bubs’ position

Im not sure sorry, we had a scan yesterday and she explained where baby was sitting etc and I still cant figure it out when I try to feel her. I thought she was lying sideways but no she is head down!

Hrm all i know is mine is head down but all over the show i only know by coping a feel lol

I remember something from antenatal classes last year - there is a maternity stool that you can hire that you sit on that helps convince bubs to move. Phone your hospital or ask the midwife if she knows about it? Alternatively - and cheaply, sitting wrong way round - facing the back - of a normal table chair and leaning forwars is supposed to help. All of the stuff below was on the cheat sheet for the session....

    * Avoid positions which encourage your baby to face your tummy. The main culprits are said to be lolling back in armchairs, sitting in car seats where you are leaning back, or anything where your knees are higher than your pelvis.

    * Watch television while kneeling on the floor, over a beanbag or cushions, or sit on a dining chair. Try sitting on a dining chair facing the back as well.

    * Don't cross your legs. This reduces the space at the front of the pelvis and opens it up at the back. For good positioning, the baby needs to have lots of space at the front.

    * Don't put your feet up. Lying back with your feet up encourages posterior presentation.

    * Sleep on your side, not on your back.

    * Avoid deep squatting, which opens up the pelvis and encourages the baby to move down, until you know he or she is facing the right way.

I wouldn't worry too much about being able to feel if it has worked as some babies don't move and settle into this position until 35-37th weeks and you can get your midwife to check at that stage. I still can't remember feeling anything other than masses of baby - it amazes me when women can tell if it is a foot, head or hand!
