How do you know if baby's back to back??

[goddess25]

Good question I have thought about this too, I was guessing more back pain than normal and I know that the back labour is supposed to be pretty brutal but dont know in terms of baby positioning. I can't really tell what I am feeling this time around since I have the anterior placenta it has to be super obvious.

my baby went back to back and I labored for a very long time without an epidural....it's not too bad ladies. It'll be over one way or another, and you'll have a beautiful baby. Some of them are just sunny side up

I am sooooooo glad to hear this

hehe! I have a genetic condition that made my body not dilate correctly so that was most of why my labor was so long! I made it to 7cm with no pain medication whatsoever, but I ended up getting the epi just so I could sleep!
When I pushed her out I had very little epi left in my system, and she came out facing up...it really wasn't that bad! It's over before you know it!
The good news is, no bump pain! My entire labor pain was in my back, which I think I prefer over in my belly. I hate cramps and I'd take a back ache any day!
