My DH just rubbed my lower back with counter pressure through each contraction. I also didn't have any drugs so it may not matter for you if you're planning an epidural 😄 luckily my dd turned while u was pushing so she eventually ended up in the right position 😜

Our beautiful little boy joined the world this morning, 7lb 4oz, 51cm long and healthy as can be. Pic and name to come after we settle and announce to family 
it was a long labour but he was a superstar the whole way through, never skipped a beat!

Congrats, Flossie! Happy to see another baby here.
Things have been going well here, just getting used to everything. We were having some bf frustrations, but my milk came on a couple feedings ago & things have been going well!
Surprised that I've also felt motivated and happy about doing light housework.

Flossie - Congratulations!! Can't wait to see a pic and hear his name!
Pink - Congratulations!! She is gorgeous! Sorry to hear about the vomiting. I had the same problem after my csection because they gave me morphine. I switched to tramadol and it was much easier for me to tolerate.
Baker - hopefully baby will flip back. I've read it can happen even right at the end of labor. At least now you know why you're having such bad pain!
Ja - glad to hear you are doing well. Breastfeeding is so challenging at first. Hang in there, get support from a lactation consultant if needed, and know that it does get easier. It's a learning process for both mom and baby.

Flossie: congratulations!!! Can't wait to see your beautiful boy!
Pink: Congratulations!! She is so lovely!
Ja; breastfeeding is definitely a learning game! Take advantage of the lc as they are great! I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time!
Afm laid in a "Turing position " last night and holy moly the baby did some painful things, still don't think the baby is flipped but at least there was movement!

I have a little girl❤
She was born on the 5th, after a roughly 7 and a half minute labour where daddy had to deliver her himself as it all happened so quickly.

Cookie - wow that is amazing! Congratulations!
Baker - that would be cool if Samuel is right our babies would be born on the same day!
AFM - I'm scheduled for my c-section this Thursday at 10am. I'm hoping my baby will have turned by then to either regular breech or head down so that I can have a normal horizontal csection incision instead of the classic vertical incision which comes with more complications. He is transverse right now and sunny side up. I've been working on getting him to move and I thought I felt him doing some acrobatics today so I'll find out on Tuesday if it worked. Fingers crossed! DH and I have been finishing up the last few things on our list to get done before Thursday. I just need to wash the baby bottles, my breast pump parts, and the baby's going home outfit and I'm all set.
What outfit are you all bringing your baby home in? DH thinks it's weird that I have a special outfit picked out lol. I had one for my DD too that I put away as a keepsake for her.

Em, i bought a special outfit one boy one girl for coming home! Definitely a momma thing... my dh thinks it was funny as well! 
I hope your little one decides to cooperate! Im sure your already doing lots of crawling, and yoga ball hip circles! i did read today about someone getting their baby into a better position by putting music on their tailbone b/c their baby was sunny side up... so maybe that would help you?
