Feeling baby movement in your lower abdomen, especially later in pregnancy, can be due to several factors related to the baby's position.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Baby's Position: The location where you feel the movement largely depends on how your baby is positioned in your uterus.
-
Breech Position: If your baby is in a breech position (buttocks down), you're more likely to feel kicks in your lower abdomen. According to the reference, "If they're breech, with their feet dangling down, you'll feel kicks lower in your abdomen and it may even feel like they're kicking their way out of your cervix or dancing on your bladder later in pregnancy."
In summary, the most likely reason you're feeling movement low down is due to the baby's position, particularly if they are breech. It is always best to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and to confirm the baby's position.
