Baby sticking legs out straight-- normal?

bunnymama625

Other than extremely painful, I'm starting to wonder if this is normal....

I can feel the baby's hip/butt above my belly button pretty easily, and her constant hiccupping tells us she's head down- but she does this strange thing where she pushes her legs out straight and pushed against my side-- you can literally feel her hip shove one way and her leg the other and almost feel the whole length of that leg.

Has anyone else had this? I let loose a stream of cursing to make any sailor proud when she does it- she's clearly getting way too big for this kind of thing, but she keeps doing it!

I keep trying to convince her: "baby-- have you heard of the fetal position? you curl your legs up? I hear its very comfortable!".... no luck.

YES! I wasnt sure what was going on but with the ultrasound and nurse explaining his position to me we figured it out. His head is down low, butt right by my belly button and feet right at my side, just like you are describing

LMAO! Mine just keeps rolling around in there.  I don't know what's his feet from his arm from his butt from his back.

My baby does this. She is head down and mainly on my right side. Her foot will stick out of my left side. Everyone can feel it and sometimes she stretches real good and I have a bump that REALLY sticks out to where you can see it from across the room. It really hurts when she stretches all the way out. I didn't know my skin could stretch so far!

Ya, my baby's butt is just above and to the right of my belly button, and then her legs are sticking out at my right side... to the point where i'm amazed her legs are that long!!

i know she is head down and low, i know where her but is - butt otehr then that, i have no idea how she gets into the nooks and crevises she finds in my body - she is stretch legs straight into my ribs, and tickling my sides and my hip joins at the same time. I worry that she has a million legs and arms
