I did a little research on this.  It should not have any effect on labor.  Supposedly it is supposed to move into a more anterior position as you near labor.  Maybe baby isn't done cooking yet.  Good luck, hopefully at your next appointment it will be in a more anterior position and then they can induce.  I hope that size doesn't become an issue and that if it hasn't moved forward yet that you still have the ability to wait so u don't have to have a c section.  Hope u get to see your baby soon.

I agree with kennedy that is a toughie. I have never heard anything about a postierior cervix. Best of Luck
