It just means that the baby's head is not yet fixed in your pelvis, it can still move from side to side. If you are 36 weeksor less this is quite normal, as it is if it is your second or subsequent baby. If it is your first baby it MAY mean that your pelvis is a bit on the small side. However as a midwife I once looked after a woman where at term the baby's head was free at 9am (in hospital as the baby kept moving to different positions), at 3.30pm her husband came and told me she was having contractions, a bit of a panic ensued in case she was in labor with the baby laying crossways or similar, at 5.30pm she had her baby quite normally, head first, so a 'free' head is not necessarily a problem. Hope this helps (englishangel)

What is the best way to deliver a baby?

The best way to deliver a baby at home is to make arrangements with a trained midwife. It's extremely important to have a knowledgeable person in attendance. There are different kinds of midwife; a nurse-midwife and a midwife. A nurse-midwife is a trained nurse with the additional training to specialize in midwifery and delivering babies; midwives who are not nurses have varying degrees of training, depending on the requirements where you live (or plan to have the baby). It is as important to find an appropriate midwife as early in your pregnancy as possible as it is to visit a doctor from early in your pregnancy. In addition to a doctor's advice, a midwife needs to evaluate if you are a good candidate for home delivery or if there are reasons that she would only deliver in a hospital setting. To help you get started, visit the link below for information on midwives and their services and responsibilities and how to find a midwife.

Where can I find a midwife school in North Alabama?

You would have to become a "nurse-midwife" if you wanted to practice in Alabama. They are the only legal forms of midwifery allowed. Having said that, there doesn't appear to be any specific midwife schools in Alabama. http://www.bestnursingdegree.com/programs/nurse-midwife/

How many visits are usually necessary to the ObGyn for a normal pregnancy?

In UK you would normally see someone early (7-10 weeks)to book somewhere for delivery, whether at home, maternity unit or birthing centre, may also have an early scan if unsure of dates. Scan and blood tests at 12 weeks for Downs syndrome. Scan at 18-20 weeks for abnormalities. See Midwife at 20 weeks to discuss the above and general check. See midwife at 24-26 weeks for general check See midwife at 28-30 weeks for check and blood tests. See midwife at 33 weeks for check See midwife at 36 weeks for check See midwife at 38 weeks for check See midwife at 40 weeks First time mums would have another check at 39 weeks as more liable to get pre-eclampsia. Mums with problems (eg diabetic, multiple pregnancy) would have more visits and see a specialist. These visits have been worked out from research rather than 'it has always been done like this'. Here we try to personalise care so use this as a guideline to discuss with your own carer.


Can you take long car rides with placenta previa?

The answer lies in where you want to travel to and how. You have to remember that once you are on a plane, there are no doctors available. So if it is a quick trip - you can risk it. You dont want to travel 22 hours on a plane with no doctor!
