Feeling movements down below

Hey all,
I'm 23+3 weeks with baby 1 and for a week or so I've been feeling baby moving around and kicking right down low, like underneath in my lady parts/bum! I have an anterior placenta (it's at the front) which meant I didn't feel baby until a bit later than may be usual. I'm wondering maybe it's less sensitive in my tummy because of my placenta being there and I'm just feeling him/her where there's no "padding"...?!
Anyone else experienced this? It's a couple of weeks until I see the midwife so thought I'd ask here before I ring her.
Thanks for any responses.
Alice x

    My little guy is sitting really low and breach. That's where all my kicks are being felt too. Occasionally I'll get one higher but I imagine that's just regular movements and maybe arm jabs.

    I often describe it as it feeling like baby is dancing on top of my cervix, because it feels like she's right down in there, as you say. Seems your thoughts make sense to me!

    I was going to mention this yesterday. Our little girl is low too! I feel her below my belly button and down really low (pubic bone area.) I'm going to mention it tomorrow but glad she isn't the only one!

    My little girl is breech and dances on my cervix constantly. It's so weird but I can also feel her kicking my behind area. Totally normal. I asked my doc this week.

    My baby girl kicks really hard lower too, like right above my pubic bone. I think she rests her feet down there and sometimes ill sit differently and she starts kicking like im crowding her. Lol it seems really low to me too. Im 23 wks today

    Absolutely normal. When our lo is breech, he has a great time dancing on cervix. Feels strange but not hurting anything!

    Normal! I've been feeling crotch shots the last couple days. Had them allllll he time with DD. If you're lucky, they won't get worse. I call the bad ones lightning crotch. At the end it felt like DD was trying to scratch her way out. Gets sore but it was only at the very end.

    Same here! My little girl is breech and at last ultrasound they were checking my cervix and could see her foot right above. I also have anterior placenta. All of my kicks are low and also get occasional jab or what not a little higher. Everyone keeps asking to feel the kicks but they are just too low lol

    I seriously just looked this up yesterday because I thought it was too weird.
    From what I've read it's totally normal.
    Also with the scratching feeling, later on when we're further along. It's our cervix thinning.
    Baby boy loves kicking my lady bits. It definitely feels weird, but it's better than the days he doesn't move much at all.

    Been feeling it too! With my son I described it as his foot about to fall out of vajay. Only way I could describe it. Lol

    Same here! In fact, I described it at 'vagina bubbles' in a previous post and then later figured out it was little man trying to kick out my lady parts!! I'll be 24 weeks tomorrow so I'm right there with you

    It's normal. I have an anterior placenta as well and I feel more movement where there is no padding, such as down below or my sides
