Baby is on the right instead of left - should I expect any differences?

[JessieBird]

Edited to rephrase because I found better pictures of baby positions - What are the main differences between labouring and birthing a baby who is ROT (or ROA) instead of LOT(or LOA)? This babe is on the right and has been for as long as I've been able to tell his position, head down and engaged, and I'm just wondering if I should be doing anything special to prepare or if there are any positions that will be more effective or more comfortable? Should I be trying to turn him to the left side or can we just go with the flow?

FWIW, I'm 37.5 weeks.

Have you been to spinning babies yet? They have good explanations of why one position is better then another and how to work to turn your baby.
This page I think addresses what you are asking about. http://www.spinningbabies.com/baby-positions

Just try not to spend a lot of time slouching or leaning back, ROT babes can turn more easily to posterior. It's a little more likely to have a long drawn out early labor with baby on the right than otherwise, I believe, did that to me with ds1.

My third baby was persistently ROA. I did inversions from spinningbabies for a few days when I figured out that he wasn't moving back and forth between ROA and LOA at the end. I felt him move to LOA after one session, spent some time relaxing in the tub (I used Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis, and did my daily practice in the tub that night for extra relaxation.) A few minutes after I finished my relaxation practice, my water broke and he was born 3 hours later, following a surprisingly easy birth! I have no doubt that moving him into position played a huge role in his easy, comfortable birth.
