ok. my doc has been telling me at my
visits that the baby's head is down and
engaged and it feels like it's been
dropping lower. i'm now carrying lower
and further out in front. the thing is it
seems like the baby is moving further and
further to the left. i'm only feeling
movements on the left side and they seem
to be getting further out. i was lying
down this morning and i had some braxton
hicks contractions and my uterus is
totally crooked to the left. it's all
soft on the right side and hard all the
way down on the left side. right down to
my hip almost. it's so weird. is this
normal? i'm scared of the baby being
breech. i think it's called transverse
breech or something, when they turn on
their side or the shoulder is
presenting(?). i have an appointment this
afternoon so i'm going to ask the doctor
of course, i'm just wondering if anyone
else has experienced this and if it's
something to worry about. im 37 weeks now
so i guess i'm a little more worried about
the baby's position in case it's wrong
when i go into labour.

If the doctor says the baby is head down
she is more than likely head down, at at
this stage it's very unlikely she'd move
from being head down.
I know that with me the left side of my
stomach is always lumped out and rock
hard... and my right side is kinda
squishy, I feel the movement on the right
side because I think that is where her
legs are
It's probably just wehre your babe is
comfortable... try not to worry too much ,
if the doctor was worried about her
position she'd probably have mentioned so
by now.
But definately bring it up, and let us
know, I hope it doesn't mean anything cuz
I'm experiencing the same thing
Good luck at your appointment this
afternoon!

i had my appointment today at 4 and the
doc said the baby's head is still engaged
and really low down in my pelvis so i'm
relieved. the stuff on the left side is
all shoulders and back and bum. she said
i'm gonna have a pretty big baby. i also
passed my .g.b.s so i'm negative and won't
need the antibiotics. my doc said she was
so happy for me that i passed all of my
screenings because i went through enough
with the surgery. she also said i am one
of her favourite patients because i never
complain lol. she had just told me that
she wouldn't be inducing me unless i got
to 42 weeks and i said that's okay i don't
mind waiting. she said i was the first
person today that didn't complain about
being pregnant. i never get a chance to
though because the appointments are always
so rushed! i
guess it's good that i can come here and
complain so i don't need to bother her.
anyway, it was all good news so i'm really
happy now!!
