head down at 34 weeks... what does this mean

Ok so I know its a good thing that her head is down now that means all is set for a vagional birth but... does this mean she'll be on time?? Should I expect her early?? Or is it just normal and we still have no idea... lol just curious I'm a first time mom and have NO CLUE what to expect...

I am 40 weeks 1 day and since my first ultrasound at 14 weeks my little one has been head down which is a very good thing but it does not mean the baby will come early sadly

Yea it'd good she head down but doesn't mean early, late or anything. My lil guy has been head down since 20 weeks. And besides back labor and cramping.. nothing serious. And I been dilated 1 cm since 33 weeks and nothing further

My lil girl has been dropped and head down since 29 weeks. I'm currently 36+5 with no signs of her coming anytime soon. It's pretty normal!
