Realizing this is probably a really stupid question, but I honestly don't know. My next appointment is next week, so I'll ask my dr. then.. just curious if someone can shed some light beforehand.
My last (and likely final) US was at 20 weeks, and baby was head down - but they told me he could move / flip lots before delivery, so this position could / probably would change.
I can't tell where his head/arms/legs are - can the doctor tell without an US? I'd know if he was breech, right? FWIW, I generally don't feel ANYTHING above my belly button... it's all belly-button level or lower... but I can't tell what's what at all.
Re: Stupid FTM question - breech? How do you know?
Thank you. This is exactly the type of info I needed. (Love this board!)

GSx2 for T&B - EDD 6/21/2015 - They're having a GIRL!
I guessed he was head down and facing to my left, and I was right. It's cool that I'm starting to be able to tell!

Just keep swimming.
hey, check out spinningbabies.com, and look into "belly mapping".
some of the info they want you to pay for via e-book, but i was able to gather from the little bits i could the general gist of things, and my mw confirmed what i had gathered from my lo's movements- she is head down, little feet kicking my right ribs, her torso is on my left side.
just some really interesting stuff, if you wanna check it out!
This. DH got so good at belly mapping that the last couple months of pregnancy he could hear the baby's heart beat just by putting his ear on the correct part of my bump. I have an anterior placenta this time, so he will probably just hear my heart beat if he tries to listen!
