Little -or no so little anymore - Bean refuses to turn around properly. My little stargazer has his spine against my spine in a right occiput posterior position. This is the reason I've been having almost labor contractions for weeks but my cervix has not changed at all.
Doc said his head is in the wrong position so even though he pushes and pushes to get things going, he can't engage or thin out and shorted the cervix because his het does not fit properly. Sometimes I feel like my pelvic bones are being grounded against something and with his every move I am in quite some pain.
He also has his cord around his neck, but I've been told this is pretty common and not to worry about it as long as he's moving about. My OB said that from the look of things we might go in for a planned C section since he does not want to risk back labor AND a possible emergency c section. He does not recommend induction with my unripened cervix and his position.
To top things up I also have a spinal fusion and nobody wants to risk hurting my only 2 good-ish vertebrae if the baby is to come out this way.
Anyone even had a similar experience ? Did anyone start out with a baby "sunny side up" and a completely unripened cervix and have the baby rotate at some point ? I was very keen on going for a natural birth but now things seem a bit scary....
