Kicking my legs and near.. normal?

36.5 weeks.

Three weeks ago my baby was supposedly head down.

He mostly kicks toward my legs (very, very low) and near where he's supposed to come out. 

I'm guessing he's dropped because I almost never feel the movement above my belly button and have carried him low so have never felt anything near my ribs at all. 

Is this normal?

    Are you sure that you aren't feeling punches instead of kicks? I only ask because LO has been head down this whole pregnancy, but now that she is getting squished in there, she punches my bladder much more than she used to, but she still definitely kicks my ribs. 

    Since you are feeling the movement lower now and not so much up near your ribs, maybe your LO has just dropped and has decided not to use his legs anymore, and punch you instead! :)

    This baby has been very low all the time and the other day in the shower, I seriously got freaked out when I saw his hand (I'm guessing since he's head down) push out on my hips... well, it was actually right at my hip bone, where your legs tie into the trunk of your body, so it LOOKED like he was pushing out on my thigh! It was crazy! I had no idea that they could get over there or that low! but it's obviously possible!
