Yeah the are saying my daughter is face up as well...I'm kind of thinking if she doesn't turn I'm going to tear...which scares the crap out of me lol....but I'm just looking for ways not to try or to lessen the tear...I'm a ftm so I know we are more likely to.

I didn't tear or get cut either. Not stitches here!! My lil man was 8 pounds 10 ounces and I got released from the hospital the next day. I came hone yesyerday and im cleaning and reorganizing stuff. I feel good. I was on my back for position. And I wasn't in labor too long..  less than 12 hrs. But real active labor with bad conteactions... only 4 hrs... once they broke my water the contractions became unbearable. :(

My sister was in labour for 4 hours. She had a natural birth and never tore or was cut and gave birth to a healthy 9.6 1/2 baby boy. She was on her back :-)
