Are you ladies seeing your entire stomach move?

AWD · April 2010

I don't mean, seeing a kick I mean when the baby begins moving you actually see one part of your tummy stick out further for a few secs. in slow motion. This just started for me and it seems early from what I remember with DS. I thought that didn't happen til later like 36 weeks or so last time. I am beginning to think this little girl is going to be huge. I already can't breathe at night, my back is killing me etc.... I feel like I did with DS at 36 weeks, or maybe this all happened about this time with DS too and I just don't recall. I don't remember be this uncomfortable so early.

I already have lumps on my belly that move--this is my first, so I didn't think it was early to see that. Now I'm scared she's huge!

This just started happening to me...it's so wierd! I feel like I've been sitting in meetings at work all week, starring at my belly.

yes, i can see it move too. it's not too often but from time to time and then where baby moves to gets really hard.

Yes! All the time. Sometimes my entire stomach vibrates! I have even seen what I believe to be the heel of a foot sticking out of my side. It's kind of creepy! Started around 30 weeks for me.

It's so funny that you just posted this! My husband and I are sitting here watching my stomach go up, down and side to side! It is aboslutely insane! This is our first so we are always watching my belly, the bigger I get the crazier my belly moves! She is gonna be a big girl, and she is a real mover and shaker!

Yep. All the time. Sometimes he crowds on one side & my belly is lopsided.

i think its the opposite, they have more room to move like that when you are earlier. Yes I saw my belly move a lot when I was in the last few wks with ds, but it wasnt as much as when I was in the begining of the 3rd tri.

and the second time around has been more painful for me too.

I think the timing is completely normal. Has your dr been measuring your belly? My dr walked into my 30 week appt looked at my belly and said I think your little girl is easily 4 1/2 lbs right now and average at that time is I think like 3 lbs. Im consistantly measuring 2 weeks ahead, like I measured 34 cm at my 32 week check up. So they think she is gonna be a big girl. My first was 9 lbs, so I guess she will be big like her sister!

And yes we we speak she is trying to adjust herself to go to sleep for the night so its going side to side haha.

Same here. He def favors my right side. you can see the whole belly move. He pokes limbs out all the time. very strange. at times it pokes so much that it is uncomfortable. i guess he is just trying to make room in his cramped quarters.
