Had another check up with the Midwife today.  All good so far!

Mrs WB had her blood pressure and heart rate taken, both were good. The Midwife checked WB’s position. For a while now, we have been trying to figure out which way around the Worrybomb was. It seems the big lump that has often formed on Mrs WB’s left side under her ribs is Worrybomb’s bottom and its head is down near her hips, pretty much as in the diagram, but with the baby facing more towards Mrs WB’s backbone. This seems to be the engagement position ready for the birth! ( There has to be a Star Trek joke in there somewhere ). I hope that talking to its backside for the last month hasnt offended it too much.  During the hunt the baby session, we heard its heartbeat again, loud and regular. Their toys are so much better than ours, I would love to make a recording from their heartbeat microphone monitor, the sound was so clear and defined. Diagram showing an engaged Baby prior to birth
