Um, is this the baby's head I feel and is it normal? (some TMI)

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I felt the same thing in my past pregnancy, so I know it turns out okay, but....
I am 33w2d with #3. I ended up with a yeast infection that after a week or two of trying to self treat, I went w/ Dr advice and nabbed an OTC 7 day treatment. I started to insert the first dose with the little stick thing and not far inside I hit a road block. I reached in and felt, a couple inches in, on the anterior (front) wall of my vagina, through the vagina wall, a large, hard, round object...baby head size. I was able to manuver around it just fine.

I remember when my Dr was checking something out at about 35w with my last DD and she made some off hand comment that she was so low that she had to work around her to get to cervix.

I am trying to figure out anatomically how that is all working. Any thoughts?

Prior to your body gearing up for labor your cervix faces your spine. So it makes sense to me that a babe's head could be very low, even filling the upper vaginal area, and still have your cervix facing backwards at this point.
