I'm not worried, its more comfy this way. I dislike when they have their
heads way down in my crotch. (at least thats how it feels to me once they
turn). I figure we have till October before we need to worry.

I do feel like my baby changes overall position a lot--I'm not good at
figuring out which is head and which is bottom though. However, whenever I
have a b/h contraction, there is almost *always* a big baby lump on the left
side. I'm not sure if it is his back & his limbs are kind of pointing to my
other side or whether it is his head/bum & he is lying sideways. Well,
sometimes there is a lump all the way across the middle, so maybe that is
when he is transverse? It is hard for me to tell because when I do have a
contraction, I can't feel him move anymore & so I can't identify where the
little hands & feet are!
