Head Down at 28 weeks

Hi everyone,

I had a scan today and baby is already in head down position,

Is this where they will stay now until birth or is there still a risk of them moving?

I'm 29 weeks tomorrow

Thanks Grin

I’m 36 weeks now and every time I was checked after 28 weeks baby was head down for me too - which may explain why my ribs are taking a pummelling from little wiggly feet!

DC1 moved to a transverse position whilst I was in labour..... Thankfully moved back before the time came for pushing but things got a bit hairy for a while (with the MW telling me I was wrong)

Not much help OP but I believe baby can still move around quite freely until head is engaged (and even afterwards)
