Glad you're well! Sorry you have back pain though, big babies will do that. I used to do a thing my midwife said, get on all 4's / hands and knees, and slowly rock hips side to side. That can help baby position better and off your back. Also for back pain, try to sit with belly very forward and back arched. Especially in cars and comfy couches we tend to lean back too much, which does not help baby get in prime position. Got to help those babies out, they don't have a lot of room to move around in there.

My youngest was a huge boy, 10 lbs and 2 weeks early. That was a fun 33 hour labor with no meds, I really should've just had c-section on that one lol. So in about 4 weeks it should be safe for baby to come anytime. I miss that exciting waiting time, and the birth experience is so amazing!
Thanks for this!
