Are you worried about your baby's position?

I am, but just because I can't feel her head and I don't know where it is. It kinda freaks me out. lol I can feel her kicks, rolls and what not. I can even feel her hands/arms move.

I am in between ultrasounds. I'm so paranoid that Baby A is going to flip, even though he really doesn't have any room to do so. He's been head down for months now.

[cavewoman]

yes! I am convinced he was trying to turn last night but couldn't or something.. I was in quite a bit of pain in nearly any position I laid in and it seems he gave up on turning because he's right back where he usually is I think. I can't wait for this ultrasound next Tuesday to see whats going on in there!

I just learned at our 4D ultrasound that he's still head down but he's sorta sideways or sunny side up right now. I'm not too worried because he has plenty of time to turn around!

I want to know too. I keep thinking I feel the head (or is it the butt) just below my belly button to one side or the other. Something big and hard keeps poking out there. If it's the head I hope she gets it down where it belongs before it's too late and she doesn't have space to do it or something.

I think she flipped but we'll know more next Thursday at my 3D.

So far, at every sono he's been head down. I'm not worried at this point.

I was worried until my m/w appointment yesterday. She palpated my belly and baby is head down, body wrapped around the right side of my belly with its booty under my right rib cage and feet to the left. She said that unless there was some trauma (like a fall or a car accident) the baby should stay head down. I was happy .

I've had three ultrasounds so far, and nobody told me whether the baby was head-down. (I didn't know to ask!)

I feel strong tapping on the upper right part of the bump, and I feel light fluttering on the lower left part of the bump.

Does that mean she's diagonal? (Tapping = feet, fluttering = hands?)

Same exact position as my little guy!

[Heder4789]

At my 3d u/s his head was lower right and his feet were upper left, so hopefully he'll stay that way until labor!! I can't wait until Thursday cuz we get to go back for a retry u/s since he was being stubborn at our last one!

[Frozendesire]

M/W guessed that baby is head up, butt down. We'll see where baby is next appointment. Not too worried about position now. My second and third were both the same for quite some time and turned just in time. Hopefully we have no issues!

[lillypad]

This little guy has been head down to the lower right and butt in the upper left. He's also been always facing toward my back.

I am not worried because I have no idea which way the baby is laying. If I find out that it's not head down, I will start worrying. I won't know until the end of February, at my next ultrasound, what's going on in there.

There's so much time left I don't even think about it. I know babies can turn a full 180 degrees even at the very last minute (not very comfortable from what I hear, but it can and does happen!). Pelvic rocks, walking, and other exercises can help encourage head-down positioning.

One woman who shared her birth story with our Bradley class had a breech baby at 39 weeks, they got him turned head-down, and while they were performing one last ultrasound before delivery, they were actually able to watch him make a full turn back to breech position! Yowza!!!

[luvmykids623]

I'm not worried about it, because I'm a c-section no matter what. But I was really surprised when we went to the hospital on Saturday and they did an u/s and told me Baby B was head down. Both babies have been breech since well before 20 weeks. I know that he had to do it sometime Saturday afternoon, because in the morning he was still breech. I knew it was possible, but with such little room I was really surprised. I can't wait until my growth u/s tomorrow to see if he's still head down (I'm almost positive he is).

[squishyhomie]

my baby hasn't flipped yet, but then again i'm only thirty weeks.
there is still plenty of time for the baby to flip.

and when it gets down to the wire, i'll start doing the massages on my belly to help
aide the flip.

[amylynne01]

I'm not worried because there's so much time left to flip. I asked my doctor where baby was last week simply because I was curious. She thinks baby is head down, and he/she keeps flip flopping its bum from side to side. I've heard this stat before, but she said that only about 5% of babies are breech/transverse when a woman goes into labor, so that's promising to me.

[melkissa2004]

Nope, we still have lots of time left.
