Flashlight trick: take a flashlight in a completely dark room and move it over your tummy. Where ever the babys head is at itll see the light and follow it.
*capable in the 3rd trimester. Not sure about any sooner*
Anyway, i did the flashlight trick. I didnt get a reaction until i was moving it across the lowest part of my stomach right above my pelvis. Then the baby started moving side to side following it. Its still moving slightly, but the flashlight trick comfirmed that my babys been head down for at least 4 days now. Little one...are you getting ready to come out soon? Because this feels really early to be completely head down...

@mcrowell0970 so im going to take that as since my babys head down that it could be getting ready to come at any time. I wonder if its gonna make it until 39 weeks or if its gonna come before that.

@mcrowell0970 i kept on thinking at one point that my baby was being impatient whenever i almost went into labor at 26 weeks, but after thinking about how my baby reacted to those contractions i changed my mind. My body was being impatient. If it took my baby this long to face head down, im going to asume that my babys been taking its time and trying to go full term. At this point i belive itll depend on if my body trys to go into labor again early to weather or not the baby will be early.
