Can you feel hard area where baby is lying?

[DaisyMai]

I think we are lucky feeling so much so soon

How low down have you felt baby?
I can feel hard area now v.low down, like where my hair line starts.I thought uterus was 1inch 1/2 below belly button?
But then if they sit on your bladder that is low down.

I have been feeling baby move for 2 weeks now - since 16 weeks. I noticed it when i was laying down and my tummy was hard and sticking out more on one side and then it felt like a tennis ball rolling under my skin. I havn't had any flutters at all and no kick yet just this rolling sensation.

Tennis ball rolling is a good description.
This sounds daft but the first time i felt him with my hand it frightened me! I thought i had some kind of lump.It was that defined and solid that it didnt even enter my head it could be little one.
But now it appears in defferent places and comes and goes so must be him.

Lol that's funny. I get a heavy feeling very low down pressing on my bladder and I get the lump mid way between my belly button and my bikini line but yesterday I felt the rolling feeling almost behind my belly button - when I was lying down.

When i lie down i can see and feel a little lump sticking out of the right side of my belly, quite low down and its baby's head!! I know because of the position hes been in since 18weeks and won't move out of lol but yeah i can feel his head sticking out of my belly, kinda weird really!! xx

 

[DaisyMai]

It is weird, especially when its your first.

I thought my parnter would find it exciting but he just said well you dont know what it is do you, could be anything.Placenta etc. Huh?! I just said you havent got a clue! lol

He also said the baby is in a sac and surrounded by fluid, so wouldnt be that close to the surface! I'm now panicking thinking ive not got enough fluid!!

It does feel v.close to surface.I am v.slim, do you think i should be feeling such a solid lump?

Hi girls. I'm a bit further on than you (29+2), and soon you will get to the stage where you can tell where various body parts are, which is even more exciting! I usually end up with Boo's head low down, bum stuck in my right side, and have now got to the stage where I get a hard lump "pushing" up high near my ribs, which is apparently a foot! DH has also felt this but Boo tends to move when we prod the foot, and then move it back later!

Also, just wait until they're getting too big to go transverse (lying across you), but they still try it. I spent 20 minutes sat bolt upright whilst trying to get my shoes off the other day because Boo'd gone transverse, and I couldn't bend down!!

Im soo jealous I dont feel anything.I cant really tell whats hard and what isnt and im not big at all. One side is usually alot more sore than the other side. Sometimes I think I feel baby but then its gas or my stomach will start to rumble (even if im not hungry). I think ive felt two hard thuds, butterflies made three times and usually in the night im uncomfortable the most with ways I lay so I think thats baby? Every scan we've had baby is moving around like CRAZY and I dont feel anything. I really hope I do soon its making me depressed!

 

[DaisyMai]

Thanks Babyboo, i just cant believe how strong he is at just over 18 weeks!
Im going to be battered and bruised by the time im at your stage!

Can you remember what you felt earlier on?
Its like a tennis ball under my skin, its so prominent.Quite scary at times.
I get a heavy feeling, then feel him moving and i place my hand there and its rock solid!!

Im enjoying it of course, but cant help but think its too close to the surface.

I'm having twin boys and I'm 22 weeks and I can feel right about at my belly button area and I will feel where they are. I know that's what it is, because when they get to kicking I can feel their little kicks against my hand. It is reassuring to know where they are and to feel their little kicks lol.

ooh I noticed this morning in bed that my bump was harder on one side and then later after I'd been moving around that it was harder on the other. OH said it was the baby but I didn't pay any attention. It must've been, if that's what it feels like for others
Now, I'm just waiting to feel LO definitely move!

 

[DaisyMai]

Yep, sounds like baby! I'm sure you will feel little one soon....

I cant wait for my scan now, be interesting to see what hes getting up to in there! lol Sitting on my bladder mainly

To be honest, I got lots of "flutters" early on, that I didn't realise were baby at all! I had 2 occasions where I felt as if I'd gone over a bump in the road (you know when it makes your stomach "flip") which I now realise was baby flipping over. I only realised what I was feeling when I went for a specialist scan at Manchester (long story) and they took the time to show me where in my stomach Boo actually was, and showed me on the scan where he was punching my stomach, and it suddenly dawned on me that what I was feeling was actually baby! I was 19+5 at the time, but because I have a high anterior placenta, and Boo's my first, I'd not made the connection as I'd been told I'd prob be 25+ before I felt anything!

Even now, even though some of his kicks etc hurt, there's still nothing like feeling him jive away in there!
