An enema before labor can also make the birth of your baby a more pleasant experience. When the baby's head comes out through the birth canal, anything in the rectum comes out, too. Discuss it with your doctor. Ask his or her opinion, and find out about the policy at the hospital you're going to. Some women experience back labor.
Back labor refers to a baby that is coming out through the birth canal looking straight up.
With this type of labor, you will probably experience lower-back pain. The mechanics of labor work better if the baby is looking down at the ground so it can extend its head as it comes out through the birth canal. If the baby can't extend its head, its chin points toward its chest. This can cause pain in your lower back during labor. This type of labor can last longer.
