“How do you know when the baby's head is down?”
I am a 28 year old pregnant woman. I want to know how do you know when the baby's head is down?

You will probably feel a lower pressure in the pelvis. The doctor can also tell you when you are checked vaginally
We are able to figure out the position of the baby by Leopold's maneuvers in the office visit. Patient herself can feel increasing pelvic pressure from the head of the baby. But that may not always be so.
I do ultrasound every visit. So I know exactly where every part of the baby’s body is.
Thank you for your question. Many moms to be can feel when their baby turns head down. Additionally, one can feel kicks in their rib cage area or tops of their abdomen as opposed to other places. To be certain of the position of the baby, one could have an ultrasound.
Hope this helps and good luck with the remainder of your pregnancy.

Your doctor usually does an exam or by doing a ultrasound to verify the presentation.

Most times, the mother will feel pressure in the vagina, but that doesn't always mean it's the head. Your doctor will do an examination and/or an ultrasound to confirm the position in the third trimester.
