Head down

How do you know if your baby is head down? And when do you normally know?

My baby is head down, I'm 32 weeks, this is my 5th child so I felt her turn head down, and she hasn't turned around. Also if you touch right above your pelvis bone you will feel the head of the baby is head down. It will be round like your pinching a small ball, if you don't feel that your baby is breech

One day she was making big movements, it was almost like I saw her actually turning and going down. She's verb head down since I was maybe 30 weeks. I can tell because she kicks up and kicks my right side/right rib.

Well, I knew because I could tell movement had changed, and the pressure got more severe because my daughter had been laying sideways (never feet down head up) my whole pregnancy.
How far along are you and do you have an ultrasound soob?

Your doctera can tell my feeling/grabbing your stomach. I found out at a growth scan at 28weeks my daughter was head down and now my doctor pushes on my tummy every appointment to make sure.
