I had a midwifery appointment today. It was mostly with my student (she's a real UK midwife just transfering over to the Canadian system) which was lovely cause I like her so so so much better then my actual midwife (I think she must be a virgo lol).
And my suspicians regarding baby's position were right..... I was telling my mom and hubby that it really felt like baby's head was up high but I just couldn't seem to get a good grasp of anything in the pelvis to really compare it to so I wasn't 100% convinced........ And well it turns out the part that's up high is the head.... atleast according to the two midwives.... and from what I'm feeling I just know they're right.... About 3 or 4 nights ago I woke up and baby was very obviously transverse then the next morning it started feeling breechy..... So it looks at though I have a little trouble maker on my hands!
They're now booking me for a scan this week which I'm fine with and then if baby really is breech which I'm certain it is then we have to start working on turning that baby. My midwives do moxibustion and if all "natural" tricks fail I'm definitly willing to travel 2 1/2 hours for an ECV. It's still very early and it definitly feels as though baby has plenty of room to move as there seems to be plenty of amniotic fluid present which is probably what got us in this pickle
in the first place so I'm certainly hopefull! Guess I just have to cross my fingers and go from here.
BUT if it does stay persistently breech I will be electing for a vaginal birth in hospital, providing there are no contraindications present.... Problem is despite the new guidelines regarding breeches the doctors here have yet to "accept" breech vaginal deliveries as a choice so should this remain an issue it's gonna become quite the issue........
Turn baby turn!

) and with this pregnancy there seems to be alot more fluid then in my previous ones. So maybe I'll actually get to use some of those newborn outfits I've been collecting over the years 
And this little one is still head up and seems to be quite happy in an oblique position. But atleast there's nothing getting squished into my pelvis. Makes it alot harder to turn the little ones when they get something engaged.
Perhaps it was due to the suspected increase in fluid
