Baby dropping super low and is upside down
I went into the assessment unit yesterday with reduced movements. Long story short baby is fine just possibly more tired than usual but they kept commenting about how low down he is and that he’s unside down and facing my back. I’m 35w and 1 day and they have moved my growth scan to Monday to double check as there’s always been a possibility he could come early. Should I be preparing for him to come soon ? He was not engaged yesterday but looking like he was going to. This is my first baby so I really don’t know 😅

Engaged doesn’t mean labour is near just incase you didn’t know x
My first baby was really low for weeks. Midwives kept saying I wouldn't make my due date. She was 10 days overdue 😅 so definitely not a guarantee but every baby is different! X
@Mary I have low pappa-a hormone which can be associated with earlier births and smaller babies. The deficiency isn’t severe and so far up until recently hasn’t affected baby at all x
@Natalya thank you as I really just didn’t know x
@Rachel aww bless, yeah I just wasn’t sure but I know ultimately I’m working to babies own timeline and he will come when he feels ready to 😊

I’m not sure but I’m very similar to you 35.5w and baby was partially engaged at my last appt in the same position and also reduced movements! When you say there’s always been a chance he could come early is that for some other reason?
