Im due in two weeks time and my midwife says my baby is back to back. What does this mean and what does it mean for me?

It means that your baby is facing your belly button or forwards, and that their back is next to your back. This can lead to what they call "back labor" which is supposed to be painful. When I had my first baby she came out facing forwards, and I had a pretty mild labor. I even sat around my house for 6 hours with contractions 2 minutes apart not sure if I was n labor because I was waiting for it to hurt. So, don't get tense and scared. I recently read in one of my books that if you will spend a lot of time sitting up leaning slightly forward you can encourage the baby to turn so that they are front to back.

This is just your baby decending, im 38 weeks and im going through the same thing , nothing really to worry about but i can give you remedies that may help ease the pain , a hot bath , ice pack on your back for 30mins at a time , have your partner massage it , tylenol (but didnt work to good for me ) , and also i have been using those thermo care heat patches , i used those before i took leave from work and i am a waitress they work wonders. If none of these help ask your doc if you can if he can prescribe you flexeral and Darvacete's they help a GREAT deal

Hi there
What it means is that your baby's backbone is pointing in the direction of your backbone. Most babies lie with their backbone pointing towards the front of your tummy.
What it means is not much but some say it makes for a more painful labour and there is a small chance that the baby's head might catch on your pelvis and you might need suction to help delivery. other opinions might vary but I'm speaking from my own experience of having one child with the back to back (needed a little suction as her head was caught) and one back to front (born in A&E and popped straight out). Still I understand a lot of back to back babies pop straight out as well.
Good luck.

babys back is next to your back and if baby stays that way you can have just a more slightly painful labour hope baby turns a bit for your sake! i had that with first one the labour pains were awful they were all in my back hope all goes well take care x

I would think it means your baby is positioned where his back is "touching" your back. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, so please ask her or your Ob/Gyn! Best wishes on a safe delivery and healthy baby - God bless!

My son was like this it just means his back is against your back...it is usually the other way around..it can make labour a little longer ..

Do you mean that you meant the word "mean" in its original meaning or are you too mean to meet my mean standards? Oh, I'm going to start moaning about your mixing up all those m-words...

the head is suppose to face your back right now the head is facing stomach the baby needs to turn backwards for easier labor.its hard to push a back to back baby out.but its possiable.this is nothing to worry about.
