I had an awesome midwife appointment today -- she and the student midwife were able to palpate my belly and let me feel the baby's back/bum! It was awesome! Baby is head down right now, not like it really matters at this stage.
haha, swan, that's too funny about your daughter and finding out you're pregnant!
I totally know what you mean though! If I'm looking for a washroom and I'm with my daughter, she'll often start saying "mama pee pee" really loudly, or of course she'll follow me in and clap after I go.
Sometimes she offers DH a cookie after he pees, lol.
Speaking of more embarrassing toddler/ restaurant outings, just yesterday we went to a new restaurant with a childless friend of ours and DD. She's potty trained, but right beforehand she drank a TON of herbal tea and accidentally started peeing on my lap. I ran back to the car and of course I forgot extra pants or a spare diaper, so we had to return with her wearing an orange sweater tied around her waist and back up. She looked like a sumo wrestler! On top of that, she kept trying to say the word "fork" very loudly but it sounded like the F-bomb instead -- people were staring! Ahhh, toddlers! I really think we freaked our friend out!
Megamegan, I'm glad you like your doula! Yes, spinningbabies is awesome and I also highly recommend it. It's also a nice resource for knowing how to palpate your own belly later on, and the positions really do come in handy. I especially recommend avoid leaning back into a slouch too much after about about 30 weeks since your baby is more likely to be occiput posterior if you do it too much.
