is it possible? at 19 weeks? i mostly feel movement below the bellybutton but sometimes it will drift briefly up above the belly button. is that possible?

At 17 to 18 weeks, I could feel movement right under my belly button, and ever since then, the movement is above my belly button. However, my uterus has also been measuring 3 weeks ahead since about 17 weeks, so that makes sense why I can feel movement under my belly button and above it.

Every once in awhile I feel it above my belly button. Mostly below, but once in awhile the little bugger decides it needs to explore. Stick out tongue

At 20 weeks, I thought I should only be feeling movement at belly button or below. I was feeling things above, but thought it was probably just gas or food digesting. But, at my a/s on Tuesday, we found out the baby is currently breech, and her head is above my belly button on the right side, which is where I'm feeling movement, so...its definitely possible.

I asked my Dr. about this. She said it was my intestines being pushed up and that my uterus was nowhere near that high yet. Sorry probably not the baby......
