That means the baby's head is in the birth canal and probably getting ready to drop. There is nothing to worry about. If anything I is a good thing because when you go into labor it won't be so hard and long to push the baby out. Good luck with your new baby and congrats.
Most babies are born with the head coming out first. In the early phases of pregnancy the baby may move position from head up to head down and vice versa. When the head is down it is in the right position to be born.
It means that the fetus has decended and the head is now in the posistion ready for delivery
Head First - The Babys album - was created in 1978.
I am 40 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby and experience strong braxton hicks for about 4 weeks. The babys head is on zero since 3 weeks and i dilated to 3 cm about 2 weeks ago, and i am still waiting. If you still have your mucus plug I would guess you have another 2 - 3 weeks... but who knows, the little treasures come when they are ready and not us! Good luck and hang in there
It dies
Its called a fontanel
breech. lol. Edit: it does NOT mean breech ! A 'breech' baby is one that's positioned with the head uppermost in the womb !
Yes! Get rest now while you can - it could be any day (or hour) now!
I tried with my second child. All it did was give me severely painful diarrhea. I would suggest that you not try it!
To protect his identity.
yes you can if you want it is up to you
From what i understand, the baby usually moves to the birth friendly head down position between the 34th and 35th weeks. 29 weeks seems a little early, the baby would still be small enough to tumble around all in there for a little while longer. In short , at 29 weeks your baby's position is not "fixed" yet, Just hang in there and trust your body, after all, its built to do all this!
The baby's head should be done. If it is not, it would be a 'breech baby' and may require a caesarian to deliver.
