Breech is definitely Bad

Another midwife appointment this morning, and Boy Oh Boy! Does she know what's what when it comes to heaving the baby about!

As part of the checkup, the midwife wanted to check on the baby's position in the womb (cue for a series of pretend-Latin names to make it all sound very medical). Roughly speaking, Head Down is Good, other ways are Not Good, and Breech is definitely Bad. I was a breech baby.

To find out what's going on, the midwife gave the bump the most massive stirring. No messing, both hands and give it some body weight massage.

Toblet(te) is the right way up: ie, down.
