Position of the baby..?

Any ideas how I can tell what position the baby is in? I feel almost all movement under right boob and have done all the way through. The MW though at my last appointment that baby was head down 2/5 engaged because she couldn't find the head anywhere.

However baby has had hiccups twice this week and both time have felt it high on my right where I feel most of the movement?

Could I feel hiccups through his feet??!

Any ideas?!

I have tried pushing in on my stomach really low down near the pelvis, I can remember when the doc did it when my LO was breech and I felt like there was nothing to press against and when she turned I could feel something hard there. It's not exactly reliable but worth a try.
I must say though when I felt hiccups before it was generally low down, saying that I've had an obe check me before and say that the head was down and she was breech, he was feeling her bum.

Don't know if that helps at all?

Do you have a had bulge on the opposite side (under your left boob). Does the midwife usually find the heartbeat on your lower left side? This might mean the baby is LOA and head down. Do you get little wiggles at the front of the pelvis, if so, this could be hands (so baby LOP)

I think you can feel hiccups from feet!
