What body part is this?

My midwife has had trouble trying to determine where my baby is positioned. There is a hard lumpy thing near the top of my uterus that is about 1.5 inches in diameter which seems much too small to be his head or his rear. He hiccups really far down low inside near my pelvis, so I'm thinking he must be head down, but how do I know?

I'd really like to know what this hard lumpy thing is?? Could it possibly be his rear? I don't think it's a knee because it's perfectly round like a head, just so small...Anyone have a clue?? I'm really perplexed.

The MW said that if they can't figure out where he's positioned at the next appointment, they will do an ultrasound, but I hate waiting.

I've got the same weird lump and I think it must be his knees or feet but my baby is lying back to back in the 'stargazer' position so all his limbs are forward facing! x

It sounds to me like it could be a foot that you're feeling. My baby is upside down with his back out to my righthand side and his feet at the top of my uterus, so when he moves I can actually see his feet and knees move against my skin.

Thanks ladies...maybe it is a foot...I went to feel for it again and it disappeared!! Have a feeling a head or butt wouldn't move that quickly!
