Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Theresa and , I too barely showed and carried my baby very " tightly. " I was nine months pregnant and people didn't believe I was even 4-5 months pregnant! (I am 5'5 and have narrow hips.) Everett dropped early (6 weeks before his due date) but held on to the very end (arriving 2 days before his due date) so he was in tight quarters for a LONG time! My son has torticollis and plagiocephaly, and he was definitely born with both although we didn't realize it at the time. Anyways, there seems to be a connection between a small pelvis and babies who drop or carry low. It's too bad there isn't anything that can be done about this because I would love to prevent all this for baby #2, whenever we take that plunge!
