If baby is high and transverse, why am I feeling "bladder checks?"

Jake is definitely up high, in the very top of my bump/belly, and has been lying transverse.
But I often get "bladder checks" and pokes in the unmentionables.
He's been measuring a week ahead, but it seems crazy that he could reach so far. Is it just that he's rolling, so kicking downwards instead of up or outwards? Or is it possible it's a ricochet of some sort?
I'm just curious...

Are you sure he's still transverse? My lo was transverse and then went back into the head-down position all within 2 days.
