How to Tell Baby Position by Kicks?

Baby kicks low in the pelvis often suggest a head-down position

Baby kicks high under the ribs often suggest a breech position

Kicks mostly on one side may suggest the baby is lying sideways

Strong kicks near the top of the uterus may suggest the feet are up

Movement felt mostly in the middle of the belly may suggest a transverse or changing position

Frequent kicks in the lower abdomen may suggest the baby’s legs are lower

Flutters and rolls can make position harder to judge than sharp kicks

Kick location can change as the baby turns

Only an ultrasound or healthcare provider can confirm baby position accurately
