JordieC - Hee hee I've been straightening my hair every day lately, just in case I go into labour, I thought I was the only one who did this?!! Pregnancy has definitely brought out my vanity...!!

Gracie - I'm due next week so just before you. I wonder if you're feeling extra tired because of the bubs position? I'm not sure if my bub has turned but I defintely was exceptionally tired when the ob said he was posterior on me the other day. I usually have heaps of energy and in those days when my back was aching and he was most definitely posterior, I was asleep by 8:30 every night and dragging myself through each day. I also felt really light headed with lots of nausea. I guess having a baby resting on all your nerves along your spine like that is going to be tiring, so we shouldn't be hard on ourselves! If it's any help, I've been paying more attention to my posture and sitting more upright, never leaning back and this seems to have helped. Apparently lots of leaning back can encourage ther baby to go/stay posterior. Also try leaning forward on all fours, ideally on a beanbag when you're watching the telly, stay like this for at least 30 mins if you can and you should notice a big improvement to your back pain. I'm quietly hopeful the baby has since turned, as since I've been doing these types of things my back pain has gone away...mmm...will wait and see what the next ob appointment reveals, all this waiting is so annoying!!

JordieC - Sorry to hijack your thread here! Good luck, it sounds like you may be getting close! Finegrs crossed very tightly for you!!
