Does your baby have a favourite side of the bump?

I've noticed that my LO seems to prefer hanging out on the left side of the bump for some reason.

I'm just curious if anybody elses baby has/had a favourite position in the womb?

Mine is usually on the right. Left is supposed to be better for labour

Also the left, sometimes, he need gentle pushing back to nearer the middle. Mine has no interest in heading down he is desperate to come out of my left side.

Mine definitely favours the left, occasionally push him to the middle as it can be so uncomfortable.

Nymphadora that's really interesting, do you know why?

Mummy I've heard that actually, it's called optimal fetal positioning clicky here.

At the moment on the right. Right now he is sticking some part of his anatomy right out could be a bum just below my ribs and I have a very strange shaped bump.

Thanks Hermya will take a look at that link now.

Mum I've just been reading through my baby book, apparently if it's hard hard that'll be a head, if it's squishy hard thats a bottom. How you tell the difference I don't know.

Mine is on the right. My bump is very lopsided and (what's left of) my belly button (stretched almost flat) is over to the left!

it's hard hard so i'll assume it's his head at this stage. although in a few more weeks if he is still doing it i am going to start assuming it's his bum so that i can convince myself he is getting ready to get out of here. Grin
