Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. My last menstrual period was on June 4th. The doctor calculated my due date as March 11th. A few days ago, I had an ultrasound, and the date was February 15th. The doctor said the baby's head is low, and the difference between these dates is nearly a month. What does it mean for the baby's head to be low? Is premature birth bad? What should I do?First follow-up question: The baby's head has already engaged (entered the pelvis). Does this mean the baby is already mature?
Second follow-up question: But according to the dates, there are still about two months left. Is premature birth bad?
Doctor's answer:
A low fetal head means the baby's head has engaged and is in a fixed position, which is a sign that labor is approaching. When the time is right, it will happen naturally. Don't worry, just prepare physically and mentally for the birth.
