Question about location of flutters...

in 2nd Trimester

I'm still just feeling (what I think is) little flutters so far.  But I feel like sometimes they're higher than they should be.  Like just above my belly button, when I'm pretty sure baby/uterus is still below my belly button.  So why would I be feeling anyhting a bit higher? It's definitely not anything like gas or normal stomach gurgles b/c I've been feeling these things (randomly) for just over a week and it's nothing like I've ever felt before. 

Has anyone had this? Is this still the baby?

    Baby is starting to move up now JCM. I only started feeling up high this past week - in my ribs. But the flutters did start to move around 19/20 weeks.

    Usually, your uterus is at your belly button at 20 weeks, then goes up a centimeter every week.  I wouldn't think those would be the baby but I have no personal experience to say for sure.

    BUT more importantly... have you eaten the Mac n Cheese yet?  I need to know if the cheddar is an adequate substitute.  I can concentrate on nothing else right now.

    by the sounds of things in the past, you are short waisted like me. Just got back from my appt and my ute is already an inch up past my belly button and i can feel the little angel AT my belly button, but most times much lower. it's VERY possible you are feelig it that high.

    What I've been feeling about an inch or two below my belly button, which I assumed was still too high to be flutters (I've been feeling these unidentified gentle taps and flickers since about a week ago).

    In other words, I have no idea! I'm clueless.

    I always feel kicks really low, no higher than my belly button but usually lower. The baby is still breech and has been since 14 weeks so that explains why the movement I feel is this low. But I think if baby is not breech by 18-22 weeks you would feel kicks at or just above belly button.

    All of the movements I've felt (flutters and in the past week or so, pokes/kicks) have been below my belly button.?

    But if you are short waisted it could totally be your little man! ?

    Ok thanks everyone :) I am trying so hard to remember if at my u/s last Wed she went above my belly button and I don't think so, which is why I was curious about location. I am short waisted so that could have something to do with it.  Poor little guy doesn't have much room in there!

    And yes, more importantly.... :) The mac and cheese is good! The cheddar melted, but it's not as melty/creamy as I think it probably would have been w/ American cheese. But I wasn't about to use American singles, so this works! It's more of a baked type of deal for sure.

    FINALLY somone who isnt 14 weeks saying "they are feeling full on kicks 24/7" (ok maybe thats a little exaggeration) But I have been feeling the same thing as you. Kinda random here and there. But nothing I have felt before. It almost feels like little spurts of being uncomfortable - like sitting with tight pants on (what a horrible discrip)

    anyways, if you say it's like something you have never felt before - IT'S BABY!
