And I could tell that because the dr has been able to find the best heartbeat in the lower left quadrant. And when I had my 34w check up 2 weeks ago, she did an ultrasound, and I asked her to point out how the baby was positioned. She said that the baby was head down with the spine on the left, butt on the left, feet on the right. Otherwise, I'd probably still be guessing! The feet are a stronger movement than the hands -- at least according to my experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168585 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:27:34 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 168585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The doc would tell me after every appt.<br /> Baby was head down majority of my pregnancy. Just like her brother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168529 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:02:34 +0000 banana 168529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.wagon: I remember those middle of the night hiccups. Those were annoying cause I couldn't sleep! But the ones during the day were cute. </p> <p>@pregnantbee: How cool that you're so in tune with your baby's movements! I feel bulges here and there and I have no club what they are! The big ones I assume are her butt? But I can't tell between the hands and feet. How can you tell? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168513 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:58:14 +0000 chopsuey 168513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: okay I'd find them annoying too then, :D LO only had the hiccups for a few minutes before we went to bed. :D<br /> I got the weird shivering/spasming feelings too. I HATED IT! Made me feel so nasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168508 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:54:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 168508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Wagon Jr. would literally have them for HOURS!!!! It was cute at first but towards the end I was literally up until 5am every single night :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168500 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:52:27 +0000 chopsuey 168500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: How could you think hiccups are annoying?! I thought they were the cutest thing ever! HAHA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168498 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:51:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 168498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I have no idea what that fluttering is... almost feels like she's shivering! I do NOT miss the hiccups though. Wagon Jr. had them pretty much EVERY night towards the end and it was so annoying!! I got so little sleep in the last few weeks!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168485 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:44:46 +0000 chopsuey 168485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was head down most of the time too! I only knew because she would stretch her legs out and tickle my ribs. It's crazy because when she was born, she ALWAYS had her legs stretched out! I thought it was the weirdest thing since most babies keep their legs bent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168478 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:42:35 +0000 pregnantbee 168478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I'm at 36w, baby is head down. I get all sorts of large jabs on the top half of my stomach, and I can tell when the baby is stretching because the top left of my stomach bulges out like the size of a grapefruit while the top right side sticks out at the same time. Sometimes I can feel individual feet on my right side. And occasionally some twinges to my bladder probably from hands -- that's a new trick! And baby does get hiccups, and when that happens, I only feel them low below the bump.

Those were fun! Maybe they start hiccuping later in pregnancy? I was pretty sure it was earlier on with my son. Those flutters are so weird right? Like are they moving their feet SUPER SUPER fast or something? I can never figure out what that is!! There's no way a baby could move their hands/feet that FAST! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168412 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:21:43 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 168412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is heads up, with her head stuck under my ribs. I don't think she's ever been heads down since she started getting larger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168403 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:18:00 +0000 LuLu Mom 168403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Head is under my ribs right now, feet on bladder....so comfy haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168386 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:13:52 +0000 mediagirl 168386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's head down. Now that we're getting closer, she is much more active. Who says the baby movements slow down the further along you get! She wiggles and jabs my belly. I think I've been lucky - no rib jabs! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168305 Thu, 24 May 2012 18:51:12 +0000 leelee 168305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been head down since 27 weeks. Fingers crossed she stays that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168270 Thu, 24 May 2012 18:39:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 168270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: omg we are SO TWINS. I feel those ten flutters too! I have no idea what that is! And no hiccups yet even though I felt them all the time with Wagon Jr.! Every day!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168253 Thu, 24 May 2012 18:34:27 +0000 cheesetomywhine 168253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tater Tot is head down. I went today and was told he/she is very low which is awesome though it isn't uncomfortable to me. His/her bum and back are up high on my belly and feet are off to the side. Very interesting positioning! I'm 36 weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168225 Thu, 24 May 2012 18:22:31 +0000 Andrea 168225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never knew! I felt like I should have known....like I felt dumb for not knowing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168176 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:57:30 +0000 matador84 168176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my last U/S in a couple weeks. At my last one at 24 weeks he was still breech. I've been feeling a ton of movement on my right side below my ribcage...can't tell what body part it is, but it is fun watching my belly move! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168172 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:55:34 +0000 banana 168172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@orvis18: Yeah, he might've moved then! :) </p> <p>@shimmer: Ok phew! I wasn't sure what those stinging jabs were. I was hoping it wasn't a UTI or something! Ok now I"m feeling a lot of movement down low. Man, I wish I could figure out if those are feet or hands! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168163 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:49:36 +0000 Shimmer 168163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Yes! I get almost a spasm when they punch my bladder, especially when my bladder isn't empty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168162 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:49:21 +0000 bushelandapeck 168162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: we went in on Friday for the ultrasound. He might have moved though. I feel like he's flipping all day long lately :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168147 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:36:40 +0000 heffalump 168147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never knew when I was pregnant. I just knew that something was hitting or kicking me, but I couldn't tell if it was a hand, foot, elbow, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168146 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:34:43 +0000 cyndistar3 168146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is still breech as of right now, im actually on my way to my midwife to try to flip her! I can tell she is breech because her head bobbles when I poke it and I get sharp pains in my southern regions when she kicks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168143 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:31:39 +0000 banana 168143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@orvis18: Maybe he moved positions since your last US? When was your last ultrasound? I had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and she was breech. But I'm kind of thinking she may have moved head down because I felt A LOT of movement a few nights ago, like she was shifting position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168141 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:29:50 +0000 bushelandapeck 168141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is breech but it's weird because I really only feel him up high on both sides. I guess it must be hands and feet? They aren't too concerned though as most babies are still breech now (29 weeks). If he's still there in 5-6 more weeks, then we'll be concerned about possible c-section I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168140 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:29:28 +0000 banana 168140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.wagon: OH Ok! I think she might be head down then cause I feel the exact same things you mentioned. Small little jabs in my bladder and kicks/flutters/big movements up at the top of my bump!</p> <p>Ok seriously, what are those flutters though? It's so weird. It's like 10 super quick movements in a row. What would be making those fluttery movements? Her foot?</p> <p>She always has her hands up near her face in all my ultrasounds too!)</p> <p>Have you felt hiccups yet? I remember feeling hiccups all the time with my son but I dont' remember what week those started. I haven't felt any with her yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168135 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:24:57 +0000 mrs. wagon 168135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I do feel a lot of jabs into my bladder, but I know those are her fists.... she always has her hands in front of her face during ultrasounds :) </p> <p>All of the kicks and flutters are above my belly button, right at the top of my bump! And I can constantly feel little bumps pushing against the surface of my belly.. I think those are her feet! Heels? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168133 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:23:46 +0000 banana 168133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shimmer: Oh! I wonder if the jabs are her hands then! Do the bladder jabs sting sometimes? Mine sting from time to time, especially when my bladder isn't fully empty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168130 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:21:26 +0000 Shimmer 168130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I feel "lighter" jabs down near my bladder and the big kicks up near my ribs. I figure the lighter jabs are punches! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-what-position-baby-is-in#post-168128 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:20:23 +0000 banana 168128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea! :( I wish I knew. I'm feeling a lot of jabs on my bladder so I"m assuming she's not head down yet? </p> <p>@mrs.wagon: Do you feel any jabs down there or is all the movement up higher (above your belly button)? </p>
