Stomach changing shape before my eyes

Hi Ladies, I'm sitting at my desk & feel a tightening and notice my stomach changing shape, as I'm looking at it. I'm sure, it's just the baby moving, but kind of alarmed me at first. I've seen/felt her move before, but not actually have seen one side of my belly look noticiably bigger then the other side. Just want to make sure it is normal? TIA!

    That is totally normal for me.  My husband can sit across the room and watch the baby moving.  Sometimes it is like her little bottom is sticking out one side and making a big lump and other times you can see a foot or knee or something poking out and moving across my belly.  Sometimes she stretches and my whole belly is moving.  It is pretty strange the first time you see it happening but I really enjoy it now. I know that she is getting stronger in there.

    I've watched LO move from one side of my belly to the other which makes my belly look, well, strange.  I think it's perfectly natural though it does worry me that she's showing her butt already...

    Yep, my LO changes position a lot and I can see a noticeable change in the size/ shape on my bump when he moves.  Although I am not a fan of the lopsided bump look, I love knowing he's healthy and moving around!

    lol DH and I would watch videos of this on Youtube when we first talked about conceiving.  Now he says, "Can we make videos, too, when the baby starts doing that to you????"

    This happened to me last night laying in bed... my bump had shifted to the left side of my body... it looked so goofy...

    My stomach is pretty much never symmetrical. She hangs out on the right side all of the time.

    Yes. It's normal.

    It's one of my favourite things to do - watch my stomach move around, doing the wave, bopping etc... this weekend was the first time the belly went lop-sided with baby hanging out on the left side but all totally normal

    (and I'll be 29 wks tomorrow if that helps - ticker won't change)

    Yup!  Perfectly normal.  It's amazing to watch, isn't it?

    Could also be BH contractions, my husband can tell by looking at my belly when they are happening. It feels like a tightening & whole abdomen gets hard and mine happens to be asymmetrical too

    I'm sure my stomach changes shape especially when I eat, but since I can't see INSIDE my body, I really don't know. How do you know?
