Posterior baby – what does that mean? [pitocin] [cervix]
I am 39 weeks and go into the hospital on Sunday for the ripe cervix gel and pitocin will be given on Monday. I went to the doctor today for my weekly visit and she made the comment that the baby was posterior. I asked what that meant, but she was distracted answering a question I asked and I did not even think about until I left. What does this mean? Does the baby have to turn on or is that the position they should be?
