What is left and what is right? Is it like the mirror picture? I'm asking about abdominal u/s.
Also, if the baby's head is on the right, does that mean the baby is on the right or on the left, I mean what part of the body determines the position, head or legs?

I think it depends on how the u/s machine is tuned, but I had an abdominal scan, my dr. placed the thingy on the left side of my belly, I remember because I could feel the pressure against babies´head and asked her if that was the head, and on the pic I have in front of me the head is on the right, so it is a mirror image in this case.
I think in the second trimester the baby is still swimming around freely, so it could have head on the right and 5 seconds later turn all the way.

it varies - they can flip the picture at the touch of a button. You'd have to ask them at the time to know for sure.

Maybe in the last trimester baby is more in the vertical position, so it's obvious is it right or left?

maybe they go with the machine default at that stage, but you can tell by feeling your bump where the baby is by which bit is hard/softer?
