    My last 2 bubbas moved constantly, only going head down in the last weeks, and engaing JUST before birth!!

    But I had a massive amount of fluid with both. When my waters broke, it was HEAPS!!! So they had lots to swim in!!

    Maybe lots of amnio???

    Don't worry Sara, i have no friggen idea where my bubs is lying either
    I get heaps of kicks either side too!! I get like a butt or back poking out sometimes which is cute.....

    Although I know bubs is most probably head down because last two visits to GP she said bubs was head down and in nice position....

    Yeah maybe it is a lot of amnio fluid in there. Cause my belly is huge, but when i feel around for bub he is not that big and only fits in half my belly so still has loads of room. He doesn't feel squished at all.

    T it's your third bub and there is a bit more room in there for him to play around in Plenty of time for him to turn head down and stay there!

    Second and subsequent babies don't engage in the pelvis until right at the end, so it's not unusual for them to have an unstable lie right until then. Even breech babies can turn all of their own accord very late. My second dd was transverse (sideways) until the end and flipped while I was in labour. Your pelvis is a little roomier after you've already had a baby, and your uterus a little more stretched, so there's more room for somersaulting around

    Plus the old stomach muscles just aint what they used to be by now so your muscles don't hold them in as tight kwim? I would say he is just making the most of having enough room to move around in, but he'll know which is the right way to go when the time comes.

    Would there be a problem with the cord getting tangled at all because he keeps flipping so much? Today he is head down again!
