For the last couple of weeks (since 37 wks) my baby has been back-to-back (latest record says ROL). I had what seemed to me to be a very long labour (>30 hrs including very frequent 'pre-labour' contractions) with my first, who was well presented. Am terrified about birth with a back-to-back baby - especially being long, erratic and back-ache (which I was SO relevied not to feel with the first), and wanting more pain releif and it all going pear-shaped.
Any reassurance would be great. My MW is very happy with everything, and we are planning a homebirth - which I am still keen for, as I don't want to spend ages labouring in hospital again.
I've got myself all worked up, and need to calm down and feel confident again!
Many thanks, SF
p.s. suggestions to encorage the blighter to turn back also welcome
