Baby laying with his/her back on my left

I've read about back to back labours but I'm not sure what it means if they're lying sideways. Following a scan to check position (suspected breech) it turns out that this little one is head down with his/her back on my left and feet over to my right. I'm 39 weeks. Anyone know: is this good/ bad/ indifferent?

I'm no expert, but I thought that was pretty ideal positioning?

Seems to imply it's okay here.

it could be marketed over christmas with the estate agent asked not to book viewings between 23rd and 27th?

LOA is ideal (as you have read) and as my consultant said when mine was that way "don't hang around too long at home" :)

My DS was that way. Didn't seem to make the birth any more difficult or painful, midwife said it probably made it more painful for me but I didn't have anything to compare it to!

My baby is back to back still I think. I'm jealous of you LOA baby!

Good luck with the labour.

I think they can turn any time up to and even during labour so don't despair! Good luck!
