Long torso?

Is it true that if you have a longer torso you may or may not feel kicks/movements as often than smaller torsos?

    No, not that i know of.  I have a long torso and I feel my baby roll, kick, punch, etc all the time.  I can see it move around all the time too.

    I have a very very long torso and I've felt E move quite frequently.  And on Sunday night (27 weeks 3 days) DH and I watched my belly lurch in all directions as Baby was just playing or something.

    Oh.  I guess my LO isn't much of a mover.  I do feel him but I'd like to feel him more.  Well now I'm worried.

    If feel tons of movement, sometimes more than I would like... my little one loves to try and punch the mattress when I'm laying on my side.

    Do you know if you have an anterior placenta or not?  That is what would determine when and how intensely you will feel the movement.  I have one and didn't really feel super intense kicks/movement until I was past 30 weeks...I felt her before then, but like I said, not as intensely.

    I haven't been told if I do.  I also should have mentioned that I am plus size too.  Would that make a difference?

    Me too. Exactly.  Your baby probably just isn't as active...which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    Keep in mind that most of the replies you got (with the exception of one) are several weeks further along than you too! I have a long torso and didn't feel baby move until about 22 weeks. I feel movement regularly so I'm not worried, but some days it's more than others. And it's also still quite a bit of the 'fluttery' feeling, though I do get a few good kicks here and there. Never anything painful or uncomfortable though. In 10 weeks I'm sure we'll both be feeling a lot more!
