Not to worry. Babies are amazing and dynamic creatures! They can "float" right til they are DUE!!! (some of them). So if the head is not down now, it means nothing, at 24 weeks. IF the head is not down after 36 weeks or so, they may offer to "turn" the baby (Eversion or version). But you are NOT even CLOSE to that point yet, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. Relax, and know the VAST majority of babies DO turn head-down by themselves without incident by the due date....and also remember, delivering anywhere from 38-42 weeks' gestation is NORMAL!!!!

Best wishes and hope all goes well for you hon!

dun worry abt that too much.. the babys gonna make a a lot of move still..itll continue to swim in mummy's tummy.. be concerned w/ bleeding during pregnancy.. 3 of my friends lost their bbys here in the, cuz wen they attended d A and E w/ such complaint, they wer sent home instead...wer not assesed properly and lost the little angels.. sad but true.. bleeding is never normal in pregnancy...specially if its an on and off contractions and ur not even on the 38th..well, i had mine at 36 AOG.. but shes perfect.. bless u and ur bby!!!
