How do I encourage a very posterior cervix forward?

That's about it really. How do I encourage a very posterior cervix forward?

Were it not for a very posterior cervix, my consultant feels that I would have gone into labour by now. He described my cervix as soft, stretchy and 1-2cm dilated. This is my first child. Three sweeps so far haven't achieved anything (two of which I'm thinking because the midwives simply didn't have long enough fingers!).

I'm half tempted to try getting somewhere near upside down so baby lifts off where she is at the moment and maybe resink more directly onto my cervix better.

Ooo, this could be my post! I'd also be interested in any answers. The only advice I've had is to keep active to try and 'bounce' baby down onto the cervix properly and to lean forwards - but I think the latter is because mine has gone back-to-back (baby, that is, not cervix!)

So frustrating isn't it, Elena67. The end is soooo near and yet, so far.

My little one doesn't appear to be posterior, although she's quite a "lazy" anterior if you get my drift. Hopefully contractions will push her round the last little bit. I hear that that can happen for back to backs too, Elena67, if that helps.

As for bouncing and staying active, I'm just sooooo shattered at the moment. Finding the fine line of between activity and wearing myself out before D-Day is proving difficult.
