My midwife always feels for positioning at my appointments, but she always asks if I have felt him hiccuping and if so where. Usually I have felt them down closer to my pelvis, but yesterday they were kind of in the middle of my belly near my belly button. I feel like she has used the hiccup location to confirm her suspicions that he is head down, but now I am freaking out wondering if he isn't in fact head down...did anyone's baby move OUT of head down position late in the game? I have my 39 week appointment Thurs. and will tell her about the hiccups...I would really appreciate an u/s to confirm his positions, but I am sure I am just being overly concerned...

bump?

@maybebaby: I don't think there's any way your baby could move that much without you noticing at this late point! Try not to stress
I remember feeling hiccups in weird spots and my baby was head down for the long haul!
-
I'm also pretty sure that if baby flipped at this point there's no way you wouldn't notice. It would be huge movement!

Your MW should be able to easily find baby's position by feeling/palpitating your belly.. head down AND posterior/anterior facing. I felt P all over the place the whole time so I wouldn't worry too much.

I would think it would be rate for baby to move so late. No room! I was worried too that she flipped but she was still heads down. They should check for you if you are that worried though.

Thanks, ladies, this is reassuring

I'm about a week behind you, and when my baby moved from breech to vertex two weeks ago it was absolutely excruciating! You would definitely know if baby tried to turn bc they have so little room it's really painful. I'd say you're good to go! We are so close

I think you definitely would know if baby has flipped, you'd feel it for sure!! I felt hiccups higher up near the end too, I wonder if you start feeling their chest move instead of their head maybe?

@grizz: oh my goodness!! so glad baby flipped
@sslm: must be the chest, thanks for the reassurance
