I went to the doctor yesterday. And my baby's head is down. The doctor said that she is way down in the pelvis area. What does this mean? I am going to have my baby soon? I had really bad contractions on monday morning. The contractions were coming one right after another. And they were really painful. I went home from work an hour early. Co-worker told me to. And then by the time I drove home they were almost gone. But then I started to have contractions again two hours later. All day monday I had them on and off. And I have been sleeping alot more. When I got home from the doctor's yesterday. I tried to eat, but I felt really sick. I couldn't eat a thing. I went to sleep around noon and woke up around 5pm. Then went back to bed around 6 or after. And got up at 10pm so I could go to work. Is my body trying to get me ready for labor? I will be 37 weeks this weekend. I told my doctor but he seem too concerned about it. He told me that he wants me to stop working in the next week. But my husband and I cannot afford me not working. My paycheck is the one that mostly pays our rent right now.

Yes the head being down that far mean your close for sure. if he says to stop working I would. You wouldnt want to go into labor there. lol i know its hard money wise but to be on the safe side I would.
