I'm pretty positive he is posterior.. LOL He tends to LOVE laying more towards my side too!! LOL The MW said he was anterior almost 3 weeks ago, but has been posterior all along before then.. By the kicking, I'm pretty certain he's back OP. All 3 of my other kids were born OP..

Lol that was my first thought, oh look baby is OP.

Gorgeous henna! I'd love to see the stain in two days to see how it turned out.

Yeah, I did with my last pg too but she still came posterior.. My midwife that delivered my other babies told me my pelvis must be shaped for posterior babies since I never have issues pushing or anything!

I just peeled all that tape off and here is the end result!

You got a really good stain for a belly. In the next 24-48 hours it will get even a bit darker.

Beautiful Candice!! (My term belly looks similar so don't apologize for your beautifull-prego-ness!!) I was also wondering about the OP thing and I am glad that you have a special pelvis for OP babies 'cause .. well.. that is cool. How long will the stain last?

My first two babies were born posterior! My 2nd two were born anterior, but I'm certain they spent a lot of time posterior during pregnancy. I had epidurals with my first two, so I figure they were stuck that way after that. (That and my water was broken...to make a long story longer...the OB that broke my water against my wishes in my 2nd labor is now in prison...that sums up fairly well what kind of jerk he was .)

With my last 2 babies, staying home until transition (#3) and having a homebirth (#4) I think was key in getting them to come out in the right position. (At least for me...your babies must just have a posterior path. )

the henna looks great- now you have my interest- what tape was used? i ordered henna premixed and the tips and i am ready to go - got to find a cute belly to beg to let me practice on soon! but there was nothing i have read about that said anything about tape- so now you got my curiosity going...

and yea i noticed the OP baby thing too- also kinda made me wonder if the baby is breech- are you feeling kicks high or low?
