First movements!

Prego305

Hi everyone I think I am feeling the first movements but I am not sure because all of them seem to happen very low, way below my belly button. Is this where Im supposed to feel them or should they be higher up?

This is exactly where I feel most of my movements too.  If it feels like flutters and an occasional poke, it's probably baby.

Yup, that's probably baby.  Congrats, it's fun to feel the first movements. 

Unrelated, but when I see your screen name I really want you to change your profile picture to this:

And then I want to be all:

YUM.

I feel her sometimes next to my belly button, sometimes on the sides, and sometimes down low.  She moves around!!

If you're less than 20 weeks, you shouldn't be feeling it anywhere but below your belly button.  In most women, your uterus only reaches your belly button at 20 weeks.  If you feel it above your belly button before that, it's probably just a gas bubble.

 

Also, am I the only one who can't wait until my belly is big enough to use as a shelf/table???

This.  My doctor at my appointment today told me my uterus has just reached my belly button and when I asked her why I only feel him really low, she said that you're more likely to feel them really low at this point than higher up until your uterus raises even more.

I feel my kiddo mostly really low, above the public line. She's head up, so that's where her feet are.

This is nearly word for word what I was going to say. Only without the gifs. Because I'm just not cool enough for gifs.

I do want a belly shelf though.
