Doctor appointment was yesterday and we had an ultrasound. Unfortunately, the umbilical cord was in front of her face and our horrible ultrasound tech didn't even attempt to get a good image of her. She just tried sticking the wand to it a couple of times and said "looks like it's not going to move". I KNOW other places have the mom's get up and move around or shake your belly, she just rushes through it. I think our next kid I will definitely be using a different doctor.
Good news though, they told us she looks perfect anatomically and that she is in the vertex position! I was shocked, what I thought was her head this whole time has been her butt! She's so much longer than I was expecting!
Hope she'll stay in the right position until she gets here, even though she's using mommy's bladder as a pillow.

Of course, every time we've tried with ours, they don't want to work with us but the tech tries. I hope she stays in that position and isn't one of those last minute flippers! |
