35.5 week u/s - good news and so-so news

rowanthefrog · December 2013

The good news is he looks great. They estimate his weight to be around 5 lbs 13 oz. I had a feeling he was bigger than his brothers and I was right. DS2 was born after my due date and only weighed 6 lb 14 oz! Fluid looks good. They didn't tell me yet if my placenta was covering my C-section scar (which is why I went in) but I should know in a couple of days.

So-so news - after being vertex for weeks he has apparently flipped and is oblique/transverse with his head nestled into my right side. So I'm going to be on spinningbabies.com trying to get him to flip and I made an appointment with a chiro who is certified in Webster technique for next week. I'm also going to talk to my OB at my appointment about a version. Fun.

But...he's healthy, moving, doing great and I am especially thankful for that today...I'm still in shock over my BFF's loss at 27 weeks.

I'm glad that things are looking good. FX that baby gets back into position for you soon!

You could also try acupuncture if the other things don't work. Fx he gets back in position:)

Oh, I'll be keeping my eye on how things go for you! I had almost an identical appointment it sounds like! My LO is a few ounces bigger (supposedly), but was switching from oblique to 2 other things (u/s tech was talking too fast). I get to have The Talk with OB next week to decide from there.

I also went to the chiro today, and talked to her. She sounded almost too excited to try the Webster method on me, lol! It sounds more pleasant than a version (which I've had, successfully).

Good luck!
