Good newsss!!!

The radiologist called about my ultrasound pictures from yesterday and he thinks they're because I'm dehydrated - and since I've been drinking and resting more I haven't had as much cramping/back pain - thank god! Still I'm on complete bedrest until im cleared, which will most likely be for a few months until I hit my final trimester, because they don't want me working. And since the baby seemed relaxed still when the contractions were going on I don't think he's too worried, but I do have a question -
she said when she checked my cervix before I left that it wasn't dilated at all, but the baby's head was down there, is that normal??

Thank you guys - and EVEN BETTER news for me - I felt a distinct movement today! And I'm 120% positive it was him moving, I'm sooo happy I hope everything goes well - I get my doppler tomorrow, my REAL one that tells the heart rate and everything I think that'll help me be more calm (hopefully) :]

At my last ultra sound I was 26 weeks and my baby was head down.  After we left I felt him roll over... IT HURT lol.  My midwife said thats very normal.  Congratulations on the good news!  Anita

Completely normal for the baby to be in whatever position it feels comfortable in. Its still so small that it has much room to move around and can move as it pleases now. Its actually the position that you want the baby to be in down the road anyways, so its probably a good thing.
Glad to hear that resting and drinking lots of water is helping and keeping things in order.
Take it easy and keep us updated!

yes the baby is still so small right now that they do flips and somer saults and every thing so the babies head can be facing down one minute and then up the next at this point.  it is not until the baby gets bigger and there is less room that the baby stops flipping and moving all around the place.

Babys will move all through out your pregnancy. Not uncommon for a baby to be heads down.
