30 weeks and baby seems to be getting a lot bigger! I've been trying to work out body parts from pushing and touching the huge hard lumps that stick out every so often, but from what I can work out I seem to be having a... Triangle?? Down below seems very neat but everything above my belly bottom seems HUGE! And WIDE! Like he has very big hips or something?! Has anyone got any tips for working out what I'm feeling? I'm so curious!

Ha ha! I'm 32 weeks and have had some similar wonderings about the lumps and bumps and hard points. I asked my mw yesterday and looks like he's turned down which I thought as he's been so active lately.....she pointed out his back, knees and feet....eh? No idea how she worked that out!! Best ask your mw next time you're there!

Loool triangle :p im 36wks today and these lumps get more prominent :) i have feet stik out my sides, i poke them and then the whole belly goes crazy lol i can tell when hes turned onto his side as i get a very hard onesided lump! And lil ones stikin out the other plus belly goes lobsided. At the mo, hes enjoy pushing against my hips amd stretchin his legs out up the top(thankfully not under my ribs) i had a sausage shape appear the other day, twas a lil leg :) if babys head down like our lil man its easy to work things out as head nd arms are at bottom nd legs nd feet are at top :) x

I'm 30 weeks too and had a scan this week, which showed baby is head down, bum is just below my hips on the right, legs are over on the left. But he/she does still move around a fair bit, although seems to keep reverting to that position. The scan was very helpful to figure out which body parts I can feel!

It is really hard to figure out, sometimes even the MWs get it wrong. I was told DS was breech st term but he wasn't, the hard lump they could feel was his hip not his head

I'm a midwife and I can't work out where my own baby is. I think all the moments abd bumps make it difficult to work out yourself!
