For the last 2 months, until yesterday, I had this awful pressure under my ribs which made them ache and made it very uncomfortable to sit down. Today, it has completely gone and I feel really comfortable. I'm also feeling my baby's movements further down than I have before. Could my baby have turned head down ready for birth already? I'm only 33 weeks. Getting very excited! :)

Yes, your baby has most likely turned head down. This can happen anytime during the 2nd half of the 3rd trimester. I'm at 37 weeks and very excited as well :o)

Where do you guys feel the baby's hiccups? I feel mine to the left and below my belly button. My doctor told me that it is a good indication the baby has turned head down if the hiccup's are felt below the belly button. I am 35 weeks now and have been feeling the hiccups really low for a couple of weeks.

I am only 29 weeks (gettin there!!) but I have been feeling hiccups way low in my abdomen, about 2 inches below my belly button for about a week now. I am carrying low (so I am told) and I just figured that's why. Also, when they look for the heartbeat they always find it low, which I would think is another indicator that the baby is head down...but I dunno I guess we will see!!
