Baby movements - advice appreciated!!

I’m 27+2 and this week it has really felt like my baby’s movements have only been in my pelvis. I can feel movement around my pubic bone, bladder, around my bottom and near the bones of my pelvis. Previously, I was feeling them quite up high and even towards my ribs. Does this mean my baby has dropped? Is this something I need to worry about as I’m only 27 weeks? Or is this quite usual for baby movements to move around like this?

I’m 27+5 and went in with reduced movements on Thursday. I felt them so much Wednesday and hardly anything Thursday but they said it’s likely baby changed position and where they were facing out they could be facing in. She said there are no nerve endings at the back of the uterus which is why I don’t feel much. But I would always, always say, if you’re concerned go and get seen

I think they have probably just turned around so they are head up feet down rather than dropping. But if you’re concerned then just give the MAU a ring

@Livvy thank you ❤️ It’s not that I’m concerned about the amount of movement- I’m certainly still feeling lots. It’s just that it’s in a completely different area to what I’ve felt before and everything on Google says if your baby’s in your pelvis then they’re engaged and ready for birth!

@Mish thank you, that makes sense. I will keep an eye and maybe call

Omgg I’m exactly the same 27 weeks and 2 days today and I feel exactly the same, I’ve been feeling a lot of movements in my pelvic region recently compared to last week where I was feeling kicks around my belly button it’s very strange. The midwife said that the baby moves constantly and is probably using your bladder as a cushion and is comfortable there 😂 I hope that helps

i'm 27+2 also and had a growth scan on monday, baby is head down at the minute and i can feel him in the exact same places as you can, they said it's nothing to worry about him being head down at this point x

@Joss baby's turn all the time not just at the end. Probably just facing a different way to before.

Same for me don’t feel as much as I was and I had scan yesterday baby head is down and facing my back with legs curled right up
