I cant really feel baby. I do have a doppler and her heartbeat is below my belly button to the left but I also get kicks to mostly to the right. She probably is breech lol.<br /> @cake2017: I'm gonna ask my doctor as well. I plan on doing a 4d in the next few weeks as well so my doctor will know for sure then.</p> <p>In the end if she is and stays that way it's fine but honestly I'm not worried cause she can totally move still. She still has room and time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-position-and-movement#post-2883681 Wed, 08 May 2019 08:58:56 +0000 cake2017 2883681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: I feel kicks really low and also to the side. LO moves all the time. My appointment is this Friday and I am going to ask if my Ob can tell me what position she is in. I do know it’s so early that it will change so aim not too worried. I plan to bounce on my yoga ball daily in a couple of weeks. This will get her in position etc. I get the okay from my OB and it feels good on my back! 😚 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-position-and-movement#post-2883679 Wed, 08 May 2019 08:55:09 +0000 foodiebee 2883679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is exactly how I felt until around 32 weeks. Now it's suddenly *very* strong kicks way at the top of my uterus and and ribs. All that to say, it may change positions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-position-and-movement#post-2883652 Tue, 07 May 2019 21:47:30 +0000 BadgerMom 2883652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you feel a tennis ball above your belly button? That’s how I knew LO was breech. Otherwise I always seemed to feel movement down low. Even after she went head down, between her hands and long legs that came all the way down towards my hips all the movements were below my belly button. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-position-and-movement#post-2883639 Tue, 07 May 2019 20:38:42 +0000 Sams Mom 2883639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was transverse up until 37-38 weeks pregnant and I usually felt kicks on the sides and pushes (arms I'm guessing) on the front and towards my back. He was breech at 38 weeks and I felt a lot at the front and down low. Then he went head down at 39 ish. </p> <p>I only know position because of weekly ultrasounds for my last trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-position-and-movement#post-2883637 Tue, 07 May 2019 20:02:13 +0000 MamaBear87 2883637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say breech is more likely if you're feeling baby all super low. Transverse you generally feel more movement on the sides </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-position-and-movement#post-2883635 Tue, 07 May 2019 19:56:47 +0000 cyoung 2883635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my other two pregnancies I never had this but this pregnancy i seem to only feel kicks and movement below my belly button and I'm 27 weeks. It's been like this since i could feel movement. Sometimes it's so low i feel it around my underwear line. My other kids I felt them higher above my belly button by now. Could this mean my baby is possibly transverse?<br /> I know you ladies can't just look in and see but I was just curious if other ladies have had this kind of movement and how their baby was positioned. If baby is transverse I'm not worried cause I know I've got plenty of time to move. I'm just curious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2562702 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 14:38:12 +0000 pachamama 2562702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: I felt the baby kick at 18 weeks, which is surprising because I had anterior placenta. I would say it felt like jellyfish fluttering in my belly. Or water bubbling if that makes sense. Like a watery pop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2561033 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:55:13 +0000 youboots 2561033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14 weeks! DH felt her shortly after, which was crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2561030 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:47:23 +0000 MrsGeePerez 2561030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was almost 16 weeks when I felt the strangest little sensation - the same feeling as my eyelid involuntarily twitching, but in my uterus. </p> <p>That little whisper of a twitch turned into the kickiest baby that would have me doubled over and wincing all the time in my second and third trimesters! Haha and at 7 months old his powerhouse legs are still giving me bruises! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2561029 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:47:09 +0000 QBbride 2561029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I was 19+1 weeks (anterior placenta) and with my second I was 10+4 :shocked: felt like popcorn popping to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2561009 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:14:20 +0000 Mae 2561009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17 weeks. Felt like a hamster doing somersaults. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2560936 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 18:41:08 +0000 Alba4 2560936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1- 18/19 weeks<br /> DS2- 15 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2560864 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 16:27:47 +0000 Plainpistachio 2560864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm midway through 14 weeks and I just felt the first movement yesterday! It was around 9 pm after I'd had some cherry pie. I was sitting in bed, leaning forward and resting on my elbows (terrible posture, prob not good for baby!) when I felt what felt exactly like muscle twitches, 3 distinct twitches in a row just above my pubic bone. If you've ever had an eyelid twitch, or a back muscle, or a stomach muscle twitch, you know what it feels like. I sat up and leaned back and quickly grabbed my doppler, and sure enough, the twitches corresponded with the movement of the baby. So cool! Did not think I'd feel anything so soon! I've felt the twitches today too. Normally I wouldn't have noticed, but since I have the doppler, I know for sure what it was. I also know what gas feels like and sounds like in the doppler, and this wasn't gas. It's possible others feel it sooner too but don't recognize it. Either the baby likes cherry pie, or didn't like the position I was in. