What Does Fetus In Birthing Position During 31 Weeks Indicate?

My first baby was born at 37 weeks. My second baby was born at 36 weeks due to my water breaking. I m now 31 weeks pregnant with my third and at my appointment last week I was told he s turned to the head down position already. How likely is it that he ll be early as well?

Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
There are two possibilities-
- Few women tend to deliver before expected date ( might be due to some physical making of birth passage ).. I that case, it might be the birthing position of baby ( which is 4-6 weeks earlier to delivery.)- In such case you would experience decent of baby in birth canal slowly but definitely.You should have a weekly check up for baby position by your doctor's consultation.
- It might be a normal positioning of baby( to be born at term which continues from 28 weeks of pregnancy.
Thanks
