OP (sunny side up) position

Question

hello fellow mummies! i’ve just gone for my week 37 gynae appt and was being told that bb was at an occiput posterior (aka sunny side up) position & was not told that bb was in this position on my prev appts.. this may cause labor to be more difficult and higher chance for ecsect.. i’m wondering if there are any fellow mummies out there who has experienced this too? and if there’s a chance for bb to turn and not stay in this position?

My firstborn was breech at 36weeks check. My tummy was small and baby is big, so it's unlikely he can turn much. My gynae said it will be more wise to go for an E-Csect. better than going through the labour and put baby in danger since the position is already not right, and end up with an emergency csect. It is also a cost, to try for natural then having emergency Csect, as you will be charged for both natural delivery and E-Csect. I was very sad to know that I can't give birth naturally, so I pushed for weekly scans to check on position. he really never moved much. I had elective Csect finally at 38w+. But what my gynae said was right, what's most important is having the baby out safely and into my arms.
