Am 38+2 and been told by the midwife that the baby is back to back (would explain the awful backache I've had for the last week!). I've talked to the mw, been to spinningbabies and am doing all the leaning, bouncing and definitely-not-slouching I can.... and I know it's not unusual for babies to correct themselves in the last few weeks or during the early part of labour, but I'm scared! I know that sounds silly, but my mum had an excruciating labour with me (I was back to back) and it's been the one thing I've been really worried about. Now it's happened and I'm actually starting to feel anxious about the birth for the first time - that it might be slower and more painful than I can manage (had been hoping for a home birth too - although quite relaxed and realistic about switching to hospital as I'm a FTM).
Could anyone tell me some positive stories about b-2-b labours that weren't terrible, or babies turning in the last few days, or magic tricks that worked for you to turn your LOs?
Or just tell me to pull myself together - I know it's not the end of the world!
