DH was frank breech. He was transverse at 19 weeks. I'm 20 weeks now with #2 and feeling low kicks (ultrasound tomorrow so I'll know where bub is), but didn't ever feel them low with DS. By 30 weeks, you could actually see his head under my ribs, which got really uncomfortable and made it hard to breathe. He wasn't much of a mover and my placenta was anterior, all my kicks were higher than my belly button including 'hiccups'. He ended up 'undiagnosed' because the midwife thought at 36 weeks he turned. Doppler showed the heartbeat down in my pelvis (but it was an echo) and palpation was difficult because of the anterior placenta, but they should have realised the head was too firm to be buttocks Like Sweet Pea they told me not to worry before 36 weeks. They can do an external cephalic version but I couldn't have one because I went into labour at 38 weeks and my waters had broken leaving me with almost no amniotic fluid.
