Dumb question..but where is the baby...

lily87 · March 2011

located right now?? I feel like I have been in school way too long to not know this, albeit in the humanities, lol...

But, everyone keeps talking about movement...and with all my GI issues with this pregnancy...I can't tell if the flutters I am feeling are the baby or something else. (I realize I may actually not know until I feel a full on quick- but I am jealous of the movement posts!)

At this stage, is the baby above the belly button, to the side or level with the belly button or below the belly button? Or could he/she be in all of those places?

I don't know for sure (also in the humanities here), but I'm going to go with where they looked for it on my ultrasound last week---way below the belly button above the pubic line.

I feel the movement between my belly button and panty line. I felt it a couple times in the past week & 1/2 but the last 2 days in the late afternoon it was like every few minutes for a couple hours I felt it. It is mostly fluttery feelings, or like the feeling of popcorn popping. At times it will be really faint and other times it is like WOW, someone sure is getting rowdy. It isn't like kicking or anything strong like that.

Another way to describe it is you know when you get nervous or excited and you get those butterflies in your stomach? Well for me it is a lot like that but much lower.

Someone posted this link yesterday and I thought it was a helpful visual of where the baby is and how your body is changing:

Below the belly button until 20 weeks - then it's supposed to be even and then moves up every week. At my US last week (I was 16 weeks), she was working right under my belly button, which is where my bump is. I haven't felt any movement, but I'd assume if I did it'd be around there.

I can find the baby's heartbeat via the doppler about 3-4 inches below my belly button. So it's almost in between my panty line and belly button. Sometimes it's slightly over to one side.

Around 12-13 weeks it was way lower, just above the pubic bone.

Whoa!! Awesome link! Thanks

And def below the bellybutton. I catch the HB on my doppler every night right above my pubic bone.

when i do manage to feel him moving around, it's low, because he likes to sit in the lowest part of my uterus. the sonographer said when i feel him all the time, it willl be a couple inches below the belly button
