2nd Trimester

Carrying high or low?

How far along are you usually when you can determine whether or not you are carrying high or low?

Re: Carrying high or low?

  • It varies for everyone, but in my case it has always been after I have already found out the sex (20ish weeks).  And for me, the OWT has been correct (girl - high, boy - low)

  • Yeah - probably 20-24 weeks.  I am carrying super high - this baby might as well come out my mouth.

     

  • I felt like I'm carrying high just because of the way my bump is split (still slightly a B bump), but my mom saw it a few weeks ago and said "You're so LOW!"....makes sense by the OWT since I'm having a boy.  He doesn't feel low though -- he kicks me in my ribs every day.
  • I'd say the 20 - 24 weeks as well.  I carried low with my first and I'm so far carrying low with this baby - both girlsSmile
  • Well my belly popped over night and that was around 18 weeks.  I am carrying so high my baby boy is pushing against my ribs so much, he actually is brusing them :)   I have heard that you carry high when you're having a boy and carry low when you're having a girl. My co-worker is having a girl and she is carrying low.
  • I'm carrying very low, and straight out. If I believed OWT's I'd have to say boy, but I'm glad I know better lol!

    This is always what I thought as well.  I don't have that much of a bump but it is high, since I found out I was pg I just felt that iwas going to be a boy.  I will be shocked if it's not just b/c I have this strong feeling it is, we'll see in 3 weeks.

  • This is interesting that it's girl-high, boy-low.  Because everyone I've seen has been the complete opposite!  We don't know what we're having, but I would say I'm generally carrying low...but most people think it's a girl.  I think the OWT is backwards...but I guess it doesn't really matter anyway since it's not 100% accurate :)

  •  I think I look like I'm carrying high and I'm having a girl. 
  • For me the OWT has also been correct with low for a boy and high for a girl, I am carrying very low-and I am having a boy. I feel like I have a pear shaped bump where Bernadette5 is carrying higher and the most perfect round bump and she is having a girl.

  • Ha ha...my boy is sitting low, but because of the way my stomach grew out first, I look like I'm carrying high! I guess that's what a "B" bump is. I've totally got one!
    Um, yeah. The Bump be too crazy for pics of my kid.
