Baby movement?

macci2

Im 22 weeks pregnant and have been feeling my baby move just below my belly button. I was wondering if that was normal or if i should call my doctor?

I'm not sure about movement myself because this is my first pregnancy and I'm 17 weeks. I think I have some movement mostly around below my belly button and on my right side mostly. I wish I could be more help. I would just call your Dr just in case.

? I guess I'm confused as to why you'd call your doctor about being able to feel your baby move? Relax.

I didnt know if i should feel him that low!

I'm 28 weeks and I feel him below my belly button. And above it. And sometimes coming out from my sides. The kid is everywhere. You're fine.

macci2

Okay. Just asking i had my first son early so im kinda nervous about this one. Thanks ladys.

Where do you expect to feel him?

macci2

Not way down there!

I usually feel it only on my Right side & i get a weird bump only on my right side... Is this normal since its my 1st pregnancy?

That's where your baby will be most of the time.....little confused as to where else you think you would feel the kicks?!? Right arm? Chest?

yeah i feel movement everywhere.
15 weeks and ftm. Mostly the ripples of the babys movements. If not then, I have seriously gas issues.

A good pregnancy book would come in handy for both of you.

I'm 18 weeks pregnant, and I don't feel a whole lot of movement at all. I feel jerks every now and then. It kind of makes me nervous.

You will feel baby everywhere. I'm 22 weeks and this kid likes to kick me mainly in the cervix. Feels like he's trying to kick his way out and escape at times! I think where you feel movement has to do with positioning of the baby. Some just like to hang out low while others prefer to be higher up. I wouldn't worry about the baby moving, that's a good sign!

aswellr- At 18 weeks I wasn't feeling my little guy consistently either. They are still small enough at that point that if you are busy you might not notice movement because it's so light. Doesn't mean baby is not moving. Also positioning of the baby might make you feel them less. I'm feeling my little guy more and more now, but there are times where I don't feel like he's moving enough. I just remind myself he's still small, give it time. I'm sure your LO is just fine

OMG THE CERVIX KICKING! First time I felt it I looked like someone had just goosed me.

For what it's worth, my doctor told me not to worry about monitoring for regular movement until your 24-26 weeks. Everything prior to that is expected to be sporadic.

I don't know why you're concerned. You're okay and baby is okay.. it's normal to feel movements. That's basically the most reassuring thing you could ask for.

Yeah I don't call mine "flutters" , more like twitching lol.

Yeah, Google is WAY too much information. Plus if you spend more than 5 minutes on webmd, it'll just tell you it's cancer. Books cover the basic stuff you need to know, I like the mayo clinic one.

Lord help me if my kid kicks my cervix! I have felt a few little flutters here and there. Since he's sitting so low(I had no idea they sat low for so long until my last ultrasound) I can tell the difference between him moving and gas. And my poor husband is convinced he's going to feel him move even though I barely feel him move. He's awfully pretty!

I am 18 weeks and still havent felt movement, this is my 5th and my 3rd Csection. I feel like my last pregnancy I felt my son a lot earlier, but I guess every pregnanct is different! My MD told me my uterus is right under my belly button, so maybe thats why you can feel yours there and as it grows you will feel kicks everywhere congrats mamas♡

I'm 23w. My boy is treating me like a bouncy house. He's starting to interact when I rub or poke my belly. Hopefully he'll lay off of the crotch kicks. Super uncomfortable. Good luck with your pregnancy

I'm 18 weeks and I feel like a bouncy castle as well. I'm actually quite uncomfortable, but I'm happy he's so happy
