If your baby has turned head down, where do you feel movement?

Question

Our girl was breech at our 31 weeks appointment. I have not felt any movement near my ribs before, only on the left side of my body & on my lower stomach, but today I've felt a little something just below my ribs on the right side... I'm waiting anxiously for her to turn as I'm terrified of a possible c-section or an ECV! I want to give birth naturally without any pain medication but she needs to turn for that to work out 😅

My first kid was breeches and she spent all her time stomping on my bladder and jamming her head into my ribs, but other than that she was pretty still. This kiddo is head down and while I get really bad pain in my ribs from her stretching her feet into them most of the movement is in the lower half of my stomach, although it's spread out all over.

My lo was head down from 25 weeks on and even at the very end I never felt her in my ribs. She was on my right and I obv could feel her legs and feet on my left. She was just balled up I guess because I never felt kicks up high. I'm thankful she was never kicking my ribs!
