I don't know where anything is!

ChrisB · February 2014

I see all these posts saying "I can see/feel my baby lump", "I have anterior placenta", "My baby lump is large enough, that I can move the baby if s/he positioning is uncomfortable"....I DON'T KNOW WHERE ANYTHING IS!!

I can't feel my baby 'lump' at all. I had my A/S last Saturday and I can feel little movements throughout the day so I know everything is ok, but I can't feel a baby lump in my belly. I don't have any obvious hardness anywhere in my bump, I don't think I have anterior placenta...has never been mentioned at any of my ultrasounds. I do have a large fibroid (10 cm) attached to the left side of my uterus, and it is quite hard and sore at times. During earlier stages of my pregnancy, I thought that hard lump was the baby..LOL!

I have tried pushing my belly to see if I get a reaction, and nothing.

Just had to say that I am jealous of all of you ladies that get to see and feel your little lump

Don't worry...there are still lots of places for baby to "hide" in there

Don't worry, I can't either! I feel little goldfish movements in there from time to time, but I have no clue what I would be feeling for from the outside anyways

I'm with you. I ask at the appts where the baby's at. Plus now knowing I have an anterior placenta makes me question every "movement".

haha I feel the same way OP!! Baby boy kicks a whole hell of a lot but otherwise I have no idea where he is in there. My mom can find him when she palpates my tummy but I think being a FTM, I just have no clue yet.

I can't tell if I am feeling movement or not. It feels like a pulse when you sit on your leg too long or something, but in my belly. I THINK it is movement, but I have no clue. I have a harder place in my belly. Could be my uterus... could be another organ that was pushed up. I have no idea... you are definitely not alone.

I'm the same way! No worries!

I'm mobile so I can't tell how far along you are, but it's only been in the past 5 days or so that I can tell where she is and it's not even every day that I can tell. Sometimes she just lays funny or a certain way.

I like to look at this little diagram to get an idea of where things are at different points in the pregnancy. Right now the baby is still pretty small and tucked behind other organs so depending on your body type you might not be able to feel a definite hard lump! Mine only gets hard toward the end of the day after I've been gorging on cupcakes eating celery sticks and hummus all day. When I lay down there is almost no real, hard bump (besides my left over tummy rolls from last pregnancy)!

I feel the same way .. No lump (except a little bump that changes size & firmness throughout the day), no movement, etc. it makes me worry something is wrong with me! I have no clue what type of placenta(s) I have either... I guess I have to ask at my next appt?

Nope, me neither! I feel her wiggling around and I get bladder taps, but when she isn't active, I have NO earthly clue where she is! My belly is really hard either. It is more firm in the upper part than lower part, but I had a little belly fat before getting pregnant so I am sure that plays a role.
