We found out last week that bub no.2 was sitting in the breech position. For those of you 'not in the know' it basically means he wasn't head down in Amy's tum.
It's always amazed me that baby's spend such a large part of their time in the womb lying head down and then once you're in the outside world you spend all of your time the other way up.... I guess that's nature for you.
Anyway we spent a few hours in our local hospital in the company of our midwife (Julie) and a Professor who managed to turn the baby around.
This was done by grabbing bub by the head (outside of Amy's belly) and literally swinging him round. It was all done remarkably quickly and (so far) he looks like he's stayed the right way up. I've probably made it all sound a bit simplistic - there were monitors and the like checking that he was ok and it's certainly not something I'd recommend trying for yourself at home!
Just a few short days to go now - and we're trying to get as much rest as we can!
