If your baby is head down.....

ejh090305 · April 2010

Are you feeling most of your movement up by your ribs? I'm so hopeful that she flipped over and there is a ton of tummy bouncing going on this morning but it is all near my ribs, all over my belly button. TIA

Mine is head down, and I feel it all around my belly button and below.

LO is head down, and I feel most the movement up on the right side, but every so often I get rolls/kicks around my belly button too

Ruthgers · April 2010

I'd say I feel most of the movement (about 70%) near my ribs and sides below my ribs, but he does give me A LOT of bladder and groin punches too.

I feel it mostly towards my ribs and some way low down and then a few in the middle (I think it's more of her arms). I think I can tell more when I feel for her at the top of my belly. If I touch her it seems like it's a small area that jerks away quickly which leads me to believe it's her feet.

At my last appt, LO was head down and Doc said that explains why I feel all my movements above my belly button and up by my ribs. Baby had the hiccups yesterday and they were up high, so I am scared the baby may have flipped. :-( The hiccups used to be felt way low in my pelvic area.

Rachelilly23 · April 2010

I feel movement mostly around my middle. I only feel him up in my ribs now if he's got a foot shoved up there.

Pocky873 · April 2010

My LO has been head down for a while now and she dropped a few weeks ago, and I still sometimes feel her feet up near my ribcage area....in fact, I was feeling her drag her leg across my stomach up high around the ribcage/upper abdomen as recently as this morning.

This happened to me last week...I woke up and LO had hiccups and I felt them in the middle of my belly (I always feelt them almost on my left hip bone)...I was in excruciating back back that day and I totally think it's because LO changed positions on me overnight...thankfully s/he went back to head down the next day!

I'm told my LO is head down & the big movevments I feel are belly-button or above. I only feel some squirming down low.

Me too and his bum feels like it's up under my right rib area.

All this! Belly button gets REALLY sore sometimes...but I get way more kicks and bum bumps up in my ribs, upper stomach and chest.

Oh and I get hiccups near my crotch and bladder punches!

miss.jess · April 2010

I feel it all over but most of it down low. I think she rolls around a lot down there so I feel her shoulder bumping my hips and pushing around.

I had my doc check his position yesterday because I felt hiccups up high - baby is head down. The doc said sometimes you feel hiccups in different places based on the way they are transmitted through the fluid. Hope this is the case for you too!

LO is head down and all of his bigger movements are up by my ribs and a little off to the right side. Sometimes I feel little tickles, rolls down below my belly button. I also feel hiccups down very low.

WildcatPrincess · April 2010

Most movement is above the belly button where her little butt is sticking out. I watch it while she rolls around at night. Every once in awhile I'll feel a kick on my insides or some light movements down by my pelvis, but it's mostly up top.

Halen0804 · April 2010

I was feeling a lot of movement above my belly button until the last week or so. For the past week, I feel a lot of fluttering below my belly button. I just had an u/s yesterday and they said she is head down. The movement by my ribs (legs/ feet) was very strong and the movement below the belly button (arms/ hands) is much softer.

mbear511 · April 2010

My LO has been head down since 30 weeks. He is kind of in a 'C-Shape' with his head on my right side, his spine along my left side and his feet right under my rib cage on the right so I feel him all over! Most movement is right around the middle of my belly where his butt is.

I hope so!!

EricsWife2005 · April 2010

Mine is head down. I feel her mostly at belly button and above. Her hiccups are very low.

Eviebee · April 2010

LO is head down and I can feel his/her feet, knees and bum moving around high on the right mostly, and the arms and elbows low on the left more. Also that head moves on top of my bladder, ouch!

ejh090305 · April 2010

Sounds like my chances of her being head down are good then. I do get a lot of that rolling feeling lower. Can't wait to see next week what the doctor thinks. Thanks girls.

Lambie. · April 2010

Mine is head down. I feel nudges and pushes up by my ribs but I feel most movement down in my crotch/by my hip bones.

AmandaJane1 · April 2010

She is head down- her butt sticks out on my right side, just below my ribs and her hands and feet are near my belly button on the left side. She likes to kick/punch my belly button a lot!

This.

chazlewo · April 2010

mostly below my ribs, a little lower this week than last... rolling, stretching, some kicking. more pressure than anything down low. he's been head down since about 20 weeks and we're now at -1 station.

baybcakes007 · April 2010

Yes, he is head down and the movement is insane! I can tell when he rolls over, hiccups are very down low, punching my bladder and I can tell when his arm or hand moves against my belly or he elbows it and it sticks up so high now!

Lots of kicks in my upper right and sometimes when I have a cramp in the right side of my ribs I stretch and gently rub with my hand and his foot moves away! I can tell that his butt is by my belly button when he rolls, when he is curled up and extends his legs, just amazing!

Cytina · April 2010

DS is in a "pike position" with his feet up near his face, head down. So I feel all of his kicks and punches either lower or on my sides - sometimes I think he must stretch at least one foot up b/c I'll feel it in my ribs occasionally. His butt is easily felt in the middle of my stomach or off to the right of my belly button.

ericndarcy2009 · April 2010

Mine is head down and whenever he gets hiccups it feels like he's tapping my butt!

I feel movement all over though, both sides and from my ribs all the way down.

CMSullivan326 · April 2010

Mine is head down and has been since about 27 weeks. I feel a lot of rolling and movement up near my ribs and lungs on the left side. When he get's hiccups I feel it near my left hip bone and into my butt, plus I feel a LOT of pressure in my pelvic bone/bladder which my MW said is his head.
