LO's positioning Check-In

[leenziepops]

As we all get closer to Time Zero, I thought it would be interesting to check-in on LO's position. So how far along are you? And how is your LO positioned? 

[Bluedaisy]

At my 28 week ultrasound he was totally head down. At 30 week apt. he'd shifted his head over toward my hip a bit.

[leenziepops]

At my 34 week appointment, LO was head right down into my pelvis and his back on my left so he was facing slightly right but in a more anterior position. I was happy about this because I have an anterior placenta and am worried about him being OP. His feet are also tucked up somewhere near my ribs.

Bluedaisy, pbubblegum, lightning quick responses!

I'm 32w5d. She's head down and super low and has been for a few weeks now.

32 weeks. Still breech. But I swear last night she was trying to claw her way around, but only made it to transverse before flipping back.

Pretty sure he's head down and facing my right side. I get a foot in the hip or rib on the right frequently. His legs appear to be as long as the distance from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my pinky. I'm 32+3, expecting a second boy. DS1 is in the 100th percentile to height, so giant long legs are nothing unexpected.

[ladymouse]

At 32+3, transverse. Ugh. At what point do I try the Webster technique?

[shahoi]

I wish I knew!!! I have no freaking idea! I had been feeling her hiccups really low, but since yesterday I've been feeling them way far over on my right side. Is she really laying in there sideways?! I'm 34 weeks...

35 weeks and head down - still switching sides though. Sometimes on my right, sometimes on my left. At my last appointment the baby was on my left, which is where LBB hung out around 35 weeks also. My doc says at this stage I'm probably good to go as once they're head down this far along it's difficult for them to flip back up (based on the weight of the head and fact there's not a lot of room in there!)

My MW told me the same thing that now my LO is head down, he will 99% stay head down so she was happy with that.

I'm a FTM, 33+5 and I'm really not sure. I think LO is head down and is definitely hanging out on my left side (where he or she has been forever). I feel movement all over my belly, but much more towards the top than the bottom, which leads me to believe that's where the feet are. I meant to ask my OB if she could tell at my last appointment, but I got stressed out after some less than good news and forgot. Maybe I'll remember to ask when I go back in a couple more weeks.

[mathistm]

I honestly have no idea haha. I'm 32 weeks and haven't had an ultrasound since 20. At 20 she was head up. Sometimes I think I know where she is or which body parts are hitting me but I really have no idea.

[sabrinaml]

32 weeks. Friday's ultrasound showed Extras head down (facing my back) and butt in my left rib cage. The butt has been in my ribs for several weeks now.

[teenybird]

33 weeks and our little dude finally turned head down sometime before my 32 week U/S. He'd been breech before that since at least week 20, if not before. I feel his little tush bulging on my left side and his feet pushing under my ribs on the right. I'm a small person (4'11"), so he's making use of all the real estate lol!

[txngrl31]

At my 32 week ultrasound, she went from transverse to breech and then back to transverse for the dr Appt. She is an active one! At 34 weeks, she is still moving positions a lot- when will she be head down and "locked and loaded?!" BUT I've been feeling her hiccups today pretty low and there is a bulge on my right ( maybe her butt?) . Hopefully the doctor can feel around and let me know at my appointment tomorrow. I've been doing all kind of "Spinning Baby" positions.

[ThePalindromicOne]

Head down last week at 33w4d. Still carrying high though. I have not idea what's what in there so I'm not sure what position he might be now. We're doing an ultrasound at 35w6d to confirm positioning. Kinda convinced her to do it since she can manually tell positioning... but she was okay with that!

[laurenlou83]

I had an U/S last Friday and he was head down and in a great position according to the tech. He is hanging out more to the right though based on the lopsidedness of my belly these days.

32 weeks tomorrow. At my last appointment about a week ago, OB said she was head down, but now it feels like she has moved to transverse again. I am feeling definite kicks on my left side and a larger bulge on my right side - maybe it's a butt? Sometimes when she stretches out, she pushes on both sides of my belly, which makes me think it's back to transverse. I don't know.

This is how I feel.

[tiffbot]

At my 34 week appt on Monday she could feel the head down and up high yet. I've had legs stuck in my right ribs for quite some time. I also feel big movements against my hip bones, usually my left, sometimes my right, and that is not a comfortable feeling! But happy things have been in the right position for at least a few weeks now and they just stay there!

Nothing major and I got reassurance from some awesome mamas in an appointment check-in post.  I just had sugar in my urine so she put me on a GD-esque diet and she mentioned that LO was still up really high and brought up the possibility of a c-section.  I think she was just trying to mentally prepare me, but it caught me completely off - guard.  Sorry that post came off a bit more dramatic than  I intended - I know it's far from the worst thing that could have happened at an appointment. Thanks for checking on me

At my 33 week ultrasound baby was low and head down. Still carrying high. I'm assuming baby is still in a similar position, as they said baby was already getting In position for his/her arrival. I have an appointment tomorrow, no ultrasound so we will see.

[Deleted]

33w3d and he is head down, low, and I'm guessing sunny side up, based on the amount of kicks and punches I'm still getting on the front of my belly.

[jessila]

At 31w4d he was head down with his feet in my ribs on the right.
Currently I'm feeling ninja practice by my left hip and under my right ribs. And he has hiccups. Jeeze, kid. What are you doing in there!?
He's flipped to transverse a couple times recently but always turns back to how he is now.

[mrskblack11]

34 weeks. I *think* he is head down right now. But I could be wrong. I have a growth scan in 5/11 so I will know for sure then.

[sugarbean17]

34 weeks, head way down, back facing towards the left. Super happy with this position. Stay put baby!
