Brief Answer:
Normal Delivery Possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi Axxxxxxxi,

I understand your concerns.

I respect your doctor's observation. If cervix is posterior it can still change position and normal delivery is possible.

I suggest you visit another doctor in XXXXXXX for second opinion. There is a method called strripping which is done to induce labor pains. Request your new doctor to do stripping of membranes from cervix.

There are good chances of normal delivery.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
