OP position in pregnancy, labour and birth

 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.
