Random 1am ?- Babys head is really low

Does that mean anything for how my labor will go in the grand scheme other than he's not breech? Just curious, my OB thinks it's good but isn't doing cartwheels about it or anything. Happy Thursday!

Re: Random 1am ?- Babys head is really low

  • This baby #3 was much lower than my other two all throughout the pregnancy. Her head was out within 2 pushes, one more push for her shoulders. However, I also didn't have an epi this time, which made a huge difference in the progression of my labor.

  • Being engaged definitely helps progress and pushing. It can happen during labor though, so definitely good, but not like baby's going to fall out or anything ;-)

  • With both of mine i was really low at the end. It helped with pushing for sure! My first i got out in 3 pushes and my second it took only 4! This time around my LO was so low that he came out with a cone head!
