Plus size Mamas - Where do you feel LO?

LaurdaJean · September 2011

I get a random kicks up high (near my belly button) , but most are under my stomach, right above my pelvic bone. What about you ladies?

Mine are low, but at my 18w a/s I found he is breech, so his feet are down there. I've felt nothing near or above belly button, although my tummy is rock hard there.

I haven't felt anything yet...It is kind of worrying me. I have an appt on Wednesday so I'm hoping it helps settle me down. My friend is not plus size but she feels kicks in her upper left ab area...

I felt what I thought was flutters around 18 weeks, I was 20 weeks 6 days when I felt actual kicks.

I usually feel her to the left, below my belly button. I haven't been able to feel any kicks from the outside yet, but I can definitely feel them on the inside.

I feel her very high, much higher then my belly button. My doctor couldn't find our baby's heartbeat at my last appointment because she was looking low- at or below my belly button, but when she tried much higher she found her. My doctor joked that at my next appointment she's going to start looking for baby's heartbeat in my throat and work her way down.

90% of the time i feel his kicks/rolls almost at my pubic bone. of course he was face down last time i had an ultrasound. feels like hes trying to escape hes so low lol. but every once in a while i will feel some kicks in between my bellybutton and pubic bone. hes never even close to my belly button though he stays low

I'm feeling him quite low as well. Very rarely do I feel anything remotely close to my belly button. To the poster that was worried about not feeling anything at 18 weeks - don't panic - I didn't feel anything until week 20/21.

I feel him move up high, usually on my left side. FWIW, I didn't feel him move until I was 20 weeks along, and even then I wasn't sure that's what I felt. I even told my MW I hadn't felt him yet. Around week 21, the movements became regular so I was sure it was him. At first, the movements were below my belly button but they've moved up as he needs more room. (I'm 5'3" and very short-waisted so there isn't a lot of space to move in there).
