I saw my favorite midwife last week, and she assured me that it is *way* too early to freak about about fetal position. The idea has been manifesting itself in the form of "if only I started sitting the right way months ago I'd know for sure that baby won't be breech, or if she is, it won't be my fault." She said I'd been getting bad information, that we won't start even worrying about it until week 35 or 36, and that there'd be plenty of time to intervene if it turns out then that the baby hasn't flipped.
She explained that a growth spurt in the next few weeks will make the baby's head bigger and heavier, which will allow gravity to make head-down a more natural position for her. She also felt around and confirmed that the baby was head-down when I was at my appointment, and had me feel for myself. The baby's head felt like a lemon.
Been having fun painting the baby's room, looking forward to finishing the job so I can continue putting together furniture. Re: $80 IKEA crib, you get what you pay for - I had to sand and/or re-drill about half the pieces to get it to fit together right, but it's done and sturdy and fine.
