Where Should I Feel Baby Moving? Posted: 08-17-05 09:51am
I'm 23 weeks, i've been feeling the baby
move for about 4 weeks now but it's always
very low. My belly is getting pretty big
but i'm not feeling any movement in my
abdomen, only very low and it feels like
just a little bump.....I can't determine
if it is kick or punch or anything. Is
this normal?

I'm no expert as i'm only expecting my
first, i'm 20 weeks and feel movement
also, sometimes it's very distinctive
kicks where you can also see my belly
move, other days I either hardly feel a
thing (abit like you mention) or nothing
atall. I think what it is is that your
baby is just resting and by this time has
his/her own sleeping patterns, he may be
kicking you when you're asleep :d they
are liek us, they just want to lay still
for hours on end sometimes, doesn't sound
anything to worry about.

Thank you. This is my first child also
so i'm not sure what I should be feeling.
I have noticed somewhat of a routine, I
feel him move at certain times of the day.
I have a doc appt next week, i'm going
to ask about it then.

Wise choice :) always ring your midwife if
you have any worries or concerns, they are
always very helpful.
Being new to this we are bound to worry
over alot of things :d

You know I felt so dumb while at my appt.
Yesterday. My Dr. Asked me if I felt my
baby move yet, I go yeah and touched the
area above my belly button and said it
seems to be pretty strong......Well she
laughed and goes that's not your baby
moving, that's just gas, but a lot of
girls thought that was their baby moving.

The baby reaches the belly button at 4
months, so I dont know why she told you
that. That is right where you feel it if
baby is in the top of your uterus, or if
his legs are at the top of your uterus.
You should be feeling your baby by now--

I'm 20 weeks, and I can see that my belly
gets large just at the belly button but I
always still feel my baby quite low down
still. It is difficult to tell what is
the baby kicking and what is gas hehe, but
I think now i'm getting used to it I can
start to tell the difference.

That just means baby is lying low, or feet
and hands are facing downward..

I'm now feeling the baby move all
over....I'm so excited!! I relaxed all
weekend so that I could concentrate on
feeling the baby, it was so amazing. I
could actually distinguish the kicks from
the rolling and we were able to see my
belly move. I can't keep my hands off
my belly:)
