Cervix behind baby's head?!

Question

38wks and 3cms dilated, not very thinned out. Cervix is behind baby's head. 3rd baby, 1st time experiencing that. Kinda got a membrane strip with her checking cervix but Dr usually doesn't do stripping til 39. Has any1 had issues with babys head in front of cervix?

Answer

It's just the way your cervix is tilted, (posterior) all cervixes are tilted that way throughout pregnancy and move to a different position (anterior) before labor starts. Some don't move at all until in active labor. Two weeks ago I was very posterior and finally this week baby is in a good position. It's normal!
