I had an ultrasound monday at the hospital i am 38 weeks they told me most of her fluid is at her back end she is head down. is this normal the fluid?

Don't worry: The head down position is expected - you are about to deliver. If the amount of fluid is normal, it doesn't really matter where it is, and it is not surprising that it is not low where the baby's head is sitting near the cervix. Your doctor should be able to tell if the fluid is normal (amount) and whether your membranes are intact. Sounds like all is going as expected. Hang in there!!
