What is the April Forum 2024? ›

Vilnius, Lithuania, 11 April 2024

OB-GYNs and midwives divide the stages up into five parts, or fifths, with each measuring how far into the pelvis your baby's head has moved. 5/5. This is the least engaged position; your baby's head is sitting above the pelvic brim.

This can happen any time from 36 weeks, but in 50% first time mums, it happens between 38 and 42 weeks. For 80% of first-time mums, labour will begin within 2 weeks of the baby's head engaging. For women having their second or subsequent baby, the baby might not engage until labour begins.

So what holidays are in April 2024? So many! And we're not just talking April Fool's Day. There's Arbor Day for nature lovers (pick out a tree to plant on April 26), as well as the religious observances of Eid-Al-Fitr (April 9) and Passover (beginning April 22).

If you have never delivered a baby, dropping usually occurs 2 to 4 weeks before delivery, but it can happen earlier. If you have delivered a baby in the past, the fetus may not drop until labor begins.

Your midwife will note how many fifths of your baby's head they can feel above the edge of your pelvis. So 5/5 or 4/5 in your notes means that your baby hasn't dropped all the way down yet, while 3/5, 2/5, or less means that your baby is engaged.

The Antenatal Record, also known as the 'yellow card', is the official hospital record (and sometimes the only one available at the time the woman is admitted).

If your baby is head down and facing your back (OA position), you'll probably feel kicks under your ribs. You'll also be able to feel the hard, rounded surface of your baby's back, which will be on one side of your belly.

Can you feel when a baby drops? ›

Baby dropping may feel like a sudden, noticeable movement for some women, while others may not feel it happening. Baby dropping, or lightening, may make it easier to breathe and increase appetite. This is because there is more space in the abdomen and less pressure on organs.

The baby will keep moving until the labor begins, and this movement will continue during the early labor. However, the movement pattern may change. Instead of kicking the womb, the baby may squirm or shuffle. The feeling of the baby's movement provides assurance that the baby is doing well.

Odisha Foundation Day is celebrated on the 1st of April every year in memory of becoming a separate province on April 1, 1936. World Autism Awareness Day is observed on April 2 April to raise awareness about autism and educate people about it.
