baby's head is really low

[lindsloo]

Hi ladies, I haven't posted in forever. I am 35+5 and yesterday I started feeling a lot of pressure down there, no contractions or anything, and I decided to see for myself what was going on (please tell me I'm not the only one who has checked up there to see if they can feel anything!) and I can feel baby's head against my cervix. This is my first baby, is this normal? Does this mean labor is coming soon? Then this morning I started having bad BH, but they went away after about an hour.

are you sure you are seeing/feeling babys head? Ive been having pressure (terrible, cant barely walk) for a few weeks now. My dr told me its just baby head down. He said it doesnt mean labor is coming anytime soon, just that hes in position.

My doc check me last time I was in a week ago and could feel baby's head, he was checking as I have placenta previa and have been loosing alot of my mucus plug recently.

I have since been put in bed rest as he doesn't want her trying to get labor start herself and me needing an emergency c. Would rather keep the date we have planned it not only for me but for the baby as well.

So in saying all that it could mean baby is ready but it's prob best to get checked by your mw or doc just to be safe.
