Sunny side up & the 'disaster' we almost had at the dr's yesterday!

Original post by christine1221

So I have my 32 week checkup yesterday. The results are back from the sonogram from 9/4 & we're talking about the results.

Good news: baby is head down, measurements place the baby in the 50th% for weight at this time, the baby is very active (duh!) & has a strong heartbeat. GREAT!

Bad news: the baby is face up.

What does this mean? I ask. The dr goes on to explain that the baby's head is turned up instead of down which could make for a harder labor & a slightly higher risk of c/s. He assures me that there's plenty of time yet befor the baby gets 'locked' into position. (He says they call it Sunnyside Up! )

I remain calm & quietly say a prayer to the labor gods.

(as we're talking, he's showing me the report)
THEN ... he asks if I want to know the gender. I say NO! He quickly takes the paper away & throws it into the file!! He says ... it was right there on the report!!! Luckily for me, I wasn't really reading it, but .... could you imagine after all that time & pleading with the tech's at the sonogram NOT to give it away!!!

So it was a 'disaster' that we averted ... I would have been sooo dissapointed to find out, but all's well that end's well! Just keep your fingers crossed for me girls ... I'm trying my best to coax this baby into a good position!!
