Yep, it seems that my baby is switching from posterior to anterior too. My DS1 was posterior when he was induced, so I am wondering if my babies like to be posterior too. Right now, I have homework--hands and knees 15 mins a couple times a day to encourage him to get locked and loaded in the right position :) Hopefully if he gets into an optimal position that will encourage my body to get going too.
I'm 40+5 today. New strategy is to schedule something to look forward to every couple days to keep my sanity in check. I have henna scheduled for tomorrow (yours is soooo cute, and I had been wanting to do mine for awhile, but now I am glad I waited since I can use it as a treat now). I am thinking maybe a pedi early next week. This next week may get a little expensive LOL Does anyone have a specific cutoff? I, personally, am not comfortable going past 42 weeks, so next week around this time, my midwives and I will start the at home induction process if I have not had the baby. I would really, really prefer to go naturally, so fingers crossed I don't make it to next Wednesday! My MWs also start doing BPP at 41 weeks, which is Friday for me. I went ahead and delayed until at least Monday, hoping he'll come by this weekend. I would really rather not get one at all...he's so active I really don't feel it's necessary and I had to get a couple extra u/s that I wasn't expecting, so I would rather just not...considering declining going in on Monday, but we'll see
Sonrisa, I hope it's the start of something!
Coraljean, many LVs to you! Best of luck...I hope you are holding your baby very soon

My second was nicely anterior until my water broke at the end of labor and he dropped into my pelvis, turned posterior and birthed that way. I just have posterior babies, something about my pelvis I guess. I would LOVE to have a nicely positioned baby, I'm not sure I'd even believe I was having a baby in that case! I'm not looking forward to another back labor, but I know I can do it and I'm lucky that they don't follow the typical pattern. They are pretty fast with quick pushing too, but man is it intense!! Sooo, yeah I'm trying to work through that and get to the place of accepting and welcoming birth!! Everything else is good.
Melek, that would mess with me to have had a baby so much earlier and then to go late! I hope your baby is here before Christmas! How nice to be getting a break!! I really want to send my kids off somewhere! All they do these days is yell, backtalk, and make messes! Well maybe not, but that's what it feels like! :)
Yay for bebegim!!!!
mckittre, I hope it's soon for you!!!
I paid for this baby all this year and would love to declare him on taxes. Also, it's a mental thing for me. 1/1/11 would be a very cool birthday, but I have had it in my head that he was a 2010 baby since we were TTC him for 5 months...I got in right under the radar and I would like to have him in 2010. I'm hoping 2 days is long enough for the induction :)
