A member asked:

Is it normal for baby to "ball up" to one side of belly during later pregnancy post 35 weeks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes this can be a normal sensation, even though it rarely means the baby is actually only on one side of the uterus. It is more common that what a woman feels is a light "contraction" of the uterine muscles, and this feels like a "balling up" sensation
