babys head in cervix?

So anyone who saw my post about my cramping and not feeling baby move all day the other day, I went to the hospital which led to them telling me I'm dehydrated which I don't see how that's possible as like I said I drink apparently an obnoxious amoof water as many of you told me was almost too much. Anyway! They did the BPP and she said that my baby had finally turned and his head was actually so far in my cervix that she couldn't even see it much less measure it through ultrasound. She didn't say anything one way or another about what that means but I never had my other two do that. I'm just curious what this means exactly? Since I am having the contractions that are sometimes very consistent could that mean he's trying to come already? I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow and he's a pretty big boy already. I have an C-Section scheduled for the 8th of June.

Yeah I knew they could be off on the weight but I wasn't surprised cause my first was born at 36 weeks and was 9lbs and aside from.that my Dr was spot on for the birth weight of both of my first babies. He was measured at 26 weeks I believe and was already 3lbs and that was confirmed by two different Drs lol.

Wow, yeah they probably have your due date wrong because that's a big baby (granted, the U/S weights can be very off) the last few weeks is when they grow the most too!

Its insane lol. I would hate to.be home alone no car AND have a 1yr old lol. I was thinking the same thing about maybe they got my due date off. They say he's about 6lbs and that was at 33 weeks exactly.

Im 29w2d...i went today and my babys head is so low they couldnt see my cervix either...they had to do a trans vag to get the length...its pretty common once you get this far...not to mention...everytime i stand up i feel like she is gonna fall out...they didnt seem overly concerned today...but my baby is just under three pounds at the moment...im sure since you have a big boy brewin its worse!!!

It could also mean they had your due dates wrong, or he's just a big boy and developed quickly enough to want to make his entrance sooner. Keep an eye on it, and watch out for signs of labor!

He might try to make his entrance soon. I don't know of anyone that has experienced that. Maybe some online research might give some advice, but I am not sure. I've been having a lot of painful pressure down there too and now it makes me worry that my little girl might be lower than she should. I have an ultrasound this evening. I wish I could be of more help and give better advice on the subject, I just don't know anything about it. But I would say be prepared incase he does try to come early.

This happened with my sister's last baby. She was very uncomfortable for several weeks until the little peanut came. It sounds like you have you body well trained since you have had a couple of nabies before. Take it easy. At your next visit just ask your dr about the scheduled c-section date, he may want to move it up by a few days.
