Breech or head down??

Hey basically I'm so confused by my baby's position. I'm 31 weeks pregnant and I spent most of last week thinking baby was breech. But all big movements are at the top now. But there is something that I can move from the right to left of my bump at the top. Surely it can't be a head, it also moves a lot!
I'm so confused lol 😂
I do have a scan next week and super worried it's breech as I'm going for a VBAC

Could be a head, could be a bottom (or anything else to be honest, I was awful at figuring out what I could feel)!

There's no need to worry too much if baby does turn out to be breech at this point, as there's plenty of time for them to turn and get into position before birth.

I'm currently 34 weeks and my baby was confirmed breech via ultrasound at 28 weeks and then again at 32 weeks. At a midwife appointment at 33 weeks, the baby was confirmed head-down. Huge difference between the two positions! When baby was breech, I felt a huge solid round rock up near the top of my belly that didn't move much if I prodded it, and not as many movements all around, except for some uncomfortable little kicks down below. Now that he is head down, I feel all sorts of squirmy limbs at the top of my belly that move away immediately when I touch them, and I also feel more intense side-to-side movements, like he's shifting from the left to the right and back again. I think I can sometimes feel the baby's bottom, which is hard like the head was but definitely not as round and it moves much more often. Less heartburn, too. =)

@SB2021 thanks for replying :)
That definitely sounds the same as me with all the movement at the top feeling squirmy! And I think I can also feel the bum sometimes but it also moves from the left to the right 😂
