Into my final trimester now, I feel like this pregnancy has flown by... Baby has turned itself around and is now head down - I anticipated this as I could feel the baby feeling uncomfortable having is bum pointing down. Anatomically - the space closest to the exit point for this newborn is alot narrower than the top of the uterus - it would make sense to lodge one's head in a smaller space than the rest of the body!! Then again there are the minute unborn bubs who choose keep their bottoms face down!! Knowing that baby is in the head down position puts my mind at ease - I was anxious about this with Morri and I was anxious with this Baby too! phewh! Now my next worry is that Baby's face is facing the right way when its time to birth- facing my anus!!
I remember the time when Morri was still growing inside me I felt him turn into the head down position. It was the middle of the night and I was half asleep and I could feel him 'scampering' with all his might to turn upside down.
The movements of Baby are so strong now - this morning while in the car Baby decided to stretch out one of its limbs into my right side just under my ribcage - WOW it gave me a good jolt! I am very ticklish and I get the giggles whenever this happens - I even catch myself laughing in the middle of the night if Baby starts moving about! Baby is tickling me at this moment while typing this. he he he!

Great writing Yves!
I've enjoyed reading your blog - keep it up! : )
Yeah, I can tell you that trying to birth a baby who is facing towards your pubic bone (and looking up instead of down) is VERY painful!
