    Where do you feel kicks?

    I'm currently 30 wks and bubs is breech, even though I know there is plenty of time for bubs to turn I will be trying to encourage her to turn over the come weeks. My first was always breech so I know what a breech baby feels like but I don't know what a non breech baby feels like. For babies that are head down where do you feel the kicks the most? Hoping I will be able to tell if bubs has turned by where the kicks are.

    I am only 18 weeks and so this probably doesn't help but I am feeling kicks down lower rather than up high. But occasionally the kicks are in the middle or higher up my womb.

    They can turn right up to the last days cant they?

    The feeling of a foot in my ribs always lets me know when mine is bottoms up. Although I swear this one is trying to force her way out because I get the feet in the ribs, then this huge thump on the cervix. But the small feet lumps in the ribs is really my best indicator because this little sqirmer causes movement everywhere.

    I'm 30 weeks also, not exactly sure on bubs position but generally feel most kicks up high and often in the ribs, but do get the odd belt down low which is not good when you have to pee! lol.

    Up high in the rib cage. Also we could feel bub's knees on each side of my stomach as they were these hard spots.

    This time like you its a breech. I pretty much only get kicks in the pelvis area, ocassionally to the side but never above belly button. This baby was the right way breifly and i got kicks in my rib cage.

    Unless it turns while you are sleeping you will probably feel it turn. I did when it turned down and again when it turned up. It was trying to turn on the weekend too but seems to get stuck halfway round and go back. It's quite an event for this bubba to turn at this stage so i doubt i'd miss it.

    I`m 30 weeks and can feel bubs kicks up high, I also know what way he is lying as I`d either get kicks on the left or right hand side, I can also feel bubs spine and little bottom.

    When he was bottom down I was getting kicks low down and often in the cervix, ouchy.
