To be honest I didnt think they went head first til a lot later and will still keep moving as long as they have room! Think maybe the term I was looking for was "engage" lol
Have you got a midwife appt soon so you can ask her?
Ive had my lo now but I didn't feel Holly kicking my ribs at all because I had an anterior placenta and deffo lesser movements in the last few months and I deffo didn't feel my baby turn.
I think its after 30ish weeks you sould be able to feel 10 kicks a day. I remember going into hospital at 27wks to get monitored and was told it wasn't a very good reading because the baby was still small so they sent me for a scan.
I wouldn't worry to much hun but if it does start to niggle you get in touch with your midwife and ask her, thats what she is there for. Good luck hun and take care xxx
I went for my 4d scan today and my lo is head down but lying on the side. Weird boy - lol. He does kick me up high so it makes sense really, when I was watching the scan screen he was punching out and I could feel the movements low down so he's definitely head down.
Tbh I think he is gonna be a big boy, and that is why he has gone head down already although he could move of course!
At 28 weeks there is loads of time for lo to move, most babies turn by about 36 weeks, it is only then that they look into c-section. It's defo not true that he will be breech by your due date. My mum said I turned at 34 weeks and my oh's mum said my ohs brother turned at 39 weeks a few days before her planned section! She had him naturally after all. xxx
if they think the baby is still breech much nearer the time, some consultants will try to turn the baby, or there are positions you can go into to turn them.
please dont let others worry you, everyone is different and every baby is different.
this doesnt mean you cant have a normal delivery x

After all it's the time they start booking ecv/c-section for breech/transverse babies so why do they bother checking earlier, I think it makes a lot of women worry xxx
Dont worry about the baby not being that active, it probably means its alseep alot so will sleep when its born! My friends little boy definatly didnt move 10 times a day and he was a fab sleeper from when he was born, whereas my daughter moved ALL the time, she kept getting hiccups too and she hardly slept lol.
