    I just got back from my weekly BPP! Baby A weighs 4.8 and Baby B weighs 4.12. The best news of all is that sometime in the past 4 days, Baby A flipped from breech to head down! That explains the reason I've been having so much more pain in my pelvic area the past few days. I woke up a few times last night and felt like the babies were just going to fall right out. What's kind of weird was that the ultrasound tech told me that she couldn't measure my cervix. Very strange...

    Now I just have to hope that Baby A stays head down until I deliver so that I don't need a C-Section.

    Oh, congratulations!! I know it's such a relief because that's about the time my babies flipped head down, a week and a half ago.

    Could you feel when they turned? Mine felt like they were both trying to bust out of my belly at the same time, it was crazy! My DH could see my belly jostling all over the place.

    I am at the same point in my pregnanc and one of my babies is breech. I hope he flips too. That is so awesome your baby flipped. What did it feel like. I think I would have felt like babies are crawling out of my belly button. They already feel really freaky when they have big movements, it is quite painful. Again. Way to go!!!!! That is great!!!!! I didn't think a baby would have enough room in there to do that with a sibling in the way.

    A few days ago when I suspect she flipped, I felt something (either her head or butt) poke out of my side. It was late at night and DH and I saw this huge bulge poke out of the side of me - it was really strange. I just kept saying, "What in the world are those girls doing in there!" Right after that I felt a lot more kicking in my ribs than I had before (Baby B has always been head down). I still wasn't sure though until today. I just hope she doesn't decide to do it again and go back!

    Great news! Did the tech say why she couldn't measure your cervix?

    if she wasn't doing a trans/vaginal u/s then you really can't measure the cervix via belly u/s.... did you just get a belly u/s??.... yay on the baby flipping...my stinker flipped breech at 34 weeks...hopefully yours is flipped for good!!
