Ok, so our baby boy has been stubbornly head up for about a month now. With our due date less than 3 weeks away, we are trying quite a few things to get him to turn. But do you know how many things people say to do to get your baby to turn head down? Laying on an inclined iron board for an hour each day, swimming, crawling everywhere, doing certain back stretches, putting pillows under your bottom, having an ice pack on the top of your belly and a hot pack on the bottom, going to a chiropractor or an acupuncturist, and even more!
With all these options, what is a girl to do? Especially when her doctor doesn't really think any of them work, besides the doctors moving him manually in what is called a version.
Well, I've been swimming in a fabulous outfit (talk about looking good in a swimsuit)
I've tried crawling around the house, but it's a lot more difficult with a 7 pound baby inside of you.
Stutz and I have also tried elaborate pillow configurations on the coach. These attempts mostly end up with me laughing hysterically, with my hoodie up around my neck and my body mostly off the couch. But don't worry, Stutz is there to help me get out of these precarious positions.
The ice pack on the top of the stomach seems not to phase baby Jonah at all.
With all these tries, the most that Jonah has moved is sideways...but getting him to turn the last 90 degrees is looking to be out of our hands.
So for now we have a version scheduled for the 19th of January and are trusting that God has things under control.
