Preggy Belly

Hi all

At last... I have a photo of my tummy, taken this week, which is growing rather large now and it feels like it can't stretch any more. All is still good, though I have to be honest, I'm suddenly starting to feel really tired and am almost 'dragging' myself around sometimes, but given that it's close to 'the end' of the line, I don't feel too bad feeling lazy on occasions.

The update on Baby Biddle... I had an appointment with Dr Payne on wednesday and while baby's head is still down, it's STILL posterior facing making it rather unfavourable for a natural birth and it's definitely tending more towards me having a caesar, which I am more than comfortable having for the sake of the baby and certainly when I hear what I could be faced with if I had to have natural, all I can say is... book me in and deliver! I'm ready now! But alas, I need to go back for one last scan on monday for the doctor to check baby's position, in the event it has turned and if not, we will have a caesar next week sometime. My doc is very pro natural deliveries, but is ultra competent doing caesars, but given the whole issue of the high caesarean rate in SA, most doctors it seems need to have a medically motivated reason for doing a caesar and apparently elective caesars are almost unheard of?!?! So yes, on monday we should have a clearer idea of what is to happen. We will keep you all posted once we know more - even if only a brief update on monday. Watch this space for more...
