How can you tell where baby is laying?
Hi all
I'm quite intrigued by this... can you all tell where your baby is laying / what position they are in from your movements and kicks?
At our last scan, baby Angus was breech, but I think he has moved since as my movement is very different to what it was at that point. I'm convinced he is still posterior though - and has been all my pregnancy - it would explain my lack of bump (according to google anyway!) and also the fact I get SO much movement from him as his hands and feet are everywhere because his back is aligned with mine.
Lately, when I've been laying on my side at nights or on the sofa, I can feel little spurts of movement and kicks on BOTH sides of my body, quite far around too! Which makes me think he is transverse? But then when I sit upright, at my work desk, I get lots of flutters and wobbles around my belly button so that doesn't make sense!!!
We have used the doppler everyday since last Saturday and found his HB in the same spot everytime, just underneath my belly button and to the right (if you're looking down towards my feet).
I'm just totally fascinated by it and desperate to know where he is! I'm 31-weeks tomorrow - when will he get too big to move all of the time? Does he still have plenty of room to move around a lot? It certainly feels like that!

Lau - I too have a lop sided bit on my tummy! Its level or just below my belly button and as you look down at my feet, its a lump that sticks out on the left. What could this be then? Angus's bum?
I wish they invented small camera dopplers like the HB dopplers!!!

I can sometimes make out a foot or hand and know wheres its bum is- we have a family trait on Mums side of big old J Lo butts so think the baby has it too!
