    Baby hiccups / position in womb

    I have felt this pulsing feeling before and I'm pretty sure it's baby having hiccups, but I was wondering, if I can feel it really low, like it feels like its in my bottom when I'm sitting down, does that mean baby is most likely head down?

    Baby hiccups / position in womb

    My baby was breech, and I used to feel her hiccups near my right hip bone... Have you tried belly mapping? If you google it there is lots of info online about it

    Yes I definately get hiccups in my bottom sometimes, or else on either side, I know what side the baby is on then ( it keeps flipping)
    I think when you get them in your bottom its head is posterior and lying near your bowels, I was just saying to DHthe other day- never thought I would be feeling hiccups in my bum lol.
    When my baby was going from breech to cephalic earlier in the pregnancy I used the hiccups to tell where baby was, so I would be pretty sure yours is head down!

    I know DD was in place pretty early on and was a chronic hiccup-er...still is lol. Definitely felt them down low. Preeettttyyyy annoying

    Actually looking at your ticker, my dd was head down by then, so its a good chance. Lets hope anyways
