Baby Head Down

I’m about to be 32 weeks and just had an ultrasound today, the doctor told me the baby is head down and I’m concerned because I thought that was supposed to happen a few weeks before labor.

Any advice or information?

Nope, if baby isn’t head down by 36 weeks they start to worry bc baby tends to be getting too big to flip, but they can go head down whenever before that no issues. There’s a difference between being head down and dropping into the pelvis which may be what you’re thinking of which tends to happen closer to labor

Thank you so much for explaining because I got super paranoid 😅 specially since they just told me he’s currently 3 pounds.

Mine turned head down early, it’s a good thing. He did come a week and a half early but he was absolutely ready, he was 8 pounds

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.
