@aine4h lol! I'll have to ask my midwife.  I'll be 25+1 at my next appointment in 9 days! Yay!  I know at 20 weeks the baby was breech for my ultrasound.  The movements have changed though from little feet banging on my cervix to my sides.  I actually think my baby is laying across now... I felt the weirdest sensations... Like I was being tickled from the inside all the way from under my left rib to my right.  The movements on the left side make me think its a head and the movements on the right make me think they're feet.  So, I THINK it was baby repositioning?.But since this is my first pregnancy I don't really know for sure.

@CountryMomToBe, I've no idea how to feel myself, my Midwife tried putting my hands where hers her and I could vaguely feel something but not as clearly as she was saying lol. She felt the baby's position for the first time when I was 26 weeks and she was laying straight across but I felt the when she flipped last week so I knew she'd moved from there.

I'm 32 weeks, I can differentiate little hands moving, and legs.  Her hands are way down low, punching my cervix sometimes, and her feet are at my belly button.  There's a hole in the abdominal wall in my belly button, so when I poke it, there's not much between me and baby, and both my honey and I have felt the little toes on her foot.  I can also feel and see her bum glide across my abdomen when she rolls side to side. :) The joys of a posterior placenta.

@aine4h How do you feel the position of the baby? And more importantly when can you feel baby's position?

My midwife felt mine this morning and she's head down at 30 weeks but they can move and change up until about 36 week's apparently.
