  • How to Tell if Your Baby is Head Down

    Maybe you’ve heard that most doctors don’t offer a vaginal delivery if baby is not head down.  There are a few ways to tell including Leopold’s maneuvers, heart rate placement and more — so let’s talk about how you can tell!

    BTW, one of the best ways to know where your baby is to get familiar with them.

    Kick counts is a GREAT time to do that (and your best indicator of baby’s well-being). Grab my cheat sheet here:

    Here are five ways you can tell if baby is head down:

    1. Ultrasound – this is the gold standard!
    2. Baby’s heart rate placement
    3. Leopold’s maneuvers (sometimes also called baby mapping)
    4. Vaginal exam
    5. Where Kicks are

    Remember, it’s not really just head down (vertex) or bum down (breech) — baby can be in other positions in the womb as well where the head is off to the side or actually directly horizontal in the womb (this is less common).

    This is a great conversation to have with your provider.
