Can you feel hard area where baby is lying?

[DaisyMai]

Hiya all,

Can anyone else feel a real hard area where baby is lying?

I woke up one morning and felt my tummy low down,almost just above my bladder and an area probably about size of small fist was so hard!
It really freaked me out!
Its not there all the time, and its the side where i feel movement.Hes been laying there for weeks.
At times i can almost feel him squirming around or twisting.Lastnight when i had this feeling i put my hand there and im sure i felt movement!

I know 18 weeks is early, but been feeling movement for weeks on and off.
I'm also v.slim so guess this helps with feeling things.

hi im only 15 weeks and i swear i can feel where my baby is laying eveytime ill feel my belly and put my dopler where the hard part is and theres the hartbeat xxxx

 

[DaisyMai]

Wow!

I find it quite strange to be honest! The first time i felt it i didnt even think about it been baby, thought there was something wrong with me!

But as i can feel movement aswell it must be him.
Also when the midwife felt my tummy the other week she said she could feel where he was.

It happened to me this morning. I made a quick change in the position I was lying and I don't think the baby liked it or he got stuck or something...l write below my betty button, I felt him hard and knew that was the baby for sure...
It was kinda good feeling to know where he is....

 

[DaisyMai]

It is a good feeling now im sure what it is.At first it really freaked me out!
Can't believe how hard it goes though, its a solid mass.when i feel him moving its so strong at makes me go 'ooo'

I think my bubbo must regularly lie in the same position - I always feel the kicks on my left hand side, and my belly often seems rock-hard on the right where presumably s/he lies. The left is much softer so guess that's legs and bum. Very strange! Plus my left hand side always seems to be the one where I get the ligament and stretching pains, I must be growing a lop-sided baby! Probably find my bump suddenly starts sticking out from my hips or something.

I am pretty sure its the baby. I was sitting the other day and I felt him moving, looked at my belly and saw a little bump moving on my lower belly. I touched it, and it was quite hard. It is amazing, isn't it...

 

[DaisyMai]

I think its great to feel and see things before 20 weeks.

I must get OH to feel him, that will be amazing sharing it with him

i have felt my baby from 11 weeks moving this is my 6th pregnancy but only have 1 child x

Absolutely! I can also tell where he is because sometimes there are heat spots on my belly. Yesterday, I felt his head against my hand. My heart melted

ive had that for a few weeks now - its started very very low down but now is about the span of my hand thumb to baby finger. oh i forgot what else i was going to say! :doh:

 

[magicbubble]

oh i know i was going to say i am not very slim - uk size 14/16 although when i tried some clothes on in primark the other day that seems to have gone up to an 18/20!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not "v.slim" and I feel the same thing.................................................

When I wake up in the mornings I can always feel where baby is,there were times when I couldn't turned over and I'd feel just above my pelvic bone and length ways was really hard and lumpy.now I have a hardness vertically depending on which way I have been laying and then get a kick to confirm xx

 

[DaisyMai]

Me too, at times its so low down i didnt think it could be baby!

I think now im used to it i will start to enjoy it

Yes, my belly goes totally lopsided depending on what side my baby is lying on! Sometimes left, sometimes right, and sometimes waaaay up at the top of my uterus or way down low.

 

[DaisyMai]

I just woke up to go to the loo, then went back to bed.
Too late he was awake! I could then feel him low down, quite heavy and almost a little uncomfortable.As i place my hand there and rub, after a while he moves.
Decided to get up as he is well awake.

I cant believe how strong he is at 18 weeks, i almost feel this isnt right??

How does anyone else feel when this happens?

Yeah my wee one is getting strong too! I remember looking at my stomach when lying down and one side of my belly was higher than the other, then it dropped! It was so weird! My husband can now feel it sometimes too - its just great!!

 

[DaisyMai]

Its nice when OH can feel it.I put his hand on my tummy lastnight to feel the hard bit, he just thought it felt weird! Here was me thinking he would be over the moon! lol

Although as much as i love it, im still feeling its kinda strange.Almost like he is trying to push his way out through my skin !

I have always been able to tell where my baby has been lying since about 15 weeks I used to wake up in the morning and my belly would be lopsided and thats where the baby was! I started to feel her kick at about 21 weeks but felt her movements a good few weeks before that x
