Head Stations

Has anybody been told where their baby's head is in the birth canal? I am finally just starting to drop and mine is at -2 station but he still feels rather high in there...plus my heartburn/indigestion is just as bad as its always been, if not worse lately. (Depending on what i eat) His head obviously came down a little bit and people can tell he is lower from the appearance of my bump, he just won't get out of my ribs and they are all sore!

    This chart might help make a little more sense of all of it! I feel like my little man is super high up in my ribs as well!

    I'm in the same boat! Dr said she was at -2 station, but I still feel her moving high up on my belly. We have really long babies on both sides of the family, so I keep thinking she's gonna be long!!

    I know my boy is low cause I am definitely FEELIN IT.
    But he still gets in my ribs sometimes, he might just be a long baby like me. I was 22 inches.

    So  being that far down means they have started their descent which is a good sign. Are any of you dilated yet??

    I'm at -1 and still have bad heartburn! I was shocked when the doctor said he had dropped because I feel like he's still all the way up there!

    I just learned I'm 80% effaced. @nalise88 I had to Google what that meant! Some docs just give more info.

    I just learned about stations this week! At my 37 week appt this week I found out I'm not dilated yet, but 75% effaced and at 0 station. We're thinking he's long too because he's still getting under my ribs!

    No kidding about the no info. I'm 38 weeks and have not even had a cervix check. All I know is baby is "head down". I think baby has dropped though because my belly seems to be a different shape (more elongated and less basketball like).

    At my 38 week appt. I was 1 cm, 60% effaced but she didn't tell me what station. She remarked how incredibly low she was though. It baffles me because I can still feel her playing my ribs like a piano but my bladder is also suffering so who knows maybe I'm carrying Shaquille O'neills love child.

    Don't feel too bad, the only reason i know this is because i specifically asked. I made a point to bring it up, otherwise they would not have told me how low he was exactly. All that was mentioned was that she thought his head came down a little bit...They also never tell me effacement percentage, i have to ask

    For a FTM, does baby have to drop a week or two before active labor?  I am almost 39 weeks and baby still feels very high up -- in my ribs.  I'm worried that she hasn't engaged yet.  Could I go into labor with her at -4 or -2, etc?

    Labor can happen anytime. Dilation, head stations etc are not indications.
