A member asked:
I am 26 weeks pregnant and my baby has already turned facing head down. does this mean the baby will come earlier?

Not particularly: That is the position you want it to stay. The amount of baby/fluid is increasing at this point and a move into position is expected. You can still enter premature labor for a number of reasons and do need to have a plan of action should that occur.
