In this episode Rachel takes me on the path to enlightenment about the topic of the occipito posterior (OP) position in pregnancy, labour and birth!
I ask Rachel why she’s always been reluctant to cover this topic on the podcast!
And sit down to discuss:
- What exactly is an OP position?
- Why it is considered a problem in our current maternity systems
- Are there any problems caused by a baby in an OP position?
- Some really interesting facts about the normal labour pattern with an OP position
- And we tackle the subject of the interventions to rotate baby’s and whether they work?
All this and lots more as usual. And find all the links Rachel has provided below.
