tell the difference between babies head and bum when palpitating your abdominal region when you are 40+4?

Went in yesterday to book a date for induction. Midwife examined me and passed me through to the registrars. The registrar read my notes and asked if I would mind if he had a prod. He then went rushing off to find a hand held scanning device because he couldn't work out which way up the baby was! If he had read my notes properly and asked me I could of told him everything was where it should be. I had a growth scan about 2 weeks ago to confirm that this little one wasn't going to be mahoosive! At the scan baby was deff settled head down and getting ready. If this one had decided to try and turn I might of known about it a nearly 9lb baby would not of been able to turn 180 degrees without me noticing!

YABU - well not a lot

I have two boys both born at different hospitals, both head people said one was but up head down but he was the other way round and vice versa with my second son.

I could not tell either, I had big boys who were rammed right in there.

Only a scan confirmed which way up they were!
