Quick question!

MaddsM

last week my dr told me at my next visit shes going to do a small ultrasound to see what position my little man is in.. I was thinking about it and what happens if hes not head down? Idk why i didnt ask her but i tend to be forgetful (pregnancy brain) im 36 weeks and will be 37 by the time of my appt.
anyone have any ideas on what happens if he is/isnt the way they want him to be? Just want to be prepared.
Thanks moms and moms to be!

They may wait to see if he moves, may want to schedule you for a version (manually try to get the baby to move) or they may want to schedule you for a csection. At 37 weeks I asked my midwife to feel around to see if he was breech and luckily he was head down and low so I didn't have to worry about this. Good luck!

Okay, i had a feeling it may be a process like that but didnt know for sure so its good to know!
Thanks

I'm fortunate that baby has been head down since 32 weeks. I'm 39 weeks tomorrow, but at every doctor's appointment I ask my doctor to check if she can feel if the baby is still head down, just for piece of mind. I won't have another ultrasound until I'm 40+1. Good luck.
