A few friends wanted updates of what I look like now - these pics were taken on Thursday 24 April, at 38 weeks exactly. Tum is quite big now - still no sign of stretchmarks thanksfully. At my midwife appointment on Wednesday we discovered this bub is rather stubborn - he/she is actually facing the wrong way in what is known as a frank breech position - head up, body curled around and legs straight up in front of its face - a similar position to my earlier 3D ultrasound. I returned to the hospital on Thursday and saw a great Ob who tried to turn bub around manually in what's known as an ECV (external cephalic version), slighlty uncomfortable but not too bad, but the little one wouldnt budge. My options are now to try and deliver this baby normally but in breech position, or to opt for a C-section. I am leaning toward the latter but am seeing another Ob later in the week to discuss both options in more detail. I dont mind, as long as he/she arrives safe and healthy.

Ohhh man that is the most beautiful belly - look at your gorgeous skin?? I still think you should go for some nuddy shots before bub comes :)
Hey Lauren, great to see you looking so well. How many sleeps now?
