I think I had back labor, ended up w/ a c section so don't know which way he was facing.
It felt like bad low back pain that didn't go away even in between contractions. It was not fun! I hope you don't have back labor or are able to get pain meds if you do! good luck

I had back labor. OMFG it hurt. I had 2ppl pushing w/ their thumbs very strategically to help during contractions. My LO was trying to come out forehead first. I also had a csection

Congrats Lucky! Missed your birth announcement last visit.

Well im sitting in the hospital bed right now. Went form 1 cm to 3 cm and 60% effaced in 5 hours. Having lots of contractions but they only make my back ache. Still shooting for no pain meds but everyone is certain I will change my mind.

Im so ready to get out of the freaking hospital.

i hope things go quick jna- stay strong! that baby cant stay in there forever.

my 4th baby tried to come out sideways. every contraction they made me push even though they knew he couldnt come out til he turned face up or down. i begged the dr to reach in and turn him, was the most painful labor i have ever had. they laughed and said they couldnt turn him. every contraction i pushed his head against my pelvic bones, it was horrible. i finally prayed that Jesus would turn his head for me. he came out as i was still praying.

Well the Dr thinks it'd be best for me to be induced on Monday because of my AFI levels.
Maybe I'll go into labor on my own before then. I really hope I do.

 

[MissFox]

Good luck! Hope you go before then too!!!

16 hours of painful labor and 1 long 2nd degree tear later I had Kaliyah weighing 9lbs 3oz 20 inches long. She is the sweetest little girl. She was stunned by birth and didnt cry until 8 minutes after she came out. That was pretty horrific but all is well and im so in love. I will post birth story when I get home tomorrow

 

[southerngal2]

[blessedmomma]
