At my 39.5 week appt last week, they told me they think the baby is “sunny side up” or in the occiput posterior position, or “facing up.”  Here’s a visual.  She could still rotate, and I am not sure they are even 100% that’s the position she’s in, but who knows.  I’m trying not to worry about it, as it means longer, more painful labor (read: more likely I’ll want an epidural), possible use of forceps, more chance of an episiotomy and they mentioned a higher rate of ending in a C-section than a baby who is not facing up.  Ugh – all of those things are things I want to avoid.  The weather is hot, hot, hot and I’ve been working from home for a week now.  I really didn’t want to be working at home for longer than a week, and after the false labor a week ago, I was sure she’d be here by now.  Well, she’ll come when she’s ready.
