@ab_canada I love and am fascinated by the weirdness of the range of sensation from different body parts and types of movement. There totally could be little fingers strumming away in there, right?
@binxybaby Does is think it's super weird? Sometimes I even get a little freaked out by it. Kiddo was apparently attending a rave at 4am and I was just laying there in awe, lol
@texas_t Yup. He went from never feeling any movement to feeling a ton of movement in the past couple weeks so it's still really new to him. He also thinks seeing my belly move on its own is the weirdest thing ever.
I have only been feeling the baby really low since the beginning. The highest it ever gets is near my belly button but almost all of the movement is down in my pelvis. Is it normal not to feel things all over?
I've been feeling a lot less movement the past couple of days. Normal, yes? I figure he's probably just running out of room. I'm still feeling *him*, and lord knows there is a lot of baby squirming in there trying to get comfortable, I'm just not getting the same outrageous kick and punches all.the.time anymore...
@runrinserepeat They just had an article on the bump front page that talked about less BIG movement because they're running out of room. I think you're good!
The weirdest movement I’ve ever felt was when I was pregnant with DD and she was sticking a hand or foot out of the side of me and it hurt so I pushed back and she pulled away. It was so bizarre because I know there is a human in there but for her to respond to something I did was mind blowing.
@runrinserepeat I'm having that too. There are definitely lots of movements, but muuuch more subtle than before. I'd love to figure out how this lo is positioned so I know what's going on in there!
My little guy is moving a ton, but I'm getting the sense that he just can't find a comfortable position. Last night he stretched all the way out (all 15 or so inches of him) and it HURT. He's been hanging out lower in my stomach lately too...maybe he's figured out where the exit is. He still tries to escape through my belly button occasionally though
I think I felt my LO flip head down today (from transverse before). Not only did it feel like an earthquake in my belly earlier this morning, now I'm feeling baby hiccups down low.
@morgantu Same here. With DS I'd feel him kick and move all over and higher than my belly button, but baby girl almost never moves above my belly button.

@AdorkablePixie All of little munchkin movements tend to be pretty low. I asked the ultrasound tech and she said he is sitting low so she isn't surprised.
I must be the only one that has like zero movement in my upper stomach. I swear I only feel her in my butt and cervix. So if people say movements slow down at 28 wks I guess I won’t feel much of anything till the end then. Or she is waiting to come out a raging wild one.

@mcgeeva you aren’t the only one I only ever feel mine move at the bottom of my “bump” and feel her doing summersaults on my bladder, never higher than that lol I bet yours will come out and be dancing on tables in no time xD
Is it still called “quickening” this late? When are they considered “legit kicks”?

My baby girl has been sitting up high since really early. My fundal height is higher than expected too. I usually feel her up high, above my belly button or right under my boobs. Rarely do I feel her below my belly button. She can stay up high as long as she makes her way down by the time D-Day arrives! I think I'd rather have her up high than resting on my bladder!
I think LO must be head down at this point. i *THINK* i felt hiccups like in my cervix yesterday. it was so low! felt like a little heartbeat. Can the OB usually tell baby's position by feel, or does it require a US?
@morgantu same! I felt her flip yesterday and after that my belly was noticeably smaller and I think there were hiccups down low and a foot in my side. I think it depends — sometimes the OB can feel position from the outside plus where the heartbeat is, but not always.
@morgantu I think it depends on your OB and the size of baby/ amount of fluid you have. A friend of mine’s OB assured her that bavybwas head down, but the u/s showed that she was footling breech.
Should we discuss kick counts here or start a new thread? Wondering what your Drs have said + in the middle of a freak out. Not felt baby yet this a.m.
@mommythlegend make sure you drink something sugary/cold (like orange juice or ice cold water plus a sugary treat) and lay down so you can really try to see if you can feel something. If you don't feel anything, I'd call your nurse line.
@mommythlegend My doctor doesn’t have me do kick counts. She just said to be aware of movement and if it has been awhile to do wgat @Jens_Hoes suggested.
Re: Quickening?
@Katzalia it's so cool isn't it?! I've been seeing baby girl move from the outside for a couple weeks now and I love it!
@ab_canada That sounds totally possible to me.
