heads up or heads down? What position is baby in?

[NicMom]

I had an ultrasound yesterday and our little guy is breech still. Just wondering if anyone's baby has flipped yet?

[seattlemom2plus]

It depends sometimes on the woman, I always seem to have mine earlier like around the 38 mark.  I'm wondering now that I am 37 weeks if I will go even sooner, I literally feel like I could go any moment lol with the contractions being strong.  Good luck please do keep us posted!

at my 37 week appointment today my babies head is down and low. my cervix is still closed but very soft, ive been having period like cramps on and off they are getting stronger each week and alot of pressure down there.  what do yall think my chances are of giving birth around 39 weeks? my hubby is leaving on my due date to nz and i really dont wanna get induced but will have to if baby is not here by 39 weeks. arhhhhh

Congratulations mami2karina on having your little one!

I am thinking we are still heads down which is good especially this close in the game at 36.5 weeks.  The last few weeks the baby is getting stronger and stronger.  Feels like they are going to crawl out on their own. lol

[mami2karina]

Mine's been head down since June.

LOL i have bumps coming out of my side and ribs...   they are getting bigger...  I was told it is my babys foot... its hard to really imagine it.  

[seattlemom2plus]

Thank goodness for the hiccups it lets me track the little bugger when I can't identify the little bumps that are busting out my sides and my ribs.

[navaehlei]

my babies head is down, i also feel his hiccups low too!

[seattlemom2plus]

it's amazing how little space there is between you and your baby when it comes down to this point, lol  I was excited I slept 6 hours without waking up to go pee, now if I can just get rid of this heartburn

[PetiteWonder]

I feel the little feet stick out all the time. My babys head is jammed so close against my cervix im surprised  i dont feel more pressure, though at times i do.  Walking around yesterday felt very heavy in my pelvis, almost painful. She is constantly hitting my bladder. I fnd it startles me at times. the vag us image of my cervix is creepy. Its like this thin wall followed by a giant round head

[seattlemom2plus]

This might be TMI but are any of you experiencing loose bowels compared to last trimester?  I was actually constipated in the 2nd trimester and now I am going a few times a day.  I would have thought this would be the opposite with the baby being head down.

[PutterGirl]

I am way more tired this trimester then the first!

[seattlemom2plus]

Yay on all the "head downs", I am definitely noticing a huge difference.  I can breath a little easier but yes I am waking up urinating more frequently now.  I have been able to feel little feet poking through my skin when I am laying down.  I even got to feel the little head the other night while I was laying down too.  Amazing there is not much time left.

I feel like I am in the first trimester again, getting a little more tired here and there and not able to eat a lot.

[PetiteWonder]

My baby really change in the last they48 hrs. I was so worried for low fluid even though i havent leaked but fluid was normal. Us tech said baby is very low in pelvis so i assume i dropped which explains the change in my belly. They say she looks happy there for now. But as my cervix is so short,  lets hope she stays put

[NicMom]

Woohoo we're in the final stretch! Have you guys noticed that the baby dropped yet? Just in the last few weeks I can't wear pants anymore and I can feel the head when I sit down. I'm breathing easier and peeing every 30 minutes. I think it must hve been the same time he went heads down.

[PetiteWonder]

Baby is officially head down

[seattlemom2plus]

Thanks NicMom for updating us on this, I am so excited for you that the baby is in position.  Mine are the same way so this is reassuring indeed.  Can't believe we are so close to birth already :D  This last part will be going quick and I have so much to do still, lol

[NicMom]

Just back from the dr. Baby is heads down so the hiccups I've been feeling really low mean heads down. FYI...

[seattlemom2plus]

I feel the hiccups down low with ours so I think the head is down towards the exit, like an anterior position, but yes they are still moving on me quite a bit so we'll see where they are this week.  The hiccups is my biggest clue that helps me and of course that foot coming out the side of my tummy.

[PetiteWonder]

Double check with my OB today and she couldnt tell me which side was the head vs the feet..  But my baby is definitely transverse (side to side)...

[NicMom]

I was hanging out this week with a girlfriend who is a RN at a OBGYN office and she said feel for the hard round spot and push on it. If the baby moves away or kicks it's the head. When you push on the butt they don't really care, but they should always move if you push on the head.

Still breech here, but now his feet are folded up down by my bladder instead in front of his face and under my belly button.

[PetiteWonder]

I think my baby is still breech...  I felt like yesterday maybe it was heads down because i was having kicks alot higher up than usual and some really low..  but then today it seem like they were all side to side again...  I am going to see if my oB can give my an idea t my next appointement about the position
