sitting to low?

Hey so I'm just 25 weeks and 5 days today and well my belly looks like is sitting way to low.. I'm really scared that I might be giving birth before my due date what if I have a premature baby? I want my baby to stay in there until he's ready to come out, I understand that he chooses when to come but is a little to early and doc is not telling me anything I'm worried

I just had this same thought, I'm 29 weeks and felt as if my boy had moved down after being right up under my ribs. But found out he had just shuffled and that I could also ha e a bigger opening and that he could just be sitting lower because of that. If you measure from your pubic bone to the highest point you feel baby at the top of your uterus is should be about 25-29 cm. That's what I was told from my duala.

Your uterus isn't very high above your belly button yet, and you baby isn't very big either. They have plenty of room to move around and whatnot. Just because you are looking low doesn't mean that he/she is as low as you think
