Question

Im in my 39 week and Dr.says babies head is not yet fixed.Do i need to worry about it.

Answer 1

It just means your baby is not ready to come yet. Some babies don't do this until labour starts and others do it weeks before, one of my twins was fixed for weeks before labour and it was so uncomfortable.

Answer 2

women don't grow babies bigger than they can birth. It is extremely rare and a bit of a myth. Your baby can engage after labour begins...It can also turn posterior or breech or into a perfect position DURING labour!

So try to trust and relax. And if you are worried, do some research. Your doctor many not have up to date information.

Answer 3

Not saying this will happen to you, but sometimes a C-Section is necessary in this case because the baby is breach and can't be flipped or it is too big..Good Luck!!

Answer 4

Depends, is this ur first pregnancy?  I've been told that with the first pregnancy the babys head will engage a few days or weeks b4 labor, but with second n third n so on, the babys head will not engage in most cases until u go into labor.  There is no need to worry. The baby will come out.  All the best n congrats, the waiting is almost over!!!

Answer 5

If your baby hasn't dropped yet at 39 wks it could mean a longer labor and delivery or even that baby is to big to be pushed out naturally.  You should ask your Dr about it to find out what might need to happen.  

Answer 6

my baby'e head was not fixed even at the beginning of labor. i had a perfectly fine labor and baby. dont worry.
