Yesterday, I had my 3rd ultrasound & another doctor's appointment for our precious baby boy. In a previous posting, I had mentioned his enlarged kidneys. This was the reason for more ultrasounds. I am glad to say, we are seeing progress. The baby's kidney's have gone down in size...from each being 0.5 cm to being 0.3 & 0.2 cm. Although these measurements are the same as my ultrasound 4 weeks ago & still not where the doctor's would like to see them, I have been assured by the ultrasound tech, who has been doing this for a very long time, & my doctor, that this is nothing to worry about. They are larger than normal, but not over the 0.6 cm mark where something more serious could be wrong. I will continue to have ultrasounds until the baby is born & then once he is born, he will have an ultrasound done & my doctor is certain that his kidney's will then be normal size. For this, we are thankful.
In addition, to the baby's kidney size, the baby is also in the breech position. The ultrasound tech told me that the baby still has a little room to move, but the doctor said she would have liked to see him turn by now. I will go again in 4 weeks for another ultrasound where we will check and see the position of the baby. If the baby is still breech, my doctor says I'm the perfect candidate for an external version, which is when the doctor will manually turn the baby, because I've had 3 natural, non-complicated births previously. I have heard this is a pretty painful process, so we are praying hard that the baby will turn within the next 4 weeks. This is our focus now. If not, then we'll go from there. I've also wondered if this could be why I've been so oddly uncomfortable...because his feet are kicking so low, rather than his head being low!
We appreciate all your prayers & concern! Thank you all!

We'll be praying. Something to try...I've heard that if you do the "pelvic rock" (get on floor on hands and knees and arch your back as high as you can and then lower it back down as much as possible) you can flip the baby into position. I used to do it every night for a few minutes and it would help my back feel better. It's worth the try to see if it will work.
