He was born 6 days late, everything was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23793 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:14:02 +0000 wife09mommy11 23793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 40 weeks today and baby has been head down the entire time. She doesn't seem anxious to come out anytime soon either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23743 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:25:57 +0000 tequiero21 23743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>count your contractions. i think my insurance company said if i get 4 within an hour, could be a sign of pre-term labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23658 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:44:54 +0000 CameronsMomma 23658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Where I am I don't pay, I suppose the goverment pays him. He knows I dislike him, and he will leave and not answer any questions whether I have a list with me or not, I've tried that.</p> <p>@Navy_Mommy: Because I'm a higher risk (and will likely have Cameron early), I was told at the walk-in clinic I got my referral from that if he was head down to worry. </p> <p>@Rosie Girl: I've already had braxton hicks a few times, but from the way they seemed they could have been real contractions (not painful, just tightening right about where normal cramps would be, 8 minutes apart, 30 seconds long on average)... My doctor doesn't seem to care.</p> <p>I'm glad to see everyone thinks it's fairly normal. I guess I'll find out if the contractions come back or at my ultrasound in three weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23575 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:33:05 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 23575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with LemonDrop - mine has been headdown since the 2nd trimester. She's still that way and it's perfectly normal :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23366 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 20:58:55 +0000 lemondrop 23366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine has been head down since early in the second trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23362 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 20:47:59 +0000 pelikila 23362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was head down for the majority of my pregnancy and it was totally fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23326 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:14:24 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 23326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had his head down my whole pregnancy. And he came 1 week late so I wouldn't worry about it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23310 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:49:04 +0000 Rosie Girl 23310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your baby will move a lot. He can be head down one day, and breech the other. I wouldn't worry about it at all. If you start dilating, having contractions, effacing, and your baby engages, then I would be worried :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23309 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:45:49 +0000 tequiero21 23309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm not there yet (21 weeks), and i think my babies were lying across the uterus, but i've seen the whattoexpect pictures and at week 24, they were head down. i'm guessing as long as the baby is fine being upside down, it's all good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23304 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:39:53 +0000 L2sweetpea 23304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They told me they thought my daughter was head down (by feeling on my stomach) but I found out at 40 weeks by u/s that she was breech and was most likely breech the whole time. From my understanding it's difficult to tell by external exam if they are head down.<br /> But it is normal to be head down. The baby is just getting ready. They can still turn and move around too so it may not stay head down.<br /> Sorry you're having difficulty with your provider. I would share that with him, and hopefully he'll hear what you're saying and better address your concerns in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23284 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:13:15 +0000 Navy_Mommy 23284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a reason you don't think its normal? They move around a lot in there, so for all you know in two weeks he'll be in a different position then go back to head down later on... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23282 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:08:13 +0000 MamaMoose 23282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant yet so I can't say if this is normal. Hopefully someone else can give you a helpful answer on that. I would hope your doctor would have said something if this was a concern.</p> <p>But on the topic of your doctor at your next appointment in two weeks I would go with a list of questions written down that you really need the answers to. Be clear and firm and let him know that the appointment is not over until all of your questions are answered. Yes he is the doctor but you are essentially his customer. You are paying him for his services as an OB and you have every right to demand that he take the time to answer your questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/head-down-29-weeks#post-23198 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:44:02 +0000 CameronsMomma 23198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at my 29 weeks doctor's appointment today and they did the standard weight, blood pressure, and heartbeat just like every other time. Then after he tells me Cameron's heartbeat is 138 and totally normal, that he's head down. Okay that's fine, but is it really fine? He told me he'd see me in two weeks and just left. So I'm left wondering is this normal that he's head down this early? </p> <p>I know by technical terms I'm higher risk (previous miscarriages, abortion, used to smoke), but this doctor doesn't seem to care (and no I can't switch). He also doesn't answer any questions I have and the nurse is so busy playing receptionist she doesn't have time to. </p>
