Is it normal for a babys head to be up at 33.4 weeks?

Question

last dr visit her head was down and the dr said she probally wont turn because shes been that way the entire pregnancy now she moves (and it hurt really bad) but will she be breech or anything just wondering? one more thing she hasnt been moving as much and im thinkin its cause there isnt much room is that ok too?

Answer 1

Usually the baby doesn't drop until around 35 weeks. so don't worry to much about it. and the movement will slow down. at 34 weeks I went to the hospital becuase I didnt feel any movement all day but everything was okay! congrats and good luck

Answer 2

My little girl was head down from around 30 weeks... some babies wont turn other's will turn at the last minute... my friends baby was like that and ended up being breach they turned bub and she moved back around and she had to have a c-section... hopefully your little one will turn for you, or the doctors should try it any way closed to your due date. My little one slowed down movements but when she moved it was hard and hurt, if your worried go see a doctor to make sure all is ok!

Answer 3

My midwife told me that your baby should move frequently right up until you go into labour, she said if the baby doesn't move more then 10 times per day then you should go to your doctor or midwife. Its a common misconception that the bigger they get the less they move. I'd definitely get checked out.

About the painful movement you experienced, it may be possible the baby has turned but unlikely that she will have gone from head down to to head up. She may have just twisted from back to front or something like that. An appointment with your doctor will put your mind at rest.
