baby position ?

How would you know if the baby is vertical or horizontal ( dropped down ) my whole pregnany I felt movement on the bottom of my stomach nd up closer to my boobs, now I feel major kicks and punches on my left and right side( especially on right ) when she stretches I can feel body parts on both sides at the same time. Im 36 weeks btw.

No problem.  If you are finding you are laying on you side a lot. Try to change the position to lean more on your back. I stuck a pillow under half my back. It helped a little to be more comfortable. Then also try spending more time on you feet and knees  as this will incurage baby to hurry up and finish turning.  Then baby will be in the right possition to start getting ready to come. Just some advice to get past this stage a little faster. I know how bad it can hurt.good luck

Baby is turning... I remember that stage. It was frustrating as it felt like my baby was going to rip me in half sometimes.
