Hi all
So, my baby's been breech for awhile, but recently moved to a transverse position. The baby's current position is transverse, on it's back with it's placenta behind. This means that the baby is *right* under my skin/belly button face up and I can feel every. little. movement.

I'm not complaining. It's fun to see and feel it all and I can actually very easily grab it's little head and move it around and my kids are loving the show! But I realized this week that it was probably 34 weeks or so with my other kids before I actually saw body parts moving across my skin and I am barely 31 weeks now.

This all feels really intense. Anyone else having a similar experience?

I'm so right there with you. I don't know what it is but there is nothing between baby and my skin. I can see and feel e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g and I can move the body parts around with my hands. It's kinda creepy, lol. This is my fourth pregnancy and it has never been like this before, especially nothing like this so early (I'm 30ish weeks). My last two MW appts, my MW has been really shocked by it too. When she palpitates my belly she keeps talking about how you can really feel everything.

I'm 31 weeks and I have been able to pick out feet and her butt.

Yes--I can see the movement too. It is weird. Very alienish.

Ditto!!!! My baby has been the same...many parts of my day are spent with me going "owwwwww....oohhhhhhh...yikes baby!!" because of the contant shifting, poking, pulling, pushing,etc.

I am having a simliar experience and it's so different then my first. With my first the only thing I was ever able to really feel the shape of was his butt. Now I can feel heels when I get kicked and his head up high, he's breech. I spend 30 minutes or more on the couch in the evening with my hands on my tummy. I even did a short video the other night that clearly shows my stomach moving all around. I'm really enjoying this.
