My midwife has just come to my house to have a check now I am 39 weeks and what she said has really worried me. DB is posterior, which I have known for weeks now, as was dd, who didn't turn during labour (I managed to push her out just before they were going to ventouse). The midwife has said because the baby is still so active and only 1/5 of the head is engaged I will be given a scan when I go into labour to assess his position (she spent a long time feeling my tummy today and I don't think she was confident about what she could feel) I am really worried that this will lead to more intervention than I would like. I obviouisly want to know everything is ok, but I don't want lots of unnecessary interference. Dd was induced so I was on my back being monitored the whole time which I think is why she didn't turn. The thing I am most worreid about is having a cesarean - I have no reason to think that I will have one but the prospect of it really scares me Obviously if I have to be induced again I will expect more intervention but otherwise I really want the midwives to be as hands off as possible.
