How are you able to tell where your baby is in tummy?

Question

I read lots of comments of women who know based off the kicks of their baby what position they are in. I cannot tell?!
I am currently 32 weeks and I do know everytime I go to my OB appointments she usually finds the heartbeat near the lower right of my belly button or just beside it and I feel "kicks" from my baby "down below" as well as hiccups down there. 🤔 The place of hiccups never seem to change but the "kicks" are usually on the left side of my belly or "down below" Do babies ever punch with their hands? Or is every jab a kick with their feet?

Answer

I can't tell where he is. I swear he has like 15 arms and legs! I feel kicks and jabs and punches everywhere .

Answer

They can totally punch! And sometimes they can even have their feet up by their heads since they're crazy flexible. Sounds like your baby is head down with her spine towards the front right side of your belly.

Answer

I would say your baby is head down she probably just doesn't stay in one spot my baby is head down on the left side and had been that way since my first ultrasound my placenta is on my left side by my hips so that's the only way she can be and when I feel my belly I can feel her head in my pelvic and back and butt on my left side up to my ribs so everything on my right side is her arms and legs in 33 weeks hope this helps

Answer

I can feel hiccups down right by my bladder so I know her head is there. I feel jabs everywhere so I think she may move her feet at times. I can tell that bigger ones are usually up top so I think her feet are usually there. Sometimes the lower jabs I like to think are her hands moving lol. When I have Braxton hicks I can tell one side sticks out more so I'm pretty sure that's where her body is. The midwife at my appt this week said she is head down and asked if I feel most kicks up top so I guess I am right in my thinking?

Answer

You can feel bum head and back if you press

Answer

Babies are very flexible and have room to move around so you can't tell from their kicks as to what position they're in

Answer

My doctor told me they usually take the heartbeat from the babies back, at this point. I believe because the baby is so big, it's the only way they can get access to a heartbeat. He has been finding the heartbeat just above my belly button, on left side. He thinks her head is down and her spine is curved to my left. I feel kicks only on one side of my belly (the right). Ask your doctor. It's cool to understand.

Answer

My baby is head down and completely folded over so his head his hands and his feet are all in the same area, we saw it on ultrasound! Sometimes he shifts and I feel knees by my belly button or a little higher when he's stretching out. There's a way to mark your belly according to the movements you feel o believe it's called belly mapping, I saw an article on it on Pinterest.

Answer

Ask your doctor to show you! Mine showed exactly where his head was and had me feel it.
