How can you tell what position the baby is in?

I am 31 weeks and I am having trouble figuring out which way the baby is positioned. My last US was 20 weeks and my doctor doesn't do anymore unless there is a reason to be concerned....

Any ideas?

I could tell by the movement - kicks in the rib cage, etc. Joseph would kick & stretch so I knew which was end was what.

movements....and at your next appt. you can ask the dr to tell you if the head is down. Mine just feels my belly and kind of squeezes my lower abdomen to make sure the head is down there

I get another sonogram at 32 weeks so I will see. Your dr should be able to tell you how the baby is right now.

I feel right under my ribcage on the right side a little tush, and the sonographer said I was right...

You can also tell by where you feel the hiccups. My little boy was breech at my 32 week sono and I knew it bc I could feel his hiccups up high. He eventually flipped and I knew that as well bc I feel them down low now.

At 29 weeks I had a 4D sono and the doc told me his head was down. Also, I could feel a big bulge on my right side which I assumed was his butt.

You can tell from where the heartbeat is too. Ask your dr at your next appointment. He should definitely be able to give you an idea - at least tell you if he's turned yet.
