sweetie, that popping out is all the donuts you are eating ;) heh.

Seriously, they flip around and can be head down or butt down until things get way too tight in there for acrobatics (35-40 weeks). It isn't unheard of for babies to flip to breech in the final weeks of pregnancy.

If you can feel his butt - or his feet in your ribs (ouch!) - then you know he is head down. When is your next doctor's visit? Usually they like to tell you the position when they palpate your belly (mine did anyway).

I had an ultraound in week 24 and she was already in the downward position. I went to the doc yesterday (week 27) and she was still in the downward position. My doctor said it happens when she has no room :)

Ooooohhhh yummy! Sweets! I never liked them before I was pregnant. I thought it would go back to normal after I had chu but it didn't. I looooove sweets now. A pecan tart sounds good.

Anyhoo. I'm not sure, I read somewhere (can't remember where now) that your little buddy can drop anywhere after 30 weeks.....
