Head down?

Is there a way to tell by the way she moves or where she's always poking out to tell if she's head down yet?

With my first I never even thought of things like that for some reason. It just happened and everything went smoothly but this time I'm fearing every possible thing. I think it just took me to really do a lot of research on the process and now I'm aware. I just hope she gets there if she's not yet.

Yeah my doctor just felt it. Thats the first thing he told me when he started feeling for her. And that was my fear too so when he said that, i got so excited!!! But i still gets bladder hits or kicks... and they hurt.. haha(: im 33.5 weeks so hopefully she will stay head down soon enough...

I think I will next week because I'm really wanting to know. I also just remembered I'm getting an ultrasound done in a week as a volunteer at a local university so maybe they can tell if she is or not.

Umm there probably is a way to tell by feeling around, just only a professional could tell lol. I was shocked when I asked my doctor "is she head down, is there any way to tell?" While he was checking my cervix and he felt around and said she was definitely head down. Sooo idk. Try asking your doctor if they can feel around and tell you??(:

Thanks. I'm 30+1 and she's always been low but I always feel something small, it kinda feel like a foot, right above my belly button. She's always right in that exact spot and I'm not feeling bladder kicks anymore since that started about a week to two weeks ago. My dr doesn't check until 35 weeks for dialation and positioning so I was just wondering. For some reason that's my biggest fear this pregnancy is that she won't be head down and I'll have to have a c section.

My baby girl is head down and she usually kicks up under my chest where your stomach is. Or around there. And she hits really low by my hips... i didnt know she was head down till my doctor told me but it made sense cause thats where she had been hitting. He said she can still move but she will go back. So depending how far you are your baby could move a lot before birth.... hope that helped! (:
