I felt baby there and ultrasound confirmed. </p> <p>At 14 weeks, I used my home fetal doppler and noticed baby is now in the middle.</p> <p>I'm guessing baby was leftish but as he or she got bigger, they "filled out" my uterus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doppler-question#post-2569511 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 10:04:53 +0000 youboots 2569511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: ah, so excited for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doppler-question#post-2569426 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 08:56:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 2569426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E moved around a lot, but G was in the same place pretty much my whole pregnancy. I had to get constant ultrasounds with her, and from 16 weeks on the tech would comment on how she was using the placenta (which was high and anterior) as a pillow. She ended up being a breech C-section because she was too lazy to move, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doppler-question#post-2569414 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 08:36:25 +0000 FaithFertility 2569414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: This pregnancy with DS is so different, he is a NUT flipping around daily </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doppler-question#post-2569412 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 08:31:40 +0000 LAZB 2569412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I found him at 9 weeks with the Doppler and I'm almost 19 now!

It's just crazy that he's in the exact spot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doppler-question#post-2569290 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 22:17:33 +0000 Autumnmama79 2569290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby boy was in the same spot the whole time! From week 10 when I started listening all the way until delivery day at 40+3. </p> <p>Happy listening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doppler-question#post-2569283 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:53:50 +0000 LAZB 2569283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I use my Doppler (every few nights), baby is always in the same spot. I'm 18w5d, and it's been like this the entire pregnancy, although higher up now than when I first found him.<br /> Isn't baby supposed to be moving around? I can't remember how it was with my other two, but pretty sure they weren't always in the same exact spot.<br /> I also haven't been feeling as much movement as I did with my other two at this point, so I'm wondering if I just have a lazy baby on my hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1041334 Sat, 24 Aug 2013 10:19:12 +0000 lemondrop 1041334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could very easily feel his butt poking out from under my ribs. Kicks and hiccups helped too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040957 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 22:57:02 +0000 avivoca 1040957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can tell she's on the right. My chiropractor checks her position at every appointment, and the difference in the sides of my belly are very distinct. There is a lot of solid on the right and it's squishy on the left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040737 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 19:48:47 +0000 sslm 1040737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could never really tell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040730 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 19:46:45 +0000 allison 1040730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I judged by the hiccups, too. And also where the kicks were. He moved around a lot, side to side, but I think he stayed pretty much head-down the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040664 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 18:47:43 +0000 sarac 1040664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: I didn't realize that it what it meant until sort of late, but next time, it'll be reassuring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040635 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 18:24:53 +0000 Maysprout 1040635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have a doppler or stethoscope that can help you tell depending on where you find the heartbeat. I can usually find baby's back at some point during the day, it's long hard and smooth and she kicks up around my belly button, sometimes over it sometimes to the side but it's all around there, right now she's got a foot 2 inches directly above my belly button. It's a small hard thing that kicks back when poked enough times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040590 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 17:34:56 +0000 LaineysMom 1040590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was breech and I knew it VERY early in my third trimester.. All of her kicks were against my cervix and she loved pushing her head up. Toward the end you could SEE her head bulging at the top of my belly.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040584 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 17:29:30 +0000 Bookish 1040584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: that was my indicator too. When I felt hiccups in my butt (lovely) I knew she had gone head down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040450 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:06:43 +0000 sarac 1040450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could feel hiccups on my hip, so I knew that she was head down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040379 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 15:26:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 1040379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My midwife showed me what to feel for generally, but mostly I could feel butt and back (back was a nice smooth part, while the other side was more lumpy). She definitely moved side to side in there but was head down for several weeks before the big day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040246 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:17:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 1040246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: My LO flipped several times after 30 weeks . . . by 38 weeks (when I was induced), she was head down, but sunny side up. Hellloooo back labor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040174 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:04:24 +0000 MapleMoose 1040174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The doctor checked baby's position at my 32 week appointment but I know she turns and changes positions almost daily (now 34 weeks). The doctor isn't concerned just yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040057 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:42:12 +0000 Smurfette 1040057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor wouldn't even check position until 36 weeks since she said the baby can move a lot up until then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040051 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:41:15 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1040051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until baby's head is fixed, they could flip around in there! Our little girl rotated sides up until 38 weeks or so. I only knew because my midwife showed me what to feel for.<br /> My MW wasnt concerned about checking position until 36-37 weeks. Still lots of time for baby to flip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040046 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:39:27 +0000 Adira 1040046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I don't know what the chances are that they would turn back around after their head is down, but you'll probably find out at your next appointment. I wouldn't worry about it too much yet!</p> <p>I heard you can tell the difference between head and butt by putting some pressure on it. If it's the butt, it'll move. If it's the head, it won't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-babys-position-how-do-you-tell#post-1040032 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:36:45 +0000 Chillybear 1040032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 33 weeks along and at my 32 week appt the dr said baby was head down and her butt was just under my sternum and i would feel her kick up near my ribs. All of a sudden today i've been feeling BIG movements and in different places. Could she have flipped again? or may be sideways? how can i tell? This is not very comfortable. At what point do I become concerned about breech position for birth? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-breastfeeding-position-or-hold#post-433209 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:40:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 433209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>football as a newborn was the only way she would latch well! now we mainly do cradle. if i try side-laying she spits up on my sheets :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-breastfeeding-position-or-hold#post-433127 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:59:17 +0000 brownie 433127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the laid back style (they lay essentially stomach to stomach and I leaned back). We also did cross cradle and football depending on what was happening. </p>
