    Yes...you sound exactly the same as me....Wednesday night I had only about two hours sleep because the cramping was atroscious!!! Then on Thursday I felt fine and had a great night sleep (despite toilet stops) on Thursday night...but today - the cramping is back - all up my back, thighs and period pain but not really the BHs (just a few - normal for pregnancy I would say). Bubs moved around crazily last night - so wondering whether she has disengaged too as there was a lot of movement and I am not feeling as much pressure in my pelvis! Guess I have to wait until next OB appointment on Monday to see what she is up to. Let me know how you are going!!

    Well...you won't believe it - but after four days of agony and lack of sleep - bubs backed up! Thursday morning everything just stopped!!! Also all the pelvic pressure disappeared!

    When I went to OB on Monday, I said I thought she had disengaged. He had a look (ultrasound) and she has indeed disengaged and turned prosterior!!!! Can't believe it!

    OB said that she must not have like the contractions and decdided to get out of there! Now I am desperately trying to turn bubs...and you won't believe it but not single little niggle!!!

    She has no intention of going back into my pelvis again!!!

    oh that sucks! I've birthed 2 posterior babies now, so I feel your pain if bub doesn't turn around! Good luck with getting bub to turn and your impending labour.

    Friday night bubs went crazy and kept me awake for 4 hours...the acrobatics were amazing. I am hoping she has turned - seems like she is on her side from kicks and feeling the bump! Fingers crossed...I see OB and will have US on Tuesday (wish is was sooner) but she hasn't re-engaged.
