[quote=Anonymous]I have a great posterior cervix story!

My midwife checked me at 38 weeks, 5 days, and I was 2cm, 80% effaced, baby at zero station, cervix soft and stretchy--but she had to reach so far inside me, I couldn't believe it.  She said my cervix was completely tucked behind her head.  I was so disappointed, but then my doula said to think of it like a bow pulled back, because she had seen many mothers snap into labor, no problem, after just such a position.  I took great comfort in her words.

The next day, I had red show, but no contractions.  That night, I woke up, not to a contraction, but to a feeling like THWAP, of a sudden shift.  I started having erratic, painless contractions, but I called my midwife to check me at 3AM.  She arrived at 3:30, and announced the baby was at +1, cervix anterior and paper thin...and I was 7 centimeters!!  I had not felt even the slightest discomfort--we were laughing and joking quietly the whole time.  My husband couldn't believe it.

I went on to have a completely painless labor, and gently pushed her out in two pushes into her Daddy's hands a couple relaxed hours later, as the sun rose.  I'm still on a high from that gorgeous birth.  I wish I could do it every day.

Try taking calcium LACTATE...it's just a calcium supplement, but it is associated with painless births.  And be really passionate with your husband ;). These things can't hurt, and may help a lot!  I swear by them.[/quote]
