EP98 | Posterior Birth

<p>In this episode, I discuss the signs of a posterior birth &amp; why it is just a variation of normal birth.</p> <p>Do you know this secret about posterior birth? </p> <p>It&#39;s a variation of normal - yetttttttt so many women have unnecessary disruption to their births. </p> <p>YES - even in a homebirth you can get railroaded to transfer early because your birth isn&#39;t following the good old-fashioned &quot;textbook&quot; birth map! </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Some things that are normal and can happen in posterior births:</strong></p> <ol> <li><p>Longer breaks in between contractions (following it&#39;s own pattern)</p> </li> <li><p>Pushing earlier in the birth every few contractions (this is not the classic &quot;pushing stage&quot; it&#39;s pushing your baby down and around into position to be born vaginally</p> </li> <li><p>Back pain and possible leg numbing (from babes head pushing on your nerves)</p> </li> <li><p>You can be fully dilated and still no baby for HOURS!!! (because the baby needs to come down low and turn around).</p> </li> </ol> <p><br></p> <p>So you see the old &quot;textbook&quot; birth story isn&#39;t the only type of birth and we need to start normalising posterior births! </p> <p><br></p> <p>Have you had a posterior birth?
