36 weeks with DC2 and was planning on a homebirth. DC1 very easy, straightforward 4 hour labour, no tears etc. so thought a hb this time would be a wise move time-wise and be lovely.
However yesterday midwife said baby is 2/5 engaged (3/5 palpable) and currently back to back. She has advised me to try and move him/her and warned that my labour this time may be longer and more painful.
Any experiences? Now wondering if hospital may be a safer bet in case I need any intervention.
