My LO is firmly wedged head down low into my pelvis. He's in the anterior position but leaning with his back to my left which has been his favorite position.
My LO is Frank breech favoring my right side for his spine/head facing my belly button and his arms and legs curled around on the left side. Basically he is curled into a little ball. His head is up in my ribs and it's quite uncomfortable when he moves now.
ETA: the only change I had from last check is that he went from feet first to booty first.

Head down now!! I did some of the stuff from spinning babies and am seeing a chiro trained in the Webster technique. Not sure if it helped but it hasn't hurt
Head down, seems to be facing the right way, but is very, very high - like a hand span over -5. (For reference, my son never descended past -5. Over 40 hours of labor, never descended past -5, never dilated past 5. So this is a little too familiar.) Will be starting things to encourage descent NOW instead of waiting until term, because I have very little hope of going into labor before my scheduled c-section.
Edit because my positive/negative station was reversed.

Head down and my growth U/S last week showed him face up. His feet and/or butt is situated right underneath my right rib cage and definitely favors the right side! My belly is constantly lopsided.

I woke up once with a lopsided belly. Whilst I knew it could happen, it sure freaked me out to see it IRL. Wish I had snapped a photo because it hasn't happened again.
My belly is also lopsided at the moment. Currently she's on the left, but she's still switching back and forth. As of my appointment last week, she is head down, but still high. Tomorrow we will see if anything has changed!

Please share how to encourage descent! I am super active all the time and was walking all day every day until last week for work. I still feel like LO is way up high (I'll know more Thursday). Is being active the key or is there something else I can try?

I wouldn't worry too much. My MW said dropping can happen on the day or weeks in advance. Walking lots is beneficial anyway. I wish I had your energy!

Thank you! I've just been slightly worried since I'm a FTM and everything I've seen says we tend to drop earlier. I'm not too concerned, but if there's something I can do to help it along, I will. I probably don't have the energy for a ton of walking anymore - I don't know how I kept it up for work for so long.

First article boils down to chiropractic care (got LO from transverse to head down for me in a matter of minutes, plus it's about as relaxing as a massage for less money and no being naked around strangers), support belt, time on all fours, hydrate (and explains WHY you'd want to encourage descent. My last labor, the baby never descended, which meant the proper pressure was never applied on my cervix, which is why I didn't dilate past 5. With that past experience, it's worth putting in the extra effort.) Everything else says walking, squats, pelvic tilts and using a birth ball (standard prenatal exercise, basically). Of course, I did all the latter stuff last time to no avail...
There's a good chance it'll have no effect, but I'm willing to try.

Last week she was head up with her butt in my pelvis. I was scheduled for C-section next week (I'll be 39 weeks 1 day)and I go in for a check again tomorrow. I'm not sure where she's at right now but there was a WHOLE LOT of squirming, pressure and sharp pains around my cervix this morning. She has been non stop moving for the last 2 hours so I'm hoping she's doing some position changes up in there!

This is me exactly even with the same c-section scheduled at 39+1! My LO still moves quite a bit but every morning I wake up with his head bulging out by my right side so I know he's still tucked in there head up.
Head down and still posterior position. I've been doing stuff from Spinning Babies, but no results. My first son was ultimately born posterior as well so I'm just wondering if that's how my babies are.
At my last Ultrasound (36 weeks, I am not 38w 3 days) Baby Girl was head down and had been head down since 32 weeks. I have another OB appointment tonight, but it seems like she is staying in that position. Lets hope that I am semi dilated or something because the pressure is insane!!
I've been spending so much time on hands and knees trying to get this baby into position. He's still resting on his side but hopefully at some point gravity gets his back to rotate out to my belly. I feel a lot of pressure the last few days to the point of waddling at a decreased pace. I kind of hope she checks me Friday and there is progress.
Head down and my growth U/S last week showed him face up. His feet and/or butt is situated right underneath my right rib cage and definitely favors the right side! My belly is constantly lopsided.
this is my baby girl exactly. head down with the butt sticking out on my right side so completely lopsided belly. has been this way for a while now.
My little dude is vertex, favoring my left side. I keep getting the lopsided tushy bulges under my left ribcage and the little ninja heels on the right. He's been facing my right for a few weeks now and doesn't seem to have any plans to turn toward my front or back.
No clue on station since MWs haven't done any internal checks yet. My coworkers keep saying it looks like he's dropped, but I'm not feeling super pelvic pressure (and my heartburn is still wicked bad from the pressure up there). I do know that LO's face was squished up against my bladder during BPP last week, but no clue what that could possibly translate to re: station haha.

She has been hanging out with her back along my right side, head down for a few weeks now. I have no idea where she is at as far as station since I haven't had any internal checks. My midwives told me to spend some time on all fours if I start feeling like she has her feet and hands out towards my belly, but so far it seems she likes it where she is.

At my appointment today, I found out LO is head down (woot!) and at a -3 station. But we still technically have 4 weeks, so my doc seemed pleased. Plus, I now have additional confirmation other than the constant rib kicking and low hiccups that I've been feeling, so it's good to know. I'm planning on sitting/rocking on the yoga ball for the next few weeks to get him down into a lower position.
Head down at -2 station and she's facing my back now! She's favored my right side a lot but now she's apparently on my left, which I had a feeling she was based on movement.

Baby is head down with back on my right side. All of my kiddos have been face up so I am thinking this one will be too. And I am wondering if positioning is why I haven't gone into active labor yet even though I am almost 6cm. So I have been doing figure 8s on the yoga ball, pelvic tilts, and I am currently on my hands and knees in my living room shaking my ass and hips all around. I'm sure it is a sight to see.
