What does this bump shape suggest?

For boring reasons, I haven't seen a midwife for six weeks, and will next see one on Thursday at 37+2. Meanwhile I thought baby was in the right position but now worrying... After ages of being head down and to the right, she has moved I think. When I lie down my bump I'd hard around the belly button then soft... Does this suggest back to back? Or possibly transverse? Trying to prepare myself (and also, am bored of waiting for midwife to tell me!)

Bump dips/is soft higher up, I meant

No idea but if you are worried there are things you can try to encourage position like bouncing on a ball, being on all fours (Google would have better advice).

I think babies can move right up to the last minute so I wouldn't worry yet.

My bump is hard and then soft above belly button and my baby is somewhere between breech and transverse. I would ring midwives and ask to see one so they can have a feel?

I had a friend who thought her baby was breech as she could feel hard lumps on both sides. Turns out baby was indeed head down, and shaped like a 7!
