My baby was sunny side up and "military style." I had never heard of military style, but evidently it's when the baby does not flex through the birth canal and is totally rigid. Like a lot of the others, I had back labor and...

Chloe'sMama - today is my due date as well and I totally understand how you feel. I've been doing so much and was thoroughly disappointed at my MW appointment yesterday to learn my cervix is still high, thick and closed. This is my...
