ETA: I just looked it up and it might be a second pregnancy thing since everything has already stretched already they sit lower.
Sadness. There's no hope for my abdominal muscles. I popped early and this kiddo has sat low 80% of the time. I should have stuck tonlast years New Years resolutions and gotten into shape
I feel like baby girl is sitting low too and i'm a FTM. My mom loves to keep telling me i look like I'm carrying low. I always feel kicks in my lower abdomen. Maybe I appear to look low because my placenta is low? I also think it might have to do with the fact that I had a few extra lbs. prior to pregnancy... hmph

Ohhhhh good.
I mean, there is hope. My 60 year old MIL has a full-on flat 6 pack. After 2 kiddos. Then again, I love food and wine wayyyyy more than she does.....

@curlyQ284 so, I used to work at a fishery in Alaska, and I had an ongoing feud with the birds. Every time I would walk to my campsite, they would aim for me. I don't know what I did to them but I was literally on their shit list.

@beezeemarie I have a super long torso too, so maybe that is also a contributing factor.

I'm a FTM, having a girl, and everyone swears to me up and down that I am carrying low. I'd assume it's true because my OB always aims doppler and ultrasound a bit too high and has to adjust. That, and the kicks are always right to the bladder.
@beezeemarie I'd like to say that I'm curious to feel that, but you make it sound bad.
@VLillyV it's just really weird, because you feel it on the inside of your body rather than the outside, if that makes sense. It happened a lot with DD towards the end, but it's happened a few time recently with this LO. Usually not painful, just weird and uncomfortable.

Whoa. I just had my first kick I felt from the outside. I'm just chillin on the couch and my arm was resting on my bump holding my phone and BAM. and it was in a totally normal, not too low location. Baby must have sensed I wasn't happy with the kick placements
+1 to super low kicks and not having a long (torso/waist) anything! Last night it felt like he was kicking the back of my uterus and cervix. Not uncomfortable just really weird!
Man I am winning today. I was super worried about DH being home when his Father's Day gift got here. But he luckily got called in to work overtime today, annnnd I was just out in the garage when the delivery guy showed up so I got it personally handed to me. I never have this kind of luck.
When this baby is awake I can definitely see my belly move. DS was always super active too and when I would get home from work I would lay on the couch and just watch my belly roll around. It was the best.

They told me at the US he was high up. But I dunno I'm pretty sure my uterus is about to fall out of my vagina. Or spill out over my pelvic bone and just free float around my body.
+1 on getting outside kicks! DH got to feel them for the first time last night for a good 5mins. DS was kicking away at 16 weeks so at 22 weeks, this pregnancy has been so different. I love getting more activity. It's comforting and I feel more bonded to LO.
@buttercream_frosting it makes me feel more bonded to the baby, too. Sometimes I just lay here feeling her kick and then I realize I've just spent 20 minutes laying around doing literally nothing.
My girls were both pretty high. This little guy is so low. Like the Doppler gets his HB right at the top of my lower shaved (hair?) line. And he was breech at my US. I know they turn constantly, but he'll flip and flop , which I feel, but he settles breech and kicks my cervix constantly. Very rarely so I feel kicks above my belly button. Sometimes I feel it to the sides but still below my belly button. Hoping he doesn't get too comfortable like that. This momma does not want to go through the pain of baby turning at the hospital.
@roo_baby Me too! It gives me more reason to be still and connect. First time round I was such a day dreamer while pregnant and kept a few pages of journal writing. I haven't done any of that this time round until now with the kicks.
@jessirh At the risk of sounding like a total snowflake, with DS, every time I started to worry about him, he would kick. It made me feel especially bonded with him like he knew I needed a sign from him.
@JessDG I guess!! I just hope I can keep it together and not let out a huge toot in her face. I mean, I like to save those fun events for actual labor and delivery...

Today is DD and DH's first day of summer break at home together. Every year this is such a hard day for me. I'm thrilled that they get to have all the extra time together to bond (especially since she's such a mama's girl), but I'm insanely jealous. I'd much rather be home with her than at work.

I've been feeling outside kicks for about 2 weeks now and I love it! DH felt her a couple times here and there but he was actually able to feel her moving around the other morning, it's so sweet!
the poor girls don't have AC units in their room. and it has been hot as balls. our windows dont open very wide so i havent been able to find a unit that will work. i FINALLY found one that is just .125" too big. so i am just going to get it and make it fit somehow. what could go wrong?
