My sorta stupid question

julesjb

My Dh sorta just stared at me during my recent stress. I have been using my Doppler since just shy of 10 weeks. I always find LO pretty easily with some minor shifts here and there. Over the last 2 weeks the HB is higher in my abdomen but I can always find it in the same spot. Shouldn't LO be moving around more?? I was expecting it to get more challenging. He/she will scoot away from it occ but I can reliably find it. My DH thinks I need things to stress over so I thought I would see your ladies experience

I'm not sure about any of this, but from reading other people's posts on all the board it seems baby's tend to favor certain spots. Mine likes being breach, and even though I know this from al our ultrasounds I always pic up his heartbeat down low. Maybe yours just likes hanging out in the middle? Or maybe you always catch LO asleep? 

Also, the bigger baby gets the easier it should be unless they are going crazy in there. Their heart is bigger and I think it is easier to pick up the.

Thanks for the feedback...I feel silly asking. The second trimester so far is a lot easier on my body but a lot harder as far as no more frequent ultrasounds. I miss seeing LO and just so badly hope he/she is progressing well!

Babies do tend to cuddle up in the same spot. My son stayed on my right side even in my eight month. Also before 18 weeks they aren't moving around a ton.

I have pretty much found my LO's HB in the one location (lower right side of abdomen) since 12wks. He/she has not moved from there much. I don't know if this is very helpful.
