I only feel baby movements very low?

I'm 28+3 and my baby had been head down on yet 2 ultrasounds I've had since 20 weeks. I was feeling baby move all over, including high on my stomach near my rib cage, but not anymore. Now I only feel movement very low near my pubic area. Is this normal?

yeah, it's better to ask your midwife ;) but  don't worry too much, just don't walk a lot till then and if you can get a maternity belt. good luck! :)

I'm 29 weeks & still haven't felt baby above my belly button. It's usually right below it or on either side. I asked the Dr & he said that's just where I feel her. I almost feel as if she's sideways. I'm supposed to get another ultrasound in a few weeks so we'll see.

I've replied few times on this subject; don't want to scary you but my midwife told me she is worried about my baby being low - checked out my cervix, send me to take some tests to see if it's some kind of infection and said that if it isn't that it's caused by too much activity.I realy did work more around the house. Anyways, this happened when I was 30 weeks and since then I am resting more and having a maternity belt all the time. I would check it out at your place and talk with a doctor cos according to my midwife if the baby is that low so soon can cause preterm labor.

I have twins and one of them kicks very low, but the other kicks higher. I think it's normal...