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2558075 Fri, 27 May 2016 10:06:11 +0000 GreenThumb 2558075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looked back for A and it was exactly between 17 and 18 weeks. Then DH could feel her through the outside just after 19 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2558069 Fri, 27 May 2016 09:59:10 +0000 avivoca 2558069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With H, 14 weeks. With this one, I swear I felt some movement at 9 weeks, but not definitive movement until about 13 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2558064 Fri, 27 May 2016 09:54:48 +0000 Chillybear 2558064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it was definitely after my anatomy scan at 20 weeks... I had an anterior placenta. I also think i probably brushed off early movements as digestive stuff. The weirdest for me was phantom movements months after i delivered. </p> <p>I go for my 8 week dating u/s next week. I'm hoping the placenta is posterier this time and i have a better idea of what i'm looking for movement wise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2558051 Fri, 27 May 2016 09:39:44 +0000 raspberries 2558051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely feels like gas. There are some days now (my LO is 10 months old and I'm def not pregnant!) where I have gas and automatically move my hand to my belly because it feels so much like a kick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2558048 Fri, 27 May 2016 09:36:58 +0000 kes18 2558048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel anything at all until 18weeks on the dot. I felt kicks. No little flutters or bubbles ever. Just kicks! I am 14weeks with #2 and I think I've felt some flutters but not too often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2557993 Fri, 27 May 2016 08:38:27 +0000 mrschickpea 2557993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple days before 18w! I wrote it down :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2557992 Fri, 27 May 2016 08:37:22 +0000 Rescuemom10 2557992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first pg it was around 18 weeks. I was unsure a couple times then one day it was a good fast flutter feeling that there was no denying. </p> <p> I hope its a little sooner like most this time around but I am only 9 weeks now and have a ways to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2557988 Fri, 27 May 2016 08:30:56 +0000 Mrs. D 2557988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was around 20 weeks, but I can't remember exactly when. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2557982 Fri, 27 May 2016 08:29:09 +0000 cnidaria 2557982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed something fairly early, between 16-17 weeks, but my midwives told me that 18-20 weeks is more usual (possibly later if the placenta is anterior). Even so, what I felt was very sporadic (maybe once every 3-4 days) and to me, it felt like light twitches... like when your eyelid twitches, but low in my abdomen. I'm just past 19 weeks now and I usually feel something every day and it's more like a gentle poking/tapping, but it's still very faint and I only really notice it if I'm sitting quietly and paying attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2557741 Thu, 26 May 2016 21:11:37 +0000 Goldengirl 2557741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: Thanks for the heads up, I totally get bad bloating and gas, so good to know what to expect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2557733 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:59:30 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2557733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Felt some tiny bubble movement around 13 weeks. Felt my first internal kick or punch at 20 weeks on the nose. And regular movement started around 24 weeks. </p> <p>I often had really bad bloaty gas before becoming pregnant and that only worsened with early pregnancy. When I got gas and my tummy swelled while pregnant I couldn't feel her move and that was in my third trimester. It used to freak me out a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2557727 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:54:28 +0000 Goldengirl 2557727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>@delight: That's exciting that you're starting to feel something! :)</p> <p>@LCTBQE: Thanks for the details. I've read people describing it as flutters or feelings of bubbles popping, but I have so many gastrointestinal issues just on a regular day that I wonder if I'll even know it's happening or if I'll just think it's gas!</p> <p>@MrsSCB: That's so fun, I can't wait to feel that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2557704 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:36:04 +0000 LCTBQE 2557704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: yes, I was so anxious to feel it, too! my OB told me not to expect anything until week 20, and not to freak out if it took longer than that. I totally felt like the weeks after the first tri and before movement was a weird, eerily quiet time. hang in there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2557698 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:32:11 +0000 MrsSCB 2557698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not for SURE until 19ish weeks. Now 28 weeks and he moves a ton! I sometimes wonder if people can see it during meetings at work, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quickening-when-did-you-first-feel-something#post-2557689 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:24:36 +0000 mfa_lady 2557689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: @LCTBQE: You guys are making me feel better. I'm 17+5 today and I'm not feeling squat. A couple of questionable bubbles, but nothing major. I started feeling regular movement at 18W with DD, so I've been worried. Thank you! </p>
