How can you tell which way your baby is laying? I feel movements towards my ribs, but I can also feel movements way down low just a few seconds later. Is he flipping over? Or is it his hands and feet? Or his bum? I don`t even know!!

MelissaJoanne - 85 days ago Rating: 3.3 (7 votes) check out www.spinningbabies.com, for info on positioning your baby. That's probably a good way to tell how baby is laying.

holly28 - 90 days ago Rating: 2.8 (5 votes) Usually, I can feel where the bum or head is because at least one is sticking slightly out of my belly and I have a little lump.

mattie4 - 91 days ago Rating: 1.5 (2 votes) baby still has time to move before it gets into its final position. But next time you go to your dr. ask him/her to feel and tell you how it is laying :)

Christina1984 - 91 days ago Rating: 2.5 (2 votes) i guess depends how far u r, but i can tell because when i press in on my right side i can feel the head. and sometimes it pushes its head hard into my stomach and i can really feel it then with my hand. the baby does love to kick low tho. i notice its hands in my rib now and the harder kicks must be its feet on the left side.

JennSever - 91 days ago Rating: 2 (1 votes) hm - at 22 wks they still have quite a bit of room, so the baby isn't going to pick one position and stay. my baby is head down but bum rotates from left to right. hard to tell.

Baby3OnWay - 91 days ago Rating: 2 (1 votes) hands and feet, feet are the strongest, like mentioned below you can feel hicups and usually tell... also depends on how far along you maybe also

hhall - 91 days ago Rating: 2 (2 votes) I was told where you feel most movement is feet. Also, If baby gets hiccups alot it can help tell which end is up =)

captshelley - 91 days ago Rating: 1.7 (3 votes) the feet are usualyy the stronger of the limbs. It's hard to tell.

blessedjoy - 91 days ago Rating: 1.5 (2 votes) My baby is soo active. Even on the U/Ss, the nurse is like "your baby Vogues a lot!!"

mommy-of-3 - 91 days ago Rating: 1.5 (2 votes) I can't usually tell either because he is so active. I can tell when he turns/flips though because it is the strangest sensation ever!!

lmo - 91 days ago Rating: 2 (2 votes) his feet are probably kicking your ribs.

RandiLee - 91 days ago Rating: 2.3 (3 votes) When I was at 22 weeks, like you, he was flipping over constantly.. the little 'jabs' are obviously his limbs...the harder ones usually elbows, i'm guessing.. The bum is easy to feel, and the back...because it's completely flat.

Melanie07 - 91 days ago Rating: 2.7 (6 votes) Depends on which way he is laying. You will be able to feel his head, feet, hands, and bum move. Usually the feet are in the ribs. Early on they can move around a lot. As they grow they have less room to move. You will be able to tell more which part of the body is moving towards to end.

Mommyof2boys - 91 days ago Rating: 1.5 (2 votes) probably his feet up towards your ribs and his head is sitting low near your pelvic with his arms.
