The final countdown…
*cue Joey Tempest and co.*
Less than a fortnight to go now, blimey! The little bugger’s being unco-operative as usual and has turned into the posterior position, which means that its back is at my back and it hasn’t ‘engaged’ yet (this is when the baby’s head enters the pelvis ready for birth). Had to go back to the physio to get my pelvis cricked back into position too; one side being higher than the other does not a good pelvis for childbirth make. However, I’m having fun trying out the different methods of getting the babby to turn round into the right position – curries, long hot baths (ruins your books though when you go to turn a page and realise your hand’s soaking), ’snuggling’ etc. The one I haven’t tried though is where you basically get down on all fours and rest there to let gravity do its bit – nobody but EV would see me doing that but even so it just doesn’t sound right…!
