2nd Trimester
Low Kicks?
I have to say it is pretty cool to feel LO moving every day. However, I was wondering when the kicks move higher in your abdomen? I am 22 weeks (almost 23) with an anterior placenta, and the only kicks I feel are still below my pelvic line. My utero height is normal and the baby was fine at my 20 week u/s. I just find it strange that the kicks are still so low. I am a FTM so I don't know if this normal and if the position of the placenta is affecting where and when I feel the baby. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: Low Kicks?
You'll feel them low throughout your entire pregnancy. Even when you start to feel them higher up, it's becuase baby is getting bigger so he/she will be reaching all sorts of spots in your belly.
I am almost 27 wks and still get the low kicks along with the ones above my belly button. Sometimes it feels as if my LO is kicking me in my butt hole (not a great feeling)...lol.

Got one of those kicks last night. They are awkward and uncomfortable for sure!
I'm 26w2d, and LO still hangs out low. Once in a great while, I will feel him higher when he turns, but most of the time he likes to hang out low and kick. I don't have an anterior placenta. At my 20 week u/s, LO was measuring a couple of weeks ahead. At my 24 week appointment, my uterus height was measuring right on track.
