back from growth u/s

My baby is perfect.  She is measuring exactly on track (the tech did say that there it can +/- 1lb) but from the measurements she got everything was completely normal. 

She said the baby's position is probably what is throwing off my belly measurements.  Right now she is facing forward and head down.  She said ideally they should be facing towards the back.

Anyway, it was neat to see her again (and she is still a she!), and I'm feeling a lot better that my chances of having a 9+lb baby are very slim.  Oh and she has hair!

Congratulations! ?I'm so glad everything looks good. ?There are a lot of exercises you can do to encourage her to turn toward your back. ?The cat stretch is supposed to work. ?You get on all fours and arch your back, and then drop your spine so it curves toward the floor. ?I wanted to kick myself when Evie was sunny side up because I knew about the stretch and hadn't been doing it because I didn't know she was facing the wrong way.

My sister went through two pregnancies with babies facing sunny side up and the nurses were able to flip the baby before they were born.  She never had to have a c-section so you don't have to be too worried about it.  Sounds common for it to happen.
