It takes a while before it moves above your belly button. But enjoy this while it lasts soon you may be getting painful kicks in the ribs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-205152 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:47:21 +0000 banana 205152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At around 24 weeks, I used to get low kicks all the time too. And I knew that those were her feet/legs so figured she was breech. At around 30 weeks, I started feeling all those kicks above my belly button so I knew she had turned and was head down. When I went in for my 32 week scan, the tech confirmed that my baby was head down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-205145 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:41:53 +0000 Chastenet 205145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's probably just because your uterus hasn't grown that far past your belly button yet, the movement will change positions over time, as your uterus expands and your baby moves around. There is no worry about it being breech at this point, there's plenty of time for that to change and your baby still has room in there to somersault and twist and turn easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-205117 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:22:56 +0000 pastemoo 205117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: :) Yeah, he usually kicked pretty high, but sometimes right at the belly button. All the low ones were punches. When he got bigger you could tell because the little moving bump was tiny instead of huge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-205096 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:14:25 +0000 Running Elley 205096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: Lol that is too cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-205078 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:05:37 +0000 pastemoo 205078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Punches were low! I used to say "I got your hand!" and put my hand over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-205002 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:25:41 +0000 BananaPancakes 205002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of low kicks, but I had a footling breech babe as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-204999 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:23:08 +0000 skibobrown 204999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby was head down the whole time and very low in my pelvis, so I only felt low kicks. Eventually they moved up above the belly button, but I don't think I ever felt a kick to the ribs during my entire pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-204895 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:57:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 204895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup..I'm 27w and only felt movement in my ribs once..and i think it was her big noggin.</p> <p>my doctor said yesterday they don't even bother checking her position until 37 weeks because he could tell me and she could move 2 minutes later. so..I just take it as a blessing that I don't have little feet in my ribs yet ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-204872 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:43:54 +0000 Running Elley 204872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting!!! Glad to hear that it's normal :) I've been wondering if he's breech as well..</p> <p>@mrskc: I did see that! I think it's VERY interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-204871 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:42:05 +0000 mrskc 204871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are the same. I don't know if you saw, but on the Oct boards someone linked a picture of where your uterus is by weeks.... <a href="http://www.gynob.com/images/fh.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.gynob.com/images/fh.jpg</a> Found it! </p> <p>It makes me believe the little guy is breech and that's why I mostly feel kicks lower and always below the belly button. Sometimes I feel them off to the side as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-204867 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:40:30 +0000 cyndistar3 204867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of my lo's kicks were really low the whole time but that's because she was (footling) breech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-204866 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:39:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 204866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes almost all of my kicks are below belly button, I"m pretty sure she is still breached (at almost 26 weeks.) Hopefully she flips head down soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-204865 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:39:07 +0000 hilsy85 204865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! For the most part, they're below my belly button. I've gotten a few that are on level with my belly button, and one or two that are above. My OB said that's perfectly normal, and at this point (I'm 23w2d), baby is still pretty low. Over the next few weeks they start to move up, so I'm sure we'll feel our boys in our ribcages soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-kicks#post-204862 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:34:11 +0000 Running Elley 204862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone else get mainly low kicks from their LO? Most of my baby kicks/movement feel like they are below my belly button. I'll get some strong kicks that are right to the sides of my belly button and I've gotten a few that are a little higher than that but it seems like the majority of them are low. Anyone else?</p> <p>I'm 24w1d. </p>
