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

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

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?
