I don't think it matters how big/small you are - that's a terrible position to get into and maintain! I was doing it to try to give my posterior baby room to turn with my last pregnancy, and I thought my eyeballs were going to explode!
Hahaha yeah sometimes I feel my brain is going to pop out my ears or something!!!! Too much pressure. Hope your insomnia goes away soon, I normally get that around 40 weeks - not pleasant at all!

I agree, the spinning babies positions are not easy for any normal person.! My DS was very mobile until the end, even though he was over 10lb. lots of time being transverse, breech at 38 and 40 weeks. we could move him head down with rebozo, but he would move again. I worry for this little one, my tummy muscles are probably in worse condition. I was fortunate to have midwife comfortable with breech birth, and a baby who got his shiz together at the right time.
both mine have been 41 weekers and I would be reluctant to consent to c section early too. c,mon baby, be nice to your mum.
Yeah both girls were really mobile, thats why I wasn't worried. DD3 was still mobile and floating high when I went into labour with her and 2 hours later I was pushing her out, so I know they can move - this one just feels different because he isn't mobile, he's just sitting there. I think he tilts his head forward sometimes because I feel it between my ribs, but mostly its under my left rib. Its the fact that he isn't mobile that concerns me I think.

Arimeh- I'm sure Zoe was breach at her 30 week app my midwife wasn't and said she wouldn't have been concerned until 36 weeks. Thankfully she turned on her and boy did I feel it!!
Yeah I normally wouldn't be concerned except for the whole not mobile thing! I haven't talked to my midwife yet - she's in Germany at the moment, and I have an appointment at 32 weeks with the other midwives that work with her, but I know they get a little antsy if they haven't turned at 37 weeks. So I know I've got time, but I've never had one that wasn't mobile! And I think its the unknown thats scaring me, so I'm sort of getting into the mind frame that if it turns into a c-section then it was meant to be.

I hope you do become a midwife - I think everyone who is passionate about birth should be! Its the only way change will be made in our system, if more people who are passionate about natural birthing and no-intervention births become midwives!
