Where is the most movement?

Question

I haven't been told if my little one is head down or breach yet. I'm sure next week I will find out but I'm just curious to those of you who's babies are head down, where do you feel the most movement? I feel most of my stronger movement up by my ribs, it's almost like constant. This baby girl never sleeps. I feel smaller movements towards my pelvis. Just wondering if this is a good sign that she is head down!

Answer

Probably but idk. Mines head down and I feel the same as you're describing.

Answer

I'm 35 weeks & 2 days and I feel kicks mostly on my left side, as baby girl is head down and back to the right side. I also feel a lot of pressure on my bladder and little fingers fidgeting somewhere around my pelvic bone! I can also clearly see when she shifts her butt from one side to another sometimes, her back just slides to the other side across my stomach.

Answer

Thank you all so much for replying!! I do feel hiccups in my lower abdomen. And kicks up top and from what I'm reading is hand movements by my bladder/lower abdomen. When you feel the head by your cervix does it make you feel like you have to pee for a quick second?

Answer

My baby is head down and I feel him kick right at the top of my tummy and if he stays still I can actually feel the outline of his feet. I also feel his head bump the bottom of my uterus/cervix area. I could tell he'd turned because of two things. 1. One night I said to my husband "I swear he's sideways! He's hurting my sides so much" then 2. Instead of feeling him get the hiccups up the top like I used to, the hiccups were right down in my pelvis! So I was right about him turning!

I went to the midwife the next week and she confirmed he was head down but not engaged yet :) Hope that helps!!

Answer

I have already completely dropped and haven't once felt her in my ribs. But I do feel kicks and punches on my lower side, and her hands down by my bikini line.

Answer

I was feeling light kicks down below and heavy/hard movements near my sternum and asked the doctor to check and sure enough he was head down. Good luck momma!

Answer

With both my boys I felt a cute little tush on one side sticking out and the other I felt a heal and toes. Definitely uncomfortable but it's nice knowing he has grown so well.
