This baby seems insanely low. I will occasionally get a kick on my tummy (near my tummy button), and by that, I mean once a week. All the rest are around my pubic bone - really low down. I swear it would only take a push or two to come out - it would only be a few cms. On the scans and at the MW, it's always been very low. Is this usual, or more common for a 2nd baby (I have no abs to hold baby higher)? I'm just not looking forward to when it gets bigger - I can imagine I will really have my waddle on 
Just wondering if anyone else has this (it may be usual, I just can't remember from Dan!) ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Is baby breech?
This sounds like what I was feeling up until I was 27 weeks....he was breech, now I only get kicks up high and I kinda miss my way down low kicks (though not the cervix kicks, I was happy to say goodbye to them)! |

If it was breech, wouldn't the kicks be higher up? ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

I had the same thing with my second.
I carried him really low and most of the movements I felt were really low down. The upshot of it was, no little feet or head digging into my ribs! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I have that too... like so low I think its foot is going to pop out LOL
Mine likes to hang out transverse though so its punches and kicks down low. At the size your bubs is you could quite easily be feeling kicks down there.. still plenty of room so if it is breech then it may be stretching out a bit iygwim. -------------
