My first son was OP, i had a 33 hour labour and an emergency c-section(also due to small pelvis and big baby). They didn't seem to notice until the end that he was in this position, and kept saying that the shooting pain down my side was just normal labour pains. When he was deliveed he was so badly bruised and swollen it was obvious he'd been stuck for a long time.

What was said earlier on in discussion about women not been given enough information, like why they should move is true - where i was. I knew something was wrong but they ignored what i was saying! If moving around would of help i would have gladly done it, instead i was told to lie down on my side, which made it hurt more!
