Head up, bum down

That's how bubs is lying at the moment. And has been for the past couple of weeks. Little monkey. at 37 weeks MOST babies are head down where they are supposed to be. But bubs is being contrary and she has her feet poking out my left side and her head hitting me under the ribs and giving me horrible heartburn! Not cutey cutey. I've been trying a whole heap of things to try and get her to turn around, including lying upside down on an ironing board propped up against the couch! She wriggles like crazy when I do it, but doesn't flip! I think she's too comfy where she is lol.

SO....this friday I'm booked in at the hospital for an ECV (external cephalic version), which is where an obstetrician tries to manually turn the baby from the outside. It doesn't sound very pleasant, but I would rather try that then have a ceaser! (although there is a slight risk of something going wrong and having to be rushed down to theatre, which is why I have to be nil by mouth for 4 hours before the procedure - considering that is at 10am I'm going to be rather hungry! Might have to get up for a midnight breakfast haha). So fingers crossed that it works and bubs turns (and then stays turned around). Otherwise I will be booked in for an elective ceaser at 39 weeks. Which is still not too bad either because that would give her an extra week and a bit to turn around by herself if the ECV doesn't work.

Went shopping last week and I have (I think) all the bits and pieces that I need for my hospital bag, so will be getting that packed before friday so I can take it in the car if it happens that I will need it! Still got a few bits and pieces to wash and get sorted, and still have to get a bassinet mattress! (I know, it's leaving it a bit late..but I haven't had the spare money!)

Oh and HOPING to finish work next week if my boss agrees. I'm getting pretty darn uncomfy sitting down for so long now and there are lots of things I want to try and get done at home before bubs arrives, and I want some time to myself too! Everyone keeps saying to me that I have done so well to have made it this far still working. yay for me haha.

Well I think that's all for now, haven't got a latest bump pic to put up yet so will have to get onto that tonight if I remember.
