35 weeks - arms and legs punches/ kicks - can you tell the difference?

My baby was breech at 34 weeks and am desparate for it to turn. Keep feeling what I think are kicks where the head was previously but maybe just kidding myself and they are arms.

So just wondered if anyone could distinguish between them?

Nah. I am 34 weeks and have absolutely no idea what it what. Baby was head down at 32, transverse at 30 and no idea what it'll be this week. I have a large lump under my right ribs which I thought was a bum but then it seems to kick too so I wonder if it's knees. Fingers crossed for it to be kicks you can feel though

I'm only 31 weeks and have no idea what our little one is up to in there. At the last 3 visits she's been"ceph" but all the "kicks" are low down... So who knows.

Not sure about arms/legs, but bottoms are squishy and heads are hard. That's how my midwife put it when I marveled at her ability to tell which way up the baby was. I'm on my fourth, and I still can't tell! Unless we play catch the foot, when it sticks out it's fairly obvious.

I can't tell whether its a foot or elbow or hand! Should know by now as this is my third.

Feeling so uncomfortable I am finding it hard to walk properly. Not sure that is due to breech or just cos its third time around.

I am on my 6th and I still can't tell which bit is what or picture how baby is lying.
