Transverse
Not a lot of kicks today, but a lot of weird, squirmy, interior feelings – I figure she is probably facing my back. I think she did roll over a couple of times, I was getting some kicks on my lower right side, but then it’s back to that other, heavy, someone’s-poking-my-insides feeling.
Then tonight I’m propped up in bed, and again I’m checking for braxton-hicks. It’s honestly hard to tell, because some of her moves – stretching, pushing – feel similar. I felt some hardness, but wasn’t sure if it was my whole uterus or not. So I rolled onto my left side. And plain as day my right side had a huge, firm lump, a little lower than my belly button, far on the right side. And when we push on it I can feel pressure on my left side. So yep, I think I have a transverse baby, butt on my right, head on my left. (At least for the moment…. at this stage that can change quickly!)
Of course as I’m writing this she starts kicking me on my right side and the hard bulge is gone, so I believe she rolled over. I’m pressing down on my right side and she is kicking my hand hard. No little flutters from this one anymore!
I am just so fascinated with trying to figure out how she’s laying in there, what she’s doing. At work today I was sitting back in my chair, feeling her squirms and pushes, and said something about how she must be facing my back today. A coworker blinked a little with surprize. I guess most people don’t know these things.
I think I could seriously just lay here all night, feeling her kick, poking her feet and getting her riled up. But sadly I know I need sleep.

I surprised people with being able to tell them how I thought my kids were positioned too. Even with Cora I guess I paid more attention that most people do.
Isn’t it amazing that you have a little person inside you?
How cool knowing how she is positioned! I look forward to when I reach that point in pregnancy.
I’m so happy to hear she’s a kicker. It makes each day so much more fun and reassuring.
