39 Weeks Pregnant

Your baby is most likely positioned with his head facing down and his bottom toward your ribs. If this is your first baby, your baby may "drop" a few days to a couple of weeks before delivery. "Dropping" simply means your baby moves further down into your pelvis, readying for birth. Some babies prefer being head up. This position called breech, carries risks to your baby's health during delivery. While you may still be able to deliver vaginally, healthcare providers often recommend you have a Cesarean section.
