Weird shapes your bump throws..

Any angles you've been amazed at or movements?

I've been entertained by bump being diagonal at times recently or almost completely over to one side...but today he just got more creative. I think he's actually at a near right angle to me doing a headstand! I lay on my bag to check and his bum is almost in the middle stretched up and pointing skywards.

DD used to stretch her very long legs out, and I was once amazed to see the imprint of her foot on my tummy - alien, or what!

mine seems to be breakdancing a lot, feel hands and feet move simultaneously, as if its having a nice stretch. nice for baby, not so nice for me. then there are the mini earthquakes that go on in my abdomen, likes it want to wake me up by just shuddering for about 5 secs then calming down. scares life out of me soemtimes, but also wierdly reassuring...

DS used to make some really odd shapes, especially when he would stick his feet out and I would end up almost pointy in the front

This one seems to be all over to one side, so I have a very odd shaped bump, when I'm lying flat on my back it's a wedge shape, loads on the left and then flat on the right!

I'm 33 wks and felt my baby turn right around the other today, over the course of a day of lots of movement, putting himself feet downwards.

He really had to work at it and there were lots of crazy angles along the way.

Since then he's been on the move again and now his head is sticking out on the right-hand side of my bump.

Hopefully he's working his way around to head down again - much more comfy for him and for me (and he'd better do it b4 36 wks anyway!)

I thought I felt fingers (toes?) through my tummy but it was in the night, it might have been a dream...

I'm 27 weeks, 1st pregnancy, and have more of a 'wedge' than a 'bump' - it's all over the right hand side, I seem to have room spare on the left! Very noticeable when I'm lying on my back.

Can't complain though because it's all very comfortable still - and my MW gave me a once over, and said, oh, hammock baby (meaning mostly transverse, I think). I'm not sure if the left hand bump is head or bottom tbh, but there's a fair bit of it. And more to come, I know...
