Praise the Lord!

Our little fabuloso is head down! Here's the story...

Over the last few weeks, I've had what I thought was pregnancy aches and pains. Except the last week or so, I've been finding it quite difficult to get out of bed and to take big steps when walking. Lots of stabbing pains going on in the pelvic and lower back region. Which now turns out to be symphysis pubis dysfunction, which is the last thing you want but it's been such a marvellous pregnancy, I don't mind. Only a few more weeks now! Anyway, so I've been given a hoist which is hilarious although a bit tight.

While we were there, I asked the midwife to check the baby's status in utero! John & I were a bit unsure as to the position after the last appointment, to be honest - we didn't really believe her though we were sure she knew what she was talking about.

So, this new midwife prodded and poked and said the baby was head down...and I squealed with excitement, especially when she asked if I wanted a quick scan to double check. So we quickly scooted over to the other room, out comes the squirty jelly and the doppler and there was our precious little one stretching and yawning away, albeit with a large nose!! And they were head down...

So I don't know if that was answered prayer or the midwife was just wrong (which we always thought she was really) but the great news is the baby is head down and is looking to engage fairly soon!

So exciting...
