On Saturday morning my bump di some very starnge and dramatic moving and since then I am conivinced there is a little head under my ribs and have not seen or felt feet or legs since! Was def head down Friday

Anyway not due to see anyone till 37+ weeks but wondering if I should get this checked as by 37 weeks maybe to late to solve if breach?

What do you think?

Ah the old 'flip and wriggle routine' sadly I know it well.

You can try using optimal fetal positioning to get your baby to tip forward but some babies are just little buggers - DD flipped at 37 weeks after being apparently engaged since week 29 . MW was even less impressed than I was because she was confidently telling me how this 'never' happened before the sonographer called her back in and said 'look'!

She did turn back head down though within a few days though it was bloody painful.

However you may well be mistaken. Can you identify a bum? - arms above the head can feel like feet in your groin, similarly extended legs together can feel like a head under your ribs.

Try lying down on your left hand side and see if you can get a good feel of where bits are and if you are concerned, yes of course go see the mw.
