Was your baby early, on time, or late?

Question

So at my "34 week" appt (33 weeks & 5 days) my doctor told me my girl was head down and super low. She even had trouble locating her because she didn't expect her to be that low already. She's been head down and low into my pelvis since 28 weeks. Has anyone experienced this and if so when did you deliver? I'm a FTM and terrified because I don't have my hospital bag packed or anything like that. Car seat isn't installed yet either. I'm 34 weeks in 4 days.

Answer

My son was head down and very low beginning at 28w. I was induced on my due date (medical issues) and when I went in, I was effaced but not at all dilated. It doesn't mean your LO will be early :)

Answer

If baby is that low you better get moving! Haha I would just get things squared away this weekend or your next off day so that you can take that off your plate. You might be going early and not have as much time as you hoped to relax or prepare so best to get things checked off the list sooner rather than later. You don't want to end up in labor trying to install a car seat or remember all the things you want to pack in your hospital bag.

Answer

Pregnant with my 3rd. My 1st was 10 days early,  my 2nd was 7 days early

Answer

My daughter wasn't head down until three days before she was born, and never dropped down. She came a week before the due date. It honestly doesn't mean anything

Answer

My daughter was also head down and super low. At my 36 week appt my doctor said she could come any day. I had a membrane sweep at 38 weeks and went into labor later that day.

Answer

I had a scan at 27 weeks and baby was already down. And I delivered at 38+4.

Answer

I'm probably a bad example put I literally had nothing ready til 40 weeks. My son came at 42 weeks when my water broke.
