    Thats almost a really good possie, (I read it first differently so am just changing what I've said lol) as the mw said, just work on how you are positioned a bit. Have a look at the spinning babies website, www.spinningbabies.com. At night lie on your left hand side with your top leg bent over a pillow and your bottom leg straight, that's the best possie for sleeping as baby's back goes a bit more anterior. No slouching in couches, sit on the floor yoga style or a straight backed chair and also sitting backwards on an upright chair if you can. Instead of sitting at the comp in a computer chair maybe get a fit ball? That's what I use now not just to keep my body active but to help her go lower in the pelvis.

    Anyway, most of that info is on the spinning babies website, optimal foetal positioning.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Aphrael!
    I do have a fit ball and tried to sit at the computer with it but it makes my eyes hurt for some reason!! lol. I don't know why, maybe because I'm moving a bit and it's hard to read??

    Reading the spinning babies website it seems to me the baby is in the optimal position, Left Occiput Anterior. Hmm....
    Now to keep it that way! lol. I think it's been like this for about 4 wks or more though.

    when I was heavily preg I sat on my computer chair backwards (leaning over the back) and that was good!Just try to keep your knees lower than your hips when youre sitting, shouldnt matter which way you lay - as long as youre on your side

    All the best darl, not long to go now!

    Oooh.....how come knees lower than hips??
    I think my knees are a bit I higher than my hips on the fit ball coz I sink down...

    It just leaves more room in your pelvis so bub won't turn posterior and can engage
    try the backwards-on-chair trick

    Ok, sitting backwards on my chair now, lol. More comfy actually, my tailbone doesn't get sore.
