    Just wondering

    I had a check-up at 36 weeks and bub was head down (a relief after being told he was breech at my 34 week check-up). So, I was just wondering if he's head down now, how likely is he to stay head down?

    I think the chances are pretty good!! Has he moved down into your pelvis? if so, he'll be stick there

    Generally they stay, as their heads are the heaviest part of their body and once gravity take hold you'd have to have a pretty stubborn (and strong! lol) bub to turn back around!

    No idea if he's moved into my pelvis - think he may have just started to, but midwives didn't say anything about it at last appointment. Thanks Great news to hear he's likely to stay head down!

    Hey Sterla, not likely he will turn now. Not a lot of room left to play any more!!!!
    He should be just about ready for his downward ride now.

    Hollo - still plenty of time for bub to do lots of circle work

    Hollo- I think bub still could move but probably won't. Mine has been head down from 28 weeks and hasn't moved, as far as I know.
