Back labour for second child too?

[Heatherm4]

For the ladies that have had more than 1 child! If you've had back labour with your first....are you for sure destined to have back labour with your second child or more.

I had a complete unmedicated birth with my first and wanted to go through it the same way but the worst part of the whole thing was the back labour. Just prepping myself! LOL

Thanks that is helpful. I never really knew what position he was in really when I was in labour. The back labour KILLS!! I'm surprised I was able to get through it but it worries me for my next one!

backache labour is due to babys positioning during the labour, his back would have beed alined with your back in a postierior position, you can halp your baby move into the right position for labour in simple ways, one good way is when sitting to always make sure your pelvis is tilted forward with you having a straight back, never lie back on the couch etc as this encourages baby into the postierior position, you will find other methods on the internet to help get baby into the anterior position for birth :)
