Default Re: OP position really more painful?

I must be very odd! My first (my son) was the 'right' way round and caused all sorts of problems during labour and birth (probably cos he was a bruiser!) causing me to have every drug going, an episiotomy and forceps. It was a very traumatic labour and birth with him of which I can remember very little. Yet with both my daughters they were OP and during the last few weeks of pregnancy I was walking like I'd lost my horse and had terrible backache and pubic pain! Yet both labours with my daughters were a breeze compared to the experience I had with my son, I managed to stay at home until I was 8cm with my last and arrived at the hopsital with tens machine attached only needing to use the gas and air when it came to pushing her out. I also recovered much better with my daughters than with my son, I was home within 6 hours of my daughters being born but stsayed in hospital 3 days after my son!
