Is he head down?

Question

I have my next ultrasound Tuesday BUT I was wondering if you can tell if your baby is head down or not? He has been breeched. Today I have rib pain (left rib) and I can feel his hiccups really low. Does that mean he’s head down?

Answer

Mine has been head down at every u/s. Like her head is nestled in my pelvis lol. And I always feel hiccups in my pubic area... so maybe that is a sign? Hopefully!

Answer

Feeling his hiccups low is a good sign. They can often tell by pressing on your belly and feeling for his butt and shoulders. They can also do a quick ultrasound sometimes to confirm and check fluid levels.

Answer

My daughter currently breech and I feel he hiccups low and only feel her kicks low

Answer

With both of my babies hiccups very low meant head down. That’s my daily assurance (both my first and this one had hiccups like four times a day)

Answer

Look into spinning babies.com they are great for positions ect to encourage bub to be in the optimum position

Answer

The doctor will tell you. My midwife personally feels and then has me feel down low where his neck is (his head is too down far to feel) so we know and we find his back, butt, legs etc so we know how he is positioned

Answer

I have not felt any kicks in my ribs and my baby is head down. I only knew he is head down from an independent ultrasound I did lol
