I had the most horrendous back labor w/ my DD b/c she was in the posterior position. After about 10 or 11 of my 12 hours in labor at the hospital she turned on her own, and i got almost immediate relief.

I like cayingo had a sunny side up DD
the doc turned her after 14 hours of back labor and she literally popped right out. I now have arthritis in my left hip from 14hours of labor. She had a cone head too, from laying in the birth canal for so long. The pictures of it did not give her cone head any justice.

My sister had a baby that was posterior.. the doctor came in and turned her, and my sis says that it was awesome relief. ~Kristin~

so the baby can be turned during labor, do you ladies know if there is anyway to try and get the baby to turn before labor begins? any exercises or anything?

I was told in my Labor class that the doctors or nurses will often have you do pelvic tilts during labor in order to help turn the baby. It's supposedly quite common for the baby to be faced that way up until delivery. Good Luck!!

It causes horrible terrible back pain but it is not usually a problem for the delivery medical-wise. Just really uncomfortable.
