Manually push baby off ribs

Question

Hi mummies, as baby is growing bigger, in 3rd trim, i find that baby is always pushing on my right ribs but never the left ribs , is this normal?And will we hurt the baby if we gently push the baby off our ribs ? In hoping itll change its position altho most of the time itll stay there 😅#FTM

My baby is kicking left right centre also! And I’m also pushing him away from my ribs/ pelvis etc. haha. Don’t think it will hurt baby as long as it is not sudden and forceful. Baby is protected by amniotic fluid but still must be careful as I heard from my gynae as you progress into late pregnancy the amniotic fluid lessens so I would think less ‘protection’. Right now my baby is head down at 35 weeks so I’m hoping he’ll stay like that till delivery! So I don’t dare to ‘overstimulate’ him in case he decides to turn! 😅 Jiayou! I know it hurts but we’re getting there! 💪
