Joridie C & Sally 06 - LOL at the hair straightening!! i won't be looking glamorous during labour (will want to use the shower so no point in using the straightener or mascara), but have already got the GHD packed in my hospital bags for post-birth, but pre-photos!! ha ha ha!! if i'm too tired to straighten my own hair one of my friends has offered to come in and do it for me - i wonder whether she does pedicures too... will pack the nail polish just in case!!

Gracie - had another OB appointment this afternoon. told him i was upset because i thought the baby was still posterior. he had a feel and said that it wasn't fully posterior, but wasn't anterior either (so maybe it's facing sideways?!).. anyway, i asked him about the techniques to get it to swing around to the front and he said that i was very welcome to try them, but he was not sure that any of them worked particularly well. he also repeated the same as last time, that the baby can still turn anytime from now up until going into labour, and can turn during labour itself.. or of course it's also possible that i might just be stuck with a posterior bub!! am going to try hanging out on my hands and knees when i can and leaning forward when possible just in case it does do some good (there seems to be a lot of literature on it!), but am also going to try and keep up the "don't worry, be happy" mantra seeing as it's not all doom and gloom just yet...
