Hi, advice from those who know more appreciated
ds2 to be is currently ROA at 33 weeks. I have a 'high anterior' placenta but MW couldn't tell me what side it was on and didn't think it mattered. DS1 started out that way too but turned to LOA at 29 weeks.
I have heard that ROA is not actually a good position to start labour with and the baby may end up OP, or have to turn through that position to get to LOA, which presumably is more painful? The midwife swore blind to me that wasn't true.
She also said if there's a lot of room in the pelvis (and apparently mine is huge) they find it easier to do any sort of turns they want during labour & the mother's pain is less.
Am now confused & concerned that my easy labour with DS1 might have been my last...
