If one baby is anterior, and one posterior, does that mean..

[MamaChris]

Am expecting twins. If one baby is anterior (the lower one, so the one who will be born first), and one posterior, does that mean it will be a difficult (back to back) labour or not? I know baby two has time/space to change positions after baby one is born, but will his position during labour make things harder, or not?

Theres some stuff about this on Spinning Babies www.spinningbabies.com/techniques/in-pregnancy/twin-pregnancy
I did Rebozo sifting and inversions with my Twins client right up to early labour (40+4 I think)
Not sure of babies positions,, but both head down and it was a quick easy (easy for me to say lol!) labour.

No, it is the position of the first twin that will affect your progress in labour. If the leading twin is in an anterior position it will have a well fitting head that will encourage regular contractions and dilation, the position of the second twin is pretty much irrelevant until the first twin is delivered, and at that stage the midwife will be more interested in ensuring that baby stays cephalic!

good news malteser, thanks
