Am 40 weeks today and baby is back to back. After successfully labouring in water and getting to 10cm dilation with my first on a midwifery led unit, I couldn't push her out (even after trying for 2.5hrs!) because she had a deflexed head and I think was also posterior. I had a long and painful latent labour and ended up with a section in the end. (to be clear, I am fine about that, it was the only way she was going to come out in the end).
I have been very positive up until now and looking forward to a VBAC. I am now disheartened that my baby has turned posterior (she was anterior at 36 weeks) and worried I will have a repeat performance. My back has been very sore the last couple of weeks and despite limping when I walk I am trying very hard to do all of the "right things" (no sitting on the sofa, no putting my feet up, rocking on all fours when possible, bouncing on a ball, staying active).
But today I am feeling really discouraged (and weepy). Must be the hormones...
Any words of encouragement from experienced ladies out there?
