sunny side up?

Anyone else have a baby or ever had one that is sunny side up or in the posterior position, meaning their back is to your back? Did it affect labor in any way?

I had my son sunny side up. I felt labor more on my back then anything because of it but I pushed for only 59 minutes and he was my first. And his head wasnt bruised or anything :)

I have a sunny side up baby right now. 38+4 my doctor said labor will hurt a little more will last a little longer.  Her spine is rubbing on mine. I'm actually getting induced tuesday because of the horrible back labor I'm having.

My last was sunny side up..its took me 3 1/2 hours to push him out and he came out with a bruise on his head so yea it was more difficult but you can still give birth vaginally
