Kyle was posterior. PLEASE move that baby, that is NO FUN AT ALL, let me tell ya. He was in that position for weeks, but my DR was a dork and kept going "Oh, he'll move when it's time!" but of course he was not inclined to do so.
When I was in labor, they even reached in and tried to make him move, but he wasn't having it, lol. I don't know if your midwife suggested it, but they told me that if you get on your hands and knees and rock, it can make them move. It's just that for me it was a little bit too late, lol.

I found a website last night that talked about moving posterior babies, and they did suggest the getting-on-all-fours thing. My midwife did tell me that too, so I will give it a go.

Thank you! Poor Bek was sick yesterday, AND she had exams at school, lol. Day off today though because there is a teachers strike. Again.

If the head is engaging, you are quickly running out of time to get Bub to turn. Once the head is engaged, they dont turn. You must look like aliens are trying to burst out of you, lol.

I do look like aliens are trying to burst out of me lol. Courtney had her hand on my stomach the other night when it was going mental and it freaked her out hehehe. Poor thing always thinks that its hurting me (I tell her its not but sometimes it SO DOES). The head crashing into my cervix really needs to stop.
