I didn't have a posterior baby, but was advised in my birthing cla__s to avoid back leaning positions (aka reclining on the couch and such) for 6 weeks prior to birth. They also recommended doing the pelvic tilts and spending time on your hands and knees. I would ask your dr. if he has any other good ideas on encouraging your little one to turn into the proper position. Hope that helps a bit.

I did have a posterior baby and did not realize it until I was in hard labor. The doctors had me on all fours rocking back and forth and had me in all different kind of positions to get him to turn and he never did turn on his own. I had extreme back labor because of this as well. Anyway, the doctor had to manually go up there and turn him and that was the most painful part of labor for me.

i had my 38 week appointment today and doc said the baby is posterior. i was hoping to have a normal labour but looks like i'll have to be induced cos babies head doesn't want to engage. due date is only 2 weeks away so i'll try the on all fours thing and hope for the best.

mine was posterior and i had horrible back labor too. pelvic tilts are excellent i've heard, although i didn't know he was posterior till i went into labor so i never tried! i've heard a birthing ball works good to engage teh head too. do all you can to avoid that back labor! ouch!

My son was posterior and nothing would get him to move, i tried everything, sitting backwards on a chair, birthing ball and crawling on all fours. At 42 week I went into labour. It was a hard labour resulting in forceps. But don't worry, what happens, happens. Some turn in labour, mine didn't but I have an android pelvic to.
