Dear Baby,

These small movements against my hipbone lead me to believe you probably have your hands up (er, down) near your head.

Please strongly consider moving them before being born. I would greatly appreciate it.

Love,
Mom

Oh, I remember that. Not fun in the least.

Sex on your hands and knees.
And not gentle "I love you so tender" sex, either.

And is this your professional opinion, or simply an amusing idea?

Dead serious professional advice.

In a multip such as yourself, the head usually will not fully engage until active labor, hence it is still very negotiable in the pelvis right now. Hands and knees position, coupled with the motions that position generate (yum!), and a little physical nudging away from the cervix, will encourage fetal movement and hopefully, an arm retraction away from the cervix.

Happy baby repositioning!

Yep. My 10lb 2oz baby girl was born with her right arm up over her head. The first part we saw of her was her right hand. Which made her head even BIGGER than it was supposed to, and made the whole "rest before we get the sholders" thing _quite_ impossible.

*sends move your arms vibes to baby*
