Still feeling the kicks/punches really low?

crunchymnm · December 2012

21 weeks tomorrow, and I'm still feeling baby girl really low. Like near my pelvic bone. Once in a GREAT while I'll feel something higher closer to my belly button. For some reason I thought I felt DS higher up. Anyone else??

Edited to add: been feeling kicks since almost 18 weeks.

I'm a FTM, and I've only been feeling baby often for the last maybe week and a half, but all her movement is pretty low, everything below my belly button. I just love when she kicks my cervix, HAHA.

I was kept up from 4am to 6am this morning getting kicked/punched in the cervix. I also feel them up higher, but last night was a party down low apparently.

I'm 21 weeks today, same situation. FTM and started feeling around 18 weeks. When I went for my a/s I found out I have an anterior placenta, so my belly button is a bit covered. I think the kid is just hanging out on the lower side of my placenta, so when he moves around, I feel it lower. He sure does love to kick me in the bladder and cervix.

Yeah I had 2 u/s last week (reg OB and high risk OB), one she was head down the other she was curled up in the lower corner lol.

I'm a FTM 21 weeks tomorrow too, first felt movement around 18 weeks. All of his kicks/punchies have been low between my hip bones. This boy loves stomping my bladder out.

It's pretty normal to still feel kicks really low. At this point our kiddos are still flipping around quite a bit since they still have the room to do it, and I've noticed with all of my pregnancies that the babies seem to prefer being head-up for a while. I still feel most of baby boy's kicks really low, but every once in a while he'll jab me in what feels like my side, and sometimes up in my belly button area.

your lo is probably still head up and kicks are closer to your bladder. I am feeling all kicks down low too. But once DS flips then kicks will be up higher like last time

chlsbshp · December 2012

as I type out this comment, my DD uses my bladder like a punching bag. She's sitting lower than DS did, so I assume this may be the reason I am not getting a good night's sleep. Stick out tongue

I've been told that it's easier to feel them kicking when they're sitting lower and closer to your hips... hopefully this also means a quick delivery *fingers crossed* Wink

I have felt my LO once at my belly button.. I have been sick so haven't really felt her to much the past couple of days.. it kinda worries me sometimes.. but she loves to kick my bladder!

drtarajp · December 2012

baby is probably head up/feet down, leading to you feeling kicks down low.

i guess i am lucky my baby is laying horizontal. i feel kicks and punches more on the sides. no cervix kicks for me yet! ::knocks on wood::

I still MOSTLY feel my DS really low, but occasionally he's higher. I guess he just likes hanging out down low, but I have noticed higher kicks and thumps more frequently lately.

Baby has been kicking lower for me today - it really depends! Sometimes the kicks/punches are really low and sometimes they are up by my belly button.

It's awesome to feel baby moving

sherina825 · December 2012

STM and I don't remember too much as far as kicks wise at this stage, but I do only feel the kicks really low. All below the navel.

JuneBugsMommy · December 2012

I've only been feeling baby really low too.

sed8611 · December 2012

I could still be imagining what I think is movement, but especially today I have felt her in a couple different spots, from down low to up by my belly button. I haven't any significant kicks yet though either, just the light taps and flutters still.

TroopT45 · December 2012

I'm a FTM and started feeling kicks at 18 weeks. I have only been feeling kicks down low too. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that I have an anterior placenta or not but I've never felt LO much higher than my hip bones.

I'm so glad you asked this. I was wondering the same thing myself. DD is moving really low.....it's good to know others are experiencing the same thing:)

I havent been feeling anything close to my belly button at all. Everything for me is still low too. Speak of the angel she just kicked me now =]

UFMADDIE09 · December 2012

Yep! I had my a/s and she couldn't get a good shot of his head at first because he was low under my pubic bone. The dr. said I also had a low lying placenta, so maybe the baby will forever be low unless it moves up, beats me.

ekendall09 · December 2012

Up until recently I really mostly felt only low as well. I have only in the past week or so started feeling some near my belly button area as well.

BartonBaby · December 2012

i'm feeling them all over... high and low. Big Smile

I have only been feeling it low (like around my bladder) and when I first started feeling the "fluttering" at 20 weeks (I will be 22 weeks Wed.) I was like you and thought wow, that's a lot lower than I expected! What an awesome feeling, though
