A member asked:
Midwife told me that babys head is 3/5 down, what does that mean? & does it mean she can be here anyday? i'm now 38 weeks

Station: The midwife is referring to the station of the baby's head within the pelvis. Your baby's head is deep in the pelvis. Of course, you can go into labor anytime. You are at term. The station, however, doesn't have anything to do with when labor will occur, though.
