a little confused?

So I went for a midwife appointment today, I asked her could she tell if baby is head up or head down, and apparently his head down? So I dont know if his flipped without me realizing or just is naturally that way? And if his head down why do I head now kicks and not high ones? All my kicks are felt below the belly button

Ha ha we said the same and when he arrived he was 21 inches and 9lbs and we can feel the strength etc in his arms still at 11 days old x

Yeah I hope it's just simple, if what I am feeling are punches holy crap he is strong!!

My bubs was head down from 29 weeks and he stayed that way, his bum used to nestle up under my ribs so his kicks could be felt further down due to being in the foetal position, but i used to feel his punches in my lower left side frequently so maybe thats what you are feeling x

I spose its possible lol they do really strange things!! Haha I've just been expecting painful rib kicks and instead I'm getting painful hip kicks instead! It may appear I have a strange little boy on my hands! :-P

That is a tad confusing .. Maybe they are his punches?? I think babies are very flexible and he could have his feet at his head?

*why do I feel low kicks and not high ones
