How do you know whether or not baby is head down?

I can tell by where I feel kicking/hiccups. But not all women can tell. You can ask your doctor and they can tell by palpating your stomach.

I second what the PP said about hiccups. I feel them below my belly button and sometimes down by my butt (!) which makes me pretty certain baby is head down

I have never been able to tell very well myself. My midwives tell by feeling my belly. If you’re trained, it’s super easy. One midwife at my practice, since retired, had a shockingly good success rate at telling boys from girls simply from feeling their bottoms!
