I keep talking about my new MWs response to my birth story - she just gave me such insight. I'm so blessed by this -
Anyhow, DS was OP, a week late. We transferred to the hospital to a very trusted OB. He felt DS was experiencing too much stress, and I agreed with him for the c-sec.
The MW's theory is that DS probably settled into the OP position weeks before the due date, decided it was nice and comfy, and that contributed to being a week late. Meanwhile, he's adding weight and growing that big head - all leading up to a horrendous labor with his head getting stuck.
Her very good news to me was that having gone to 10 with DS means I'll labor like a second-time vaginal birth mommy. Her words - "nothing was wasted."
I just thought that was so interesting about position affecting the start of labor. Believe me, I'm going to be on hands and knees the whole last month of pregnancy.

very encouraging!
And no 2 pregnancies or births are alike...most likely all will be different next time.
