Carrying baby on your right or left side?

ashleynaka

I am carrying low on the right and have been since my first u/s.  Is anyone carrying on either side like me?  I thought that you carried in the middle, but I guess not.  Any experiences with carrying on the right or left and gender differences?  We are excited to find out what we're having, but have a couple more weeks to wait.

The baby moves around like crazy at this point.  It's probably just coincidental that you've always found it on the right; I'm sure s/he has ventured over to the left a little too.  ;-)  

My LO was found on the right at our 6w ultrasound, hb was found with doppler on the right at 10w, but I've been feeling flutters for the last three days on the left.  They're bouncy little boogers at this point!  I don't blame them- they won't have that much room for long!  haha

Mine is on my right in ultrasounds and that's where they found the heartbeat, yet they say it was my left ovary that egg came from (I had a cyst there). I just realized how weird that is!

This!  Exactly the same here!  Glad to hear I have a buddy.

My DD was always as far right as she could be.  My bump was always a little lop sided.  This time LO seems to be low and in the middle.

Mine's always been on the left. Maybe because I'm left handed? I know that's ridiculous, but most people seem to be on the right and most people are right handed

I'm guessing you all know this because you have dopplers at home? Burrito was found on my left side at my 14w appointment, but I assumed he'd be moving all over the place and that's just where he happened to be at that point. Otherwise, I have no idea how to tell where I'm carrying.

At my last US they were transverse, with both of their heads on the right. I think they are that way a lot because when I'm poking around on my mini-bump it feels more prominent on the right side as silly as that is. All I can think of is how lopsided my bump will be if they stay that way!

I'm right handed and my LO has been mostly found on the left side.
