When does...

When does the baby turn? I am 25 weeks tomorrow and my boyfriends mom asked me today if I felt him turn yet. She said that she felt all of her kids turn and I would know it. She said with my boyfriend she was eating and went to go throw up when it happened because if the pressure. I was just wondering...

I didnt feel my little one flip... Or at least I dont think I did. I had a u/s done at 28 weeks that told me he was head down.

You won't feel a turning.. You'll feel normal movement... You might feel something like a "somersalt" type feeling.....

I am 32w, and as far as I know, the baby is still breech.  I have an appointment tomorrow morning, so hopefully the doc will say that he is engaged into position, but I have not felt any "turning" sensation!

They are alway's moving.... But usually, if baby is butt first as you draw near... They usually turn themselves between 35-38 weeks to get into position for birth.. Although, could be like my nephew... He was head down at the last appt. and then he turned and was breech.. So he was a c-section baby.......

They actually turn around a whole bunch at this stage. However not everyone feels them "turn" because sometimes when they get big they stay head down. My little one used to do flips until she got herself stuck in the breech position. Usually babies with turn before 38 weeks.... but it isn't until your in the last 30's that when they turn you'll know.
