OMG - how awful for you- good thing that there is an awesome outcome after all this pain!! I heard that those labor or exercise balls are good. Have you tried one of those? Are they at all concerned about distress to the baby?
Good Luck to you and hopefully things will pick up speed!!

Sometimes rocking on your hands and knees will get the baby to turn. I feel your pain, my daughter was in the same position and I had to push her all the way out like that, because she refused to turn. I'll be thinking of you.

I feel your pain I went into the hospital on Monday night my contractions were 4mins apart but they had us there from 1:30am -5:30am they sent me home because I'm not dilating anymore. I went back to the doc's office on Tuesday afternoon and they said that nothing has changed. I've been to the doc weds-thurs and still haven't changed any the only thing that keeps changing is me B/P it keeps going up so If I don't have her by Monday they are going to take her for me I am only 37wks. And this is my 2nd one.
