Answer

He’s been head down since 32 weeks, and he absolutely kicks the shit out of my ribs

Answer

My daughter was always head down but she kept her feet by her head so I felt kicks down low and was always worried she flipped. Towards the end tho I never really felt kicks, it was more just stretches and poking her butt/back out. I never felt her in my ribs until actual labor

Answer

Mainly in my stomach right now but occasionally my ribs. Currently 29 weeks.

Answer

With my first she was always head down and I always felt her kicks towards my sides (between my belly button and side). This second pregnancy I feel the same thing so far.

Answer

Depends how far along you are. I am 38 weeks and I for sure feel them on my side for a while now, I mostly feel his bum in my ribs. But if baby is still shorter, yes you feel kicks in ribs.

Answer

Yes I do

Answer

My second was transverse until sometime between 37-38 weeks. When he went head down, he kept his body is a pretty tight C shape, I still felt most of his kicks on my side and not up in my ribs.
