Baby Bump!

in 2nd Trimester
Hi everyone!
24 weeks today with this little boy growing. Read online that I should see that the uterus has moved about 2 inches above belly button. I don't look like that at all. I feel like he is very low. I'm told I'm carrying well but I feel like my bump looks awkward. I've gained approx 13 lbs so far and am 5'2 130lbs. OB seems happy with that. Just concerned what this low carrying might mean ....if anything.
I don't see OB for 2 more weeks.
Anyone have words of wisdom here?

    I think your reading to much into it. If you doctor is happy and has no concerns, then don't look for any. You bump can change throughout your pregnancy based on where and how the baby might be laying at the time. Whether they are head down yet or not. So the look of your bump can change day to day. 24 weeks is still early, you have plenty of space to still grow, and for your baby to move around a lot.

    It also has less to do with your height and more to do with your torso length.  I have no legs (not literally, but my legs are really short).  I'm 5'3", but when I'm seated I'm the same "height" as my friends who are 5'9.  I'm all torso.  Because of that, I tend to carry the baby lower - it takes longer for my uterus to get all the way up to my belly button.

    I'm 25w and you can barely tell I'm pregnant, let alone see my uterus. However, midwife can feel it and says it's all perfectly in line and to stop googling! I'd stop worrying, everyone carries differently.

    I'm about the same size as you and I remember thinking that my bump looked odd at that stage too (in my first pregnancy).  Don't worry - in no time at all it will round out and you will look obviously pregnant!
