Almost 35 weeks. My doctor checked to see if I was dilated and she said she could feel baby's head? What does this mean?

Is this normal for 35 weeks though?

It basically means your baby is dropped and head is engaging. You actually don't have to be dilated for them to feel the head.

My dr could feel my son's head before I had dialated at all. If he or she didn't tell u, I would assume ur not. My 38 week visit was Tuesday & she said his head had dropped lower but I'm only a centimeter dialated. U should call & ask :)

I was 36 weeks with my daughter. The doctor said I was 80% faced N 3 centimeters dilated. I went into labor 2 weeks later. Had my daughter at 38 weeks. So u can go into labor at anytime. U r dilating but not contracting. Just take it easy. No walking for long periods of time, stretching bending or swimming.
