Baby dropped and is RIGHT THERE!! HELP!

Ok my baby has dropped and this might be TMI but I can stick my middle finger in my vagina only half way and I can feel the baby's head!!! I'm 31 weeks today and I was just wondering should I be concerned about going into pre-term labor???  I have also been losing my mucus plug for over a month now somedays its a lot and somedays just a little with no blood its just a clear whitish color.

My doc said the baby is pretty low but that there is NO such thing as a to low of a baby. My cervix is 80% effaced but I'm not dilated. My old doc had told me that I was dilated but obviously she didn't know what she was talking about. lol He also said everything is perfect with baby and that I can even pick up my son and do house work just as long as i don't go skydiving or any other extreme sports! lol

FYI I can feel my babies head and the only reason my finger was even up there was because my Husband said he felt something when we were fooling around so I checked it out!! and I know for a fact it was my babies head cuz as soon as I touched it it moved!! and I'm not going to get an infection simply for the fact that I'm not stupid and I didn't stick my finger up there without washing my hands! now go take your negativety elsewhere!

Now of course I'm 35 weeks tomorrow but it is still possible if her little pumpkin is wanting to make an early appearance or if her date if off.

Mine bulges out there's no way that's anything BUT a head, its round and hard. Its not sticking out past my cervix AND all that is in there is flesh so it is quite possible to feel the head weather dilated or not.

I'm doubting that you can feel your baby's head. You would have to feel past your cervix in order to palpatate anything. You should also not be messing around like that either...you are taking a risk of breaking your waters if they bulge and there is a HUGE chance of infection. 31 weeks is sometimes too early for even your doctors or midwives to mess around down there.
Your mucus plug can regenerate itself if lost early.
