Anyone ever have a FACE UP baby?

My DS was sunny side up. Somehow they found out while I was in labor (don't know how, they didn't ultrasound or anything). The nurse had me labor in a couple different positions. I didn't hear any more about it and I gave birth vaginally no problem... I don't really know a lot about it though bc no one acted like it was a big deal.

and p.s. i dont think your dr knows what he's talking about. you probably arent going into labor bc it isnt time yet. Lots of women have braxton hicks contractions at 36 weeks. very normal. is your dr pushing you for a C-section?

DS was face up and he ended up being 11 days late. I started having contractions around 6 am. I was in labor all day. They broke my water and he arrived at 4 pm. They tried to turn him three times while pushing and finally used the vacuum to turn and pull. He was pretty swollen and bruised after labor.

I was induced -38 hours labor and 3 hours to push. GET AN EXPIERENCED DOULA! A doula can help you do lunges to turn the baby around. My DD head was stuck so long she had this massive cone head she tore me bad.

My moms second was like that. She tore bad and said if he was her first she would have had her tubes tied then.

My DD was sunny side up and it made for some really painful back labor. When I was fully dilated, the doctor was able to flip her over, so she was delivered in an anterior position. It left an abrasion on her head, but she was otherwise fine.

Oh no he's not I have severe high Bp and he was talking about inducing and I go every week for NST's and it shows up my contractions but only dilated to a 1 so he told me the cause was because he was face up. I rarely even feel them and think they are BH as well lol.
