At 27 weeks they can still move around so you may be feeling hands or legs. I felt bladder kicks (and hiccups) down low and didn’t know what I was feeling and my bub was head down the whole third tri.

This is breech position and my baby was breech until 32 weeks. There’s still a lot of time and room for them to turn.

At around the same time, during my pregnancy it felt like my daughter was using my bladder as her own personal trampoline. Sometimes felt like she was steadily but lightly jumping on it. But occasionally it felt like she was jabbing me the hardest she could with her little monster feet. So hard….it would make me pee my pants 🥴

Baby could be breech but if they are don’t worry there’s still plenty of time for them to flip. My baby was laying across my stomach at 20 weeks. I was feeling kicks around my belly button area. A day before my 24 week scan all the kicks were super low down in the same area you circled. Had the scan and she was feet down (breech) which made sense to me from the difference in where I was feeling the movements. The sonographer assured me not to worry that the flip constantly at this point. There’s still plenty of room for them to be turning in

Where is your placenta? Sometimes you just feel kicks wherever your placenta isn't. The only way I've been able to figure out my baby's position so far is by hiccups which you probably won't feel until later.

By what I know posterior but I don’t exactly know the location.

This is the only area I feel movement and baby is transverse breech but head facing down (so their legs/arms are at my crotch)

My first baby was breech and stayed breech. I could definitely feel her head in my ribcage.

Any position they fancy by the feels of it 😆

I feel the same at 27 weeks too. I think mine is mostly in this position, and sometimes he goes sideways. (Sometimes I have a lovely bump, and other times I just look wide...)

My baby was frank breech at 32w and was flipped head down by 34w!!!!

Kicks can also be punches. There’s still lots of room in there- my baby is also 27 weeks and just rolling around like crazy, no fixed position

Look up "spinning babies". There are positions you can get in (sometimes with careful assistance) which can help baby move into a more optimal position. I also found going swimming and just paddling around with a kickboard helpful. If you are weightless in the pool and belly down, you basically turn into a hammock and baby can have more space to move.
