I feel kicks way down low. Does that automatically mean my baby is breech???

Question

I only feel my baby boy kick way down low. I'm afraid he's breech and really hoping I can deliver him naturally not c-section. Can he still flip? I'm almost 31 weeks now

Answer

Could 100% be baby’s hands!

Answer

Low kick like feeling could just be hands. Also depending on how far along you are your baby can turn a few times. Before baby is pretty stuck so I’d only start to worry when the doctor starts discussing different options for babies birth. But if you are concerned I’d say bring it up to your doctor at your next appointment and see what they’re thoughts are about babies positioning.

Answer

My baby is heads down and I get more movement really low, right above my pelvis, and some sharp jabs up high.  She moves her hands around her face a lot and it feels exactly what I’d expect an alien to feel like 😂

Answer

Id say theres a good chance that if it's the hands you're feeling down there then you would also be feeling the feet somewhere up top as they contibute to a lottt of the stronger movements
There's a chance the placenta is exactly where the feet are and it's muffling them (if yours anterior could be the case), but still, you'd likely feel the muffled flutters on a frequent basis
The good news is regardless of their position, baby can move so easily still and has plenty of time to turn head down! 
A friend of mine recently had an ultrasound at 33 weeks and during the 30 minute session baby did a full 180 turn, he went from being head down to head up by the end of it 😅 
I wouldnt worry mama, and there are always some exercises/positions you can do it encourage baby to settle in head down: rocking on your hands and knees, leaning forward on a birth ball at ur desk instead of reclining backward, and lots of walks all encourage baby to get cozy head down

Answer

Thank everyone for ur helpful comments and they are making me feel better. I just keep thinking it's his feet because of how strong the hits are. And I remember feeling on my other 2 pregnancys there feet up on my ribs. But this time around I do not get any kicks higher then my belly button and its so strange to me.

Answer

Bub can still flip for a week or two yet. However my bub is down and she clearly punches me in the vagina all the time.

Answer

Your baby can still flip! Saying that, I feel kicks at the bottom and the top and I know he’s head down, so he’s just punching my cervix or something haha.

Answer

My babes heads down and I sometimes feel movement up high AND down low at the same time. Or I feel her stretch out and can feel her in two different points of my abdomen. And sometimes she just punches or elbows and I feel it down low.

Answer

I have only felt movement very low throughout the entire pregnancy, and he is head down. You may just be fine!

Answer

It could be baby’s hands! I swear with my first I used to feel her nails digging into my cervix 🤣🤣
