Sorry if a stupid question..
But can you tell if breech baby has turned? Yourself?

I mean, If it had turned since last midwife appt, would I know about it?
Am 36+3
Getting kicks v low down, but the bit I think was baby's head moves side to side a LOT Its very uncomfortable. But I just can't imagine that all its limbs are jammed in the lower half of my belly.

After 36 weeks you'd REALLY feel it. That is what my consultant said when I asked. DD was palpated as breech at about 30 weeks, but scan at 34 showed her to be the right way up (down) and I hadn't felt anything.

My baby turned breech at 35 weeks but was back head down at 37 weeks. I genuinely hadn't a clue what way it was facing before I went for the 37 week appointment - I had had a LOT of movement (think washing machine on spin) that week but was convinced I could feel kicks low down.

When I was scanned the baby's head was down but it was lying sideways with legs up near its head - so it could be your baby is in the same position ?

My no.4 turned a couple of weeks ago at 36 weeks. Yes, I was aware it was turning as there were 3 uncomfortable days whilst it had a lot of movement for an hour about 3-4 times a day. Since it turned head down I have been getting the pressure on my pelvis feeling and the feet are under my right rib as they keep poking out! My other three had all turned by 30 weeks so never noticed them turning.
