I'm six months pregnant and I've noticed that at night, my baby seems to move to the left side of my stomach. I can actually feel something round, like the baby's head, and sometimes it feels like the baby is pushing, which can be a bit uncomfortable. Is it normal for the baby to settle on one side of the stomach like this? Would really appreciate your help!
it is normal
