Yep, you have a kicker. Can you really feel the baby move under your ribs?? I didn't think the baby is up that high yet. At 21 weeks, isn't the baby right at or slightly above your belly button?? If you are already feeling him move this much, you are in for quite the experience.

I am 22 weeks and I am carrying very very low. Instead of feeling what you are feeling, I feel it mostly in my bladder - not fun. I think it is a matter of time before I pee myself!!

Look forward to hearing more from you!! It's just a matter of time we will be able to see our little ones from the outside. It sounds like you will be there before me, though. Is your little one measuring average size or a little bigger?? Just curious.

I feel my little girl below my belly button and sometimes on it and i'm 26 weeks now but she is a small lady all my scans are on the lowest centile. .Mika kicks like mad too! Last night i got into bed and for 45 minutes she had hiccups and after each hiccup she kicked and moved around a bit, it was sweet but i was sooo tired i could have done with the extra sleep!

ladylee - it's not right under my ribs I guess, just higher up then what I've gotten used to... it's more when he gets me at the side that it feels higher up and it's like "how did you get up there!?" before it was the same thing, on my bladder... and my belly button, now he goes right above my belly button but it tickles me... hehe I'm always giggling! I started out carrying low and like a ball and now im getting wide and my belly seems a bit higher.. to me anyways. If you're 22 weeks then I guess your about a month behind me ... what's your due date again? Soon enough we'll be posting baby pics like all the other mommies , i look forward to it all too!

oh and he measures a bit larger than most. he's a tad longer and wider ... hehe i hope I have a big ol' chubby baby!

Alyvia got hiccups every single day for 18-20 weeks. Every... single... day. Somedays more than once! She still gets hiccups a lot now that she's on this side. Laughing

I don't miss being pregnant - the constant hiccups, the kicks and jabs, the rolls, dragging an elbow or knee alllllll the way across my stomach... my belly is happy when it's not occupied!

You have an active one? Ohhhhh no.... Shocked Laughing

everytime we went for an u/s with my one which was 1-2 times a months because of my prior complications, they would tell me what an active baby i have. they would ask me if i could feel her and i couldn't, after my level II at 19 weeks they were saying how much she moved, they even called in the doctor because they couldnt' get the readings they needed because she was moving around sooooo much....well the next day i started feeling flutters....and with in the month i could feel kicks....my whole pregnancy from there on was filled with kicks bumps, hicups ect. it was crazy. i never got tried of it...after loosing your first baby just being able to carry one is so wonderful

a kicking baby is a good baby.

They do it to a steady beat - you can almost time them. Alyvia's were like 4-5 seconds apart. My whole stomach would kind of jump a little bit.

It was cute at first... then it became annoying Laughing .i'd poke my belly and tell her to calm down in there. She got them a lot when I was trying to sleep.

hmm. right now it feels like bubbles coming up from underwater, but ten times stronger then the bubbles you feel at like 16 wks. and it's like every couple seconds. but now he's done i thought it was just him kicking me over and over.. maybe it's the hiccups! Laughing
