They start feeling from 30 weeks... It's fairly easy to tell which side they are on by where their back is, it should feel like a long hard area.
Bit harder to tell head from bottom. Midwives can do it and they say the head moves easier than bottom but I can't tell myself. I generally get all my kicks below my belly button and have never had rib kicks that everyone talked about so used to worry baby was breech, however at 20 week scan she was head down and she's been head down ever since at all my consultant and midwife checks! Think she must be curled up so legs still kick down low ish... Xxx
