Hi Amand

We're in Queensland. Thanks for your reply. It was a shock to start with because when we imagined having a baby we imagined it to be a certain way - but in a way it's good to be brought back to earth like this because of course no baby is going to turn out the way you imagine you'd like anyway.

We have been for a couple of scans to determine the extent of the turning but you can't really tell much until she's born. So we'll just wait and see. Did you see a private specialist or go through the public system? We have so far been very impressed with the public hospitals here, they are very organised and know a lot about the problem and we have left every doctor's visit being completely confident about the outcome. We had thought though we might go private if bub needed surgery.

How has the surgery etc effected Ava's crawling walking? Is she getting around easily?

Rosy.
