Q: Baby Up In Ribs

Ok. Is it possible for my baby (i'm 19 weeks pg) to be up in my ribs all the time? The baby is breech and facing towards my back. I get these weird pains below my ribs all across my abdomen, but not at once. There will be a pain here, then it will move to a diff place. Maybe I should sit up straighter???? :?
Thanks!!

Posture helps a lot..The more you slouch..The higher your baby seems....

Mine actually flipped around that point so everything you're experiencing will change ( like kicks and punches )

good luck girl!! I made 31 weeks today!!

It has changed. Sometimes I get a twinge up near there, and I think the baby is moving its arms or something. My oldest daughter was always really high up. Thanks magic!
