Head Down??

I had my 24wk ultrasound 2 days ago and they said he's head down already. I know he's still pretty small so has room to flip and turn but is it normal? I've had 3 miscarriages in the past so I'm paranoid this is the furthest I have made it. Also what did your babies weigh around 24wks mine was 1lb8oz.

My doctor told me that babies usually weigh close to what their mothers weighed.  I actually went past my due date,  and my little guy was 5lbs 15oz. His dad weighed almost 11lbs when he was born, but thankfully that had no affect of our baby. As far as putting the head down, he may flip still a few times before birth. That is okay and completely normal.

Its cuz my husband was a 10lbs at birth lol I was small but a premie just under 6lbs his mom is tells a scary birth story. But as long as he's healthy I don't mind a bag baby its just a little scary when you think about pushing and the possibility of tearing. Women have been doing it forever so I know I can its just nerves starting to set in. I'm a sissy when it comes to pain or needles.

Big baby? Aww honey,  don't worry about it. Babies don't start putting on real weight until the last weeks of pregnancy. They pretty much regulate themselves. I am those women that have really huge bellies,  yet my babies are not too big. My son was 4.09kg (that's coz his dad is 6'6 and I'm 5'7) This time round,  my daughter is measuring smaller than her brother,  yet my tummy is huge. Just thank God everyday that you are having a healthy baby. And just relax and enjoy your pregnancy. God bless!

ok weigth via ultrasounds are just guesses and have a lot of room for error in both directions. my son was estimated 5 pounds the day before I had him but when he was born he weighed 7pounds 15 1/2 oz so unless he grew almost three piunds over night. unless your baby is under weigh and under devwloped don't stress. also my daughter(I'm 37 wks tomorrow) has been head down since I was 19 weeks.

Well we were about the same, I think you and I will be fine (: I mean this app said she should be about 2.2 this week? But also said I've gained excessive weight when my doctor says I'm in the perfect amount. And also said my baby its right on track, too.
