Induction tomorrow

Hi I am being induced tomorrow as i have had a lot of health problems and wanted to have the epidural first before they break the waters (I will be 39 weeks).
I am however getting a lot of movements like kicking in my pelvis area and down below...rather then by my ribs, can you tell if your baby is breech or can you get puched as well as kicked? it is all rather painful and i am in agony with the pain...thanks for your help.

  • Not too sure on this one Emma, the Midwives usually tell you where all the bits are. I am sure they will have a feel and try to turn the baby if they need to, good luck with the induction not long now til you meet your little one. Take care and let us know how it goes, I have 13 days til my due date and am very impatient cheers kellyxx
  • could be elbows?
  • it's more than likely arms or elbows as carlielaine says, i get kicked in the ribs and also have movement down below and baby is bottoms up, head partially engaged Let us know how you get on! Em xx
