So I went back to the doctors today. This appointment was a little more interesting than others. I got paperwork about pre registration and info on when I really should go into the hospital for labor vs when not to waste my time. But... some somewhat bad news. The baby is completely sideways. It's little head is on my upper left side. I'm almost 37 weeks along and the doctor says that most babies have figured out what position they need to be in by now. She told me about how we can wait and see if it turns and explained that if it doesn't... I'll have to have a c-section. She also told me about how we can schedule a time for her to try to move the baby around in the correct position by pressing all over my belly. She said it's pretty uncomfortable, but it's still more comfortable than recovering from surgery.
So, we're going to wait until my next appointment next week, which isn't far away and see if the baby has moved at all. If it hasn't, I'm going to have her try to move the baby into the right position. Hopefully that will do the trick because I would really like to avoid a c-section.
Our baby is following after it's dad. Jon gave his mom the same problem and had to be delivered by c-section. Lets hope we can avoid surgery though.

Oh Kristin, I am going to keep you in my prayers that Baby Williams gets head down! I really hope you don't have to have a c-section either. I have heard of many girls who's baby's FINALLY go head down later on, so hopefully that's the case for you! Maybe you can try to push that sucker down somehow while at home!!
We'll be praying for baby Williams to get into position. I've had several friends who were in similar positions and their doctors were able to get the baby moved, so hopefully this little baby will be agreeable, too! Just take it easy and try to relax and not worry!!
We will pray for you and the baby. You do have a little bit of time before your due date so hopefully that is enough time for baby Williams to adjust him/herself in the right position. You know a blessing might be helpful....just a thought. :)
I hope your baby gets itself turned around. I'm sure it will be ok.
I also hope Baby Williams moves for you, but also, I'm glad that everything else seems to be going well.
Keep us updated. We are anxious to see pics of the new babies arriving to the Bodily clan.
Even though babies are cute they can be stubborn! I hope he or she turns for you! Our baby is in the wrong position as well at the moment.
