Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
10 lunar months are counted as for pregnancy i.e.280 days.
As I have noted that due date of delivery is not fixed at all so don't take any botheration at this time.
Further the head or other part of baby fixed as soon as labor pain commence.
At the time of labor pain doctor examine his patient and adjudge the circumference of presenting part of baby and pelvic diameter of mother .
If head of baby is smaller then pelvic diameter child will deliver smoothly .
If presenting part ( head or breech ) is larger then pelvic part then doctor will opt for other option as caesaerian or forceps delivery.
All these things are adjudged at the time of delivery depending upon the condition of mother and baby.
Eat healthy, get prenatal check up and consult your trusted gynaecologist and baby will deliver normal , good luck for you and baby.
