Madam decided not to move since lunch time, which may not sound like much but her most active time is around 4PM-6PM so when it got to 8PM I called just to ask if I should be worried. She said that any change in pattern should be noted and if I'm concerned AT ALL to get it checked out. So off to the hospital I trotted to be told madam is fine but is now BACK TO BACK. Freakin' fabulous! As if that wasn't the tip of the iceburg the woman next to me was 37+2, had been in labour for an hour (with her first baby) and was 6CM dilated!!

Baby is fine though.

Of course, but I am quite worried about the whole back to back thing?

She has plenty of time to change position.. & lots of women give birth with their babies in that position anyway. At least she's not breech.. & at least she's healthy.

My daughter was born at 37 weeks & she was very small & jaundiced, she couldn't regulate her body temperature & she couldn't breastfeed. I wish I could have had her at 40 weeks.

I was back to back and the only thing that was wrong was I came out all bruised because of the contractions pushing on my face. My cousin's baby was also back to back and she said it just caused a little bit of backache and the doctors turned the baby during labour.

Try getting on your hands and knees twice a day for abotu 15 minutes. You want to make gravity work in putting the heaviest part of the baby forward, so when sitting, try to not to lean back and such.

Glad to hear she is doing well. I agree 37 +2 is way to early still.

They asked me if I'd been having backache and I havn't. I'm not entirely convinced they're right.. I will get my midwife to check on Tuesday.

Tyler was back to back and i still had a 2 hour labour all natural no stitches and no backache so it may not be a problem.

Connor was back to back and I didn't end up with any back labor, I mostly felt it deep in my pelvis. I was really freaked out about the whole posterior thing for nothing as he came down with pushes quite well.
