I don't feel much movement yet (anterior placenta) but hope to start soon.

I swear she has to be sideways then go in for my weekly and am proved wrong. banana on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135641 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:56:40 +0000 banana 135641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mediagirl: i'm 26 weeks now and i feel jabs and kicks but i wish i could figure out her position!!

I donno what I was feeling, maybe she was burping or something.

My cousin always tells me where her twins are, they are both breech so she's like here is girl butt and here is boy butt and what not! lavender on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135515 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:03:23 +0000 lavender 135515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I could only tell after my NP or Dr would do an exam and would say "that's her bum" or "that's a leg" Rock n Roll on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135513 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:02:00 +0000 Rock n Roll 135513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I had a hard time telling with my first pregnancy, but this time I think I've been able to tell. I think I just know how newborns fold up now, so it's easier to figure out what's what. Also, now that she's been having hiccups, it's easier to tell what's going on where. My first was head down almost the entire pregnancy, and this one was breech forever! I could tell that I was getting kicked down low instead of up high. I could also tell when she'd flipped because I started getting kicks in the ribs. chopsuey on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135481 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:52:04 +0000 chopsuey 135481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I could never tell. I only knew she was head down because my OB told me, and she would stretch her legs out and tickle my ribs :) heffalump on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135477 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:51:06 +0000 heffalump 135477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I could never tell. Only when the doctor told me that she turned, it was easier to guess.

Kick, punch, wiggle... it all feels the same to me! I'm 28 weeks. duckduckkristen on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135436 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:30:01 +0000 duckduckkristen 135436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Around 30 weeks I would feel obvious kicks on my right side and a big bulge on my left which I figured was his butt. An ultrasound a couple weeks later confirmed it.

Before that, I had no clue. When she hiccups, I definitely feel it more down low, which is a strange sensation!

Sometimes my stomach bulges HUGE and gets really hard in this one spot and I think "there is no way that could be anything other than her butt." Other than that, I have no idea. Every time I get an ultrasound they show me her position, but I still can't really tell when I feel movement. volksgirl64 on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135378 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:02:41 +0000 volksgirl64 135378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm pretty sure that she's mostly head-down and to my left and her feet keep ending up in my right rib cage! I could be wrong but that's how it feels. cheesetomywhine on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135377 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:01:27 +0000 cheesetomywhine 135377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At my u/s yesterday I asked my midwife what position she thought the baby was in since I've had this tender spot for a few weeks and thought it was the bum.Turns out she thinks the same as me! Mrs. Pen on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135376 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:01:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 135376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I could kind of feel. I knew his head was down low my entire pregnancy so that helped a lot. My midwife would also tell me so that helped me figure out for myself. I knew he feet were up at my ribs. I could always feel his butt too, he'd pooch it out a lot and make a hard ball that you could see on the outside if my stomach. So funny :) winniebee on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135371 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:58:01 +0000 winniebee 135371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Around 26 weeks I thought I could feel a round ball (which I thought was his bum) on my left and I got most of my strong movements on the right which made me think he was head down his legs were on the right. At 29 weeks, my midwife said she thought the same thing. At 30.5 wks I had an ultrasound because of some complications and it confirmed I was right! A few weeks later I had another ultrasound and he was still in that position and I can still feel him in that position.

I thought she was still breech until my u/s yesterday when I found out she had flipped. :) banana on "Were you able to tell which position your baby was in when you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-tell-which-position-your-baby-was-in-when-you-were-pregnant#post-135329 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:27:40 +0000 banana 135329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I can feel kicks and jabs but I can't tell if it's her feet or arms or head or what not. How were you able to tell?
