Midwife appointment...

So I've just got back from the midwife...

The good news is that everything is fabulous: she even said it was a waste of time seeing me as there were never any problems! Baby's heartbeat is wonderful and strong. My midwives have always said 'baby sounds really happy' after they've listened to the heartbeat, and I've always wondered how could they possibly tell!? Anyway, as long as it's strong and healthy, we don't care.

The not so great news is that our little wonder is breech...again. The baby had definately turned as it felt very different from usual and the kicking 'area' had changed very obviously. Except the last day or so I've felt a bit heavier and I started thinking the baby had moved round again. Alas, this was the case! Maybe it's just the fact the baby knows I have an appointment and just does it to wind me up.

The midwife was very reassuring although did say if the baby hasn't turned in a week, she'll send me for a scan to confirm the position and will go from there. It is a little annoying as things were progressing quite nicely thank you very much!

Anyway, I've been given some positions to try out (such as kneeling on all fours and rocking!?!?!) to try and turn the baby and will continue to sit on the ball as it worked so well last time!

Cheeky Baby. You are obviously too cosy. At least you know that Munchkin has their own mind (I wonder whether they take after Mummy or Daddy or maybe both!!)...

Get back on that ball. I knew you would love it. And to think you thought me strange for watching a DVD sitting on it. Bet you sit through X Factor bouncing away now hey?
