Posterior Labours (Back Labours)

If your baby is turned around with his or her back towards your spine, that's called a "posterior" position. This positioning of the baby can cause labour to take longer than usual as the baby usually must turn around before moving down. It can also cause back pain ("back labour"). Read about how women have coped with this situation, and how a trained labour supporter can help with special techniques to help the baby to turn faster.


Harlinah's story
After a very long posterior labour, Harlinah had her first child with the support of her husband and two doulas.


Kara's story (Avery's birth)
Kara was planning a vaginal birth after a caesarean (VBAC) for her second baby, but experienced complications during labour and had a repeat caesarean birth. This time, however, her caesarean was a far more positive experience.
