Where do you feel the baby kicks?

caseyeva85 · January 2011

My LO is always moving around but it seems so low. I always thought it would be more near the belly button but its not at all is that normal?

As you get bigger, you will notice them higher.

Do you know the location of your placenta? Mine is anterior (which means it's blocking the front part of my stomach). I feel most kicks down low and the random occasional one up higher.

99% of the time I feel the baby really low.

Once in a blue moon she'll kick near my belly button.

DD #1 always stayed low..I felt her first kicks in my cervix (it stayed her favorite place to kick and punch). DD #2 loves to kick my bladder...didn't have that issue with DD #1. There is SO much room for the babies in our bodies right now that they can really be anywhere. I sometimes feel them above my belly button, but mostly (I think due to gravity) they settle on the bottom. No worries! You will feel those rib kicks and foot lodges in the ribcage and spine soon enough!

I feel her mostly right below my belly button - maybe about an inch below? And smack dab in the middle of my abdomen.

I have an anterior placenta and I usually feel LOs kick down lown on my right side but I have had a few kicks in the middle (also low).

Right on my bladder. Everytime she moves I pray I don't pee my pants!

I mostly feel her low on my left or right but more recently I have started to feel her kicking up higher near to the belly button. Yesterday I actually saw my stomach MOVE with the kick...it was really cool.

I get them all over, but the low ones actually hurt!

LovelyLou23 · January 2011

i feel her all over, but it seems like the favorite spots are low on the left side and high on the right side. the craziest is when it in both spots at once! i imagine that's a big stretch with hands and feet!!! awww

I feel my little guy pretty low--about an inch above my pelvic bone.

My baby has been kicking/punching me in the crotch all day today... and it's not always comfortable. I used to feel it all over my lower abdomen, but seems baby has settled down really low and stayed there the past few days. Probably why I had a painful gas attack this morning too... and that wasn't pretty.

I usually feel them really low too. I have felt a couple up high, but most are low. I have an anterior placenta, which I think makes a difference.

LegalLadyBug · January 2011

I usually feel my LO down low, not sure where my placenta is. I have started feeling her more up by my belly button though. Today I actually felt her there, looked down, and saw my abdomen moving haha.

Very low! It was that way with DD too, I rarely felt anything above the belly button even at the end!

MaybeBaby2 · January 2011

Around belly button level, but facing my spine. He kicks something in there and it is the weirdest feeling. DD didn't do it, so this is new. Also, I'll feel him on my right side periodically.

Jmadams3 · January 2011

At first it was really low, but recently I started feeling them near my ribs! I started feeling them higher and higher as my uterus moved up. Today was the first time I actually felt him kick my ribs twice.

I feel him really low too most of the time. He was head down at the anatomy scan but now he's breached. It's crazy though sometimes i get kicks above my navel...weird
