I have TONS of movement right under my belly button so I'm assuming baby girl is transverse, laying face up and it's her knees that I'm seeing push and do those rolling movements..I'm just not exactly surebecause on the opposite end there's some kicks too...

Are you able to tell which end is up and where the head is??
 
I can't tell either. My doctor said that lo is head down and likely to stay that way. I get a round bump lodged between the bottom of my rib and top of my hip bone. It feels round like a head but I guess that is the bum. I feel kicks and punches everywhere.
 
I can usually tell because the head is harder. At this point they don't really have enough fat to have a proper butt, and if they did, it would be soft. At my last ultrasound it just looked like he had femurs attached to a pelvic bone with no fat.

I feel knees, feet, and little fists hitting me in different places though.
 
My friend is a midwife and she had a feel the other day. She can feel "bumpy bits" which she said is limbs on my right hand side. The left side of my belly is harder than the right so that must be her body - but I can't feel any of this stuff! My friend pushed pretty hard, I'm scared to hurt her :(
 
When I get movements I can't tell if it her head, hands or feet lol
 
My lower stomach is always more firm then the top and our little boy has been head down since mid 2nd trimester. At our 4D ultrasound, the tech said he was head down and facing to the right and that's why I am always feeling arms/legs poking out on my right side lol. Although, I feel punches really down low so he could be moving from side to side.
 
I could definitely tell when baby was transverse as there was a hard lump either side!

She turned from head down to breech without me realising, although I did comment that it felt a bit different. Now I know she's breech I can tell where the head is and it does feel different. Little kicks are down low but big jabs and bulges further up
 
I'll find out friday which way they are facing last one Baby A was head down and Baby B was breech. I still think A is head down and I think B turned head down too.
 
That's funny because I hadn't really thought about it! I feel a bunch of movements on each side and in the middle though. Sometimes I can tell the baby is completely rolling over because it's a big feeling throughout. But I don't think location of the movement will tell me which part is moving, because in my last ultrasound the baby had his feet way up by his head, basically kissing his knees.

Occasionally I can tell it's definitely the feet because I can feel two parts hitting.
 
I'm clueless :rofl: no idea what I'm being abused with from the inside.
 
No idea either! I have felt a lot of movement all over, like my Bump was getting pulled in four different directions all at once! So the last time I was checked he was back to back all limbs at front so I guess that explains the "starfish feeling"!

I'm not able to! I think at this point there's still room for LO to move around so he/she may be across one minute and upside down the next hehe. At my 20 week scan baby was transverse, 2 minutes later baby was head up. I feel something hard usually on my lower right side but could be any body part :dohh: I feel kicks on every part of my belly up right left down so he / she is still moving around alot :)
