The baby flipped - for now. My OB says it is still early and he still has enough room to flip again before the end. If he stays head down and labor starts and things still look good I will be able to try for a vaginal birth. Everything looked good on ultrasound and the doc measured me at 32 weeks. My fluid was okay, too. I won't know all the details of the ultrasound until I get my records on Thursday so I will post the rest of the info then. I know his heartbeat was 148 and they didn't measure his size today.
I think I was aware when he flipped this weekend because I felt his whole body move at one point. I remember thinking that I never felt anything like that with Hadley. It makes sense because by 32 weeks her fluid was quite low so she probably didn't have enough fluid to flip her whole body around.
His feet and butt keep pushing into my ribs, which Hadley never did either. Strange sensation. Heartburn is staying away as long as I take my medicine. I have gained 45 lbs so far. Holy crap! I'm not looking forward to having to lose that much. My very nice doc has not said anything about it, which is better than my last OB who loved to focus on weight.

Great to hear he has flipped! Wow..that must have been quite a sensation. Baby Andrew used to push up against my ribs with his feet and butt too! Try not to focus on the weight...I gained around 50 lbs by the end...I lost about 30 right away but now the last 20 haven't come off very easy...might have to start working harder on that...anyways, I am glad to hear that things are well and hopefully you will be able to go for the vaginal birth if you so desire (take the epidural, just my advice!)
Take care!!!
