Baby's position?!

Question

Hi, FTM here. I'm 32weeks and I know my baby is head down because I can feel his hiccups in my pelvic area. I was just wondering, if my stomach is hard and slightly tight does that mean his back is leaning on my belly and he's facing my back? Thanks

Answer

I felt hicupps in the pelvic area before we checked it via ultrasound, and yes, the doc  confirmed that our baby is in head down position. However, when I asked about anterior/posterior position (baby facing front or back), the doc said she still is going to turn between these two positions. It all depends on what position she ends up with during active labor. She might turn anytime between now and then. By the way, I'm 33+2 and my last ultrasound was done three days ago.

Answer

I'd say if you feel the hiccups down below and a big bum-like hard part on your left/right of your tummy then you guessed it's right. I feel kicks on my side and the back (into my bowels haha).

Answer

Doctors and midwifes can feel the position your baby is in.. 😄

Answer

I don't think there would be any way to know for sure without an ultrasound.
