EP98 | Posterior Birth
In this episode, I discuss the signs of a posterior birth & why it is just a variation of normal birth.
Do you know this secret about posterior birth?
It's a variation of normal - yetttttttt so many women have unnecessary disruption to their births.
YES - even in a homebirth you can get railroaded to transfer early because your birth isn't following the good old-fashioned "textbook" birth map!
Some things that are normal and can happen in posterior births:
Longer breaks in between contractions (following it's own pattern)
Pushing earlier in the birth every few contractions (this is not the classic "pushing stage" it's pushing your baby down and around into position to be born vaginally
Back pain and possible leg numbing (from babes head pushing on your nerves)
You can be fully dilated and still no baby for HOURS!!! (because the baby needs to come down low and turn around).
So you see the old "textbook" birth story isn't the only type of birth and we need to start normalising posterior births!
Have you had a posterior birth? Are you worried about one?
Enjoy this episode,
