So at my 26 week appt. my ob said that the baby was head down ....

but now im getting lots of lil kicks sort of like punches cause they're not too strong ---

do u think the baby turned and is now feet down even though most are head down by now... or is he starting to engage--i can feel him a lil less than half way down there and when im sitting down feels like there's kicking or pushing between my leg and lower stomach sort of like he's trying to get comfortable down there and the way im sitting is uncomfortable for him----but i still get lots of strong kicks up high like in the ribs and all that---sometimes i can feel the kicks up high while feeling the lil punching like ones down there


what do u all think ?
Is anyone experiencing this?

Baby can still turn at this stage!

Mine did she was head down on 2 appointments then back breech! Last appointment thankfully back head down engaging.

Mine has been breech, transverse and head down all since 27 weeks lol.

Yeah same here, mine has been all over. Think lil one still has plenty of room and time for circus play at this stage.

Your doctor can probably tell you which way the baby is position by doing leopold's manuever where they feel for presentation by "feeling" your abdomen, though most just grab an ultrasound to locate the presentation. Good luck to you.

mine was breech up untill last week, now he is head down, i get all my kicks and punches low down, nothing up the top of my bump atall

Princess I was reading an article online: http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/calendar/week25

It said that it's possible for baby to turn at any point after 15 weeks though not "engaged" yet. So your lil one could def be facing down though you still have a long way to go. And it's possible for them to move in and out of this position as the weeks go by.

HTH, thought I'd come back and post the link for ya.

Mine has been head down and engaged for a while now. I always tend to feel bigger movements nearer the top, and softer movements down in my hips. MW said that the softer movements are probably his hands, whereas the bigger movements are probably feet, elbows and knees. x

my babies been head down since 28wks and in same position LOA. so i have been getting kicks on my right hand side... starting to feel a lil bruised! at my 34wk appt she is now 4/5ths engaged. i seem to feel as if theres alot of pressure down there like i need to go to the toilet alot more... well im putting this down to her starting to engage.

ya thats exactly what it feels like===that was my guess too lil punches...lol
