Bored Bed Rest Lady Question: A and B switch?

Bored Bed Rest Lady Question: Baby A and Baby B switch?

Did any of you ever have that happen? I'm not sure that it did or anything, but I was curious. Ignore me if its a stupid question, lol.

At my last ultrasound they were both head down with their heads very close. I could feel both distinct heads with my hand above my pubic bone. Then for a few days I couldn't feel anything down there, but felt a head off to the side. Now the head off to the side that I assumed was baby bs has moved into my pelvis, I think.

I realize that I can't REALLY tell a thing without an ultra sound and that this subject doesn't really matter, but being on bed rest they are my only company the majority of the day, so I spend a lot of time with my hand on my belly.

Just curious if anyone had A and B switch or if that's even possible. Just a fun question for my boring night. Thanks for humoring me!

Mine switched.  My baby B inched his head down farther than his brother around 30 weeks and was born first.  It was confusing at first, because they still called him B during ultrasounds (to track growth), yet the hospital called him A and his brother, formerly baby A, B.  

Hang in there with bed rest.  I had 9 weeks and it was hard, but worth it.

Mine switched at 24 weeks and never switched back. My more active one took over the A spot and basically head banged my cervix until it let him out at 34w. 7.5 months later, he's still impatient.

Mine switched constantly. I finally made the u/s techs just tell me if I was looking at the baby on the right or left, because that part didn't change. The baby on the left ended up being baby A and the one on the right B. They stayed A and B probably after 30 weeks or so when they ran out of room to move as much.

Yes it's very possible.  Mine never changed positions since baby A seemed to be very comfortable in my pelvis kicking and hitting my cervix.  The bolded statement made me smile as I remember those days.  Congrats on making it to 30 weeks!
