I'm 28 weeks pregnant and the baby is already vertex!

[Limonada]

This morning, my OB confirmed that, based on what he's feeling, the baby is already vertex (head down).  I'm only 28 going on 29 weeks which he said is a bit early for this to have happened, but I remember having it happen early with DS, too.

I know that this doesn't necesarily "mean" anything:  babies can stay like this for a long time....and he/she might even still flip around in the meantime.  DS was late (I eas induced at 41 weeks), so I know it doesn't mean that anything is imminent - which I'd prefer, anyway...i want baby to stay in there for at least another 10 weeks, if I have any say about it (which I know I don't!)

Nope, I'm not worried!  I haven't noticed any contractions or crazy pressure down there or anything.  If anything, I'm just happy that the baby knows what he or she is doing ;-)

With both of my pregnancies, my boys were head down by 24 weeks and stayed that way until delivery. I was told it wasn't cause for concern, but that it was a good thing. As long as baby isn't engaged and you are not having a lot of consistent contractions, no worries. =)

My first 3 pregnancies my boys were head down the whole time. So I dont think it should be of concern. Its not like baby is engaged or anything yet. Then I would worry, lol:-)

Mason has been head down since around 26/27w.... before that he'd flip to be horizontal...

today I swear he moved towhere he was laying left to right and not head down for a while... he's been going nuts in there!
