, 06 May 2014 18:37:53 +0000 Greentea 1617370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bad luck?

I have no idea why but it was on the list of reasons to schedule a c section with M. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617298 Tue, 06 May 2014 17:43:29 +0000 jedeve 1617298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ScarletBegonia: haha - I hated my anesthesiologist. He kept trying to explain to me why my epidural wasn't working, and I think wanted me to tell him "it's okay, no sweat!" I just wanted him to leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617280 Tue, 06 May 2014 17:29:48 +0000 skipra 1617280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea because DS was in the perfect position and small and still I had back labor until I gave up and got the epidural. I had a lot of lower back pain while pregnant so maybe just anatomy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617237 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:48:20 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1617237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My anaesthesiologist (aka my saviour and the man I truly love, who gave me an epidural after 10 hrs back labour &amp; 1 hr pushing through back labour) told me that because of my preexisting back issues (multiple slipped discs &amp; muscle issues), I probably would have felt the pain there no matter what, as the nerves there are sensitised to pain already. Who knows if that's true!? All I know is he took the pain away!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617225 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:40:34 +0000 googly-eyes 1617225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsHotDog: @grizz: @swurlygurl: @LovelyPlum: lol, the devil... Sounds about right but I have nothing to compare it to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617196 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:30:42 +0000 illumina 1617196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know that a sunny side up baby could cause back labour! LO was that way around right until the last minute before I started pushing and my back labour was awful. I've always had back ovulation/period pain though so figured that was normal for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617188 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:25:49 +0000 LuLu Mom 1617188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was from a large sunny side up baby (who got stuck...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617187 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:25:47 +0000 coopsmama 1617187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS wasn't sunny side up but I has horrible back labor. It was awful. :( I'm expecting the same for this one regardless of position. I think some women just labor that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617178 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:22:57 +0000 LovelyPlum 1617178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: @MrsHotDog: @swurlygurl: yep, Satan :silly: </p> <p>LO wasn't sunny side up, but most of my labor was back labor. Serious thumbs down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617152 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:11:18 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1617152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think your own anatomy and how the baby is positioned in your body attributes to it, too.</p> <p>I had back labor twice because both of my babies were posterior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617111 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:53:22 +0000 swurlygurl 1617111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsHotDog: I was going to reply 'the devil' TOO!!! :silly: </p> <p>My baby was sunny side up. Oh the back labor, it was so bad. I was trying to crawl out of my skin. I had cervidil in, so I couldn't even get up to move or walk around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617110 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:52:49 +0000 Boheme 1617110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Satan?<br /> Mine was a double whammy - sunny side up baby, who also engaged in an asynclitic super crooked position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617109 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:52:45 +0000 bhbee 1617109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had back labor but my baby was faced the right way. I think it can also be a result of baby's position otherwise. LO was born with a slight shoulder dystocia (meaning her shoulder got stuck on the way out, they had to reach in and fix it once her head was out) and I think something about that position made labor very long and painful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617081 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:43:13 +0000 MrsHotDog 1617081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The devil...well, that was my first thought. Other than that, I thought it just had to do with the baby being sunny side up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617075 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:41:50 +0000 jedeve 1617075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a sunny side up baby (who rotated and came out sideways at the last second) and had some pretty bad back labor. I hear it's common to get again once you had it once...bah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-causes-back-labor#post-1617063 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:39:53 +0000 googly-eyes 1617063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Besides a sunny side up baby?</p> <p>My mom said she had it with both of her births. So far I only have 1 LO (who was sunny side up, according to dh) and I had pretty much all back labor. Wondering if that was the only reason..</p> <p>Stories anyone? </p>
