What position should baby be in at 30 weeks? (First baby, a little confused)

britt1986 · Aug 5th, 2009, 11:00 AM

As the title says: What position is the baby in at 30 weeks? This is my first and I can't tell if it's his head above my navel or his rear end.

I think at 30 weeks it can still be free floating in any position hun so cant give any advice

At 30 weeks it doesnt really matter as they still have time to move, I cant tell one end from the other either,lol!!

I am 30 weeks and she is transverse, head to the right and legs to the left but this can change...

Yeah no particular position they should be in until 37/38 weeks according to MW.. Mine head down with back round my right side & feet under ribs, I cant feel head but defo feet on right side. As get bigger position prob come more obvious xx

it doesnt matter what position its in as it still has loads of room to move/change. its only after 35-37weeks that the MW's are concerned about position.

everyone is right, after 35 weeks the midwife will check to see where baby's head is. Although I am 39 weeks and although my LO is head down he still tends to wriggle lots from side to side! I don't think that until you know that baby's head is down you can't feel the difference between bum and head!!

i'm 30 weeks and my baby is bottom down, but I'm not worried because as everyone says, he still has time to move x

djgirl1976 · Aug 5th, 2009, 15:30 PM
