Today I had my 30-week appointment. How has the time gone by so fast?! Everything looked good as usual. Jack's heart was beating normally and he is getting bigger by the day! Right now they calculate that he is just over 3.5 pounds and almost 17 inches long. He's a healthy boy!
The only big news is that he is currently breech. His head is lodged somewhere up under my right ribcage (which explains the pain I've been having there!) and his little feet are what keep me up at night kicking my bladder. They told me that at this stage this isn't really too much to worry about, although most babies have turned head-down by now. They said they will give him a few more weeks and if he doesn't turn on his own, they will "compel" him to do so. (Which from what I was told involves me laying on a big ball and the doctor basically sitting on my stomach!) So everyone hope that Jack will suddenly decide he likes to be normal!! :)
Hope everyone is well! Talk soon,
Love Kelly
Wow, I cannot believe that you have already hit the 30 week mark! It won't be long until Baby Jack is here! I will definitely keep my fingers crossed that Jack feels compelled to turn the right way on his own very soon!
