Back to back baby - where do you feel kicks?

Hi, at my 34 week midwife appt I was told my baby seemed to be in the 'perfect' position for labour. At my 36 week appt I was told the baby was back to back. Throughout those weeks I've been feeling kicks in the same place and I don't think the baby has changed position so I'm wondering if one midwife perhaps got it wrong (or perhaps I've got it wrong!)

Anyway, if your baby is back to back, where are you feeling kicks? Can you tell the baby is back to back?

Thanks!

I don't think there's much difference on where you can feel the kicking. They will still kick around in circles/up/down as they're quite flexible. DC1 was back to back, this one is not and the kicks feel in very similar places.

Try to shift them from back to back though, it makes labour longer than it needs to be and can delay it from starting.
