movement: down lower in boys?

mrskimm09 · August 2011

Anyone else who is having a boy feel movement really low?

He moves like crazy but its so low. It almost feels like hes sitting in my pelvis.

Then every once in a while I feel a kick or punch higher (around mid stomach).

Its so weird.

Am I alone?

I've only been feeling my boys down low. At my last u/s a week ago, they were both feet down, so I can only assume they are still in that position and maybe yours are too?

I feel him high, low, in the middle, all over the place!

I normally feel him pretty low in my pelvic region, but have felt him a few inches above my belly button too.

I'm with the PP.

Typically he's down low but (at night especially) he's been all over too. I find it weird that he can move around so quickly.

I think it has more to do with their size right now than their sex. We're having a girl and most of the movements are low - well below my belly button.

I feel him low unless I am leaning back or laying down then he is everywhere. But doing stuff while sitting or standing he is low.

Yes I don't think it has to do with the sex of the baby. I'm not even sure it has to do with the size of the baby. With my first daughter, her movements always felt kind of low. I rarely felt anything above my bellybutton, even in third tri. I think it has more to do with you and how you carry babies.

always low but i also have an anterior placenta so maybe he kicks higher and i can't feel it?

I feel this one lower than my last 2. I have felt a little in my mid section but mostly low in my pelvic area.

The sex of the baby does not dictate where you will feel him/her move. I feel my little boy all over the place.

My babe is super low! He was always on the left but is now in the middle. I can tell he's getting bigger. When I stand I feel a lot of pressure really low. Makes for more potty breaks!

I've mostly felt my little girl really low. Occasionally I'll feel something around the belly button but mostly within the pelvic area.

Movement with this one started really low, but I'm surprised at how quickly his feet have moved up. DD's feet were jammed right under my boob for the last month of pregnancy and I think it will be the same with this LO. But I'm very short-waisted so my babies don't have anywhere else to go.

I'm carrying low with this daughter as I did with my first daughter. Just has to do with where your baby wants to be.

I usually feel kicks down low. I hardly feel them very high unless i'm laying on my side, then he kicks/punchs in my ribs and it hurts. And when I sit down he lays down right on my pelvis and when I stand up my left side is ALWAYS bigger then my right.

I feel everything very low but LO is also breech right now. I think the position of baby has most to do with it.

I also carry my baby (boy) very low. When he rolls or kicks he is always well below my belly button and feels like he mostly kicks near my pelvic bone.

I have felt my boy very low , and as high as right above my belly button. Sometimes I feel him low then a few seconds later really high, so I think he still has enough room to flip around alot right now.
