Pre-Birth

Its been months since we found out WorryBomb was on its way, but we still don't know if it will be a she or a he. Read more by clicking here or on the picture »
To help Worrybomb assume the correct position and move out of being breech, we have been trying several things along with moxibustion. Read more by clicking here or on the picture »
So with just a few weeks until the birth, someone has stuffed up, Worrybomb didn't ready the manual and is now the wrong way up. Read more by clicking here or on the picture »

We had the first of the pre-natal classes last night. The two part course started with labour and was given by one of the Midwives at the local hospital, where we hope we will have the Worrybomb in a month or so.

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
