how far down is baby?

[tinytoes]

I read that at my stage - 15/16 weeks the uterus is about 3inches below my belly botton. I guess this is the upper limit for baby?....gosh, he/she is low down....so the buldge and bump higher up is just my innerds squishing up? sometimes it feel so hard.

is this right?

I was thinking about this the other day when i went to midwifes, when she was listening to heart beat she used the doppler and found the baby still quite low down, lower then i expected, was probably a a couple of inches lower then belly button like you said. She said this was normal and that everything was moving up/growing or whatever it does! normally anyway.

I'm further on but at 18 weeks when I was in hospital the heartbeat was very low down. Now my midwife can find it anywhere up to my ribs! It'll grow quickly!

My LO is still very low, it loves to get as low down as possible.

Does anyone notice it being at one side more then the other?!?

When i went for my scan it was over on the left and same went i went to listen to heart beat.... also when i feel flutters, scratching is always on that side

I was shocked when I went in to my OB the first time and they looked for the heartbeat at how low the baby was! Like you I've noticed that up above my belly button is hard! I thought it was the baby until my appointment!!

My Peanut is still down really low too. She can't really hang out on one side anymore though, since she's getting too big, she's kinda stretched out across the lower area. Kinda weird though..where the tech found her head on the scan yesterday is where I feel all my movement, could've sworn her feet were right there.

At the scan today Junior had his head right down at the bottom in my pelvis on like the left hand side, but his feel were right at the top on the right hand side. He was like diagonal.... he changed round half way through as well so his head were were his feet were and vice versa. I feel kicks really low down sometimes, but quite high as well. He's a fidget!

yesterday was the first day that I've been able to feel my baby higher. Usually it's down between my hips. I felt it up by my the bottom of my ribs.

 

[ColtonsMom]

mine's head was way down low toward my pelvis area. His HB has always been found really low though, even though my doctor told me that he has taken up all the room (up and down) that he can and is only going to grow outward now.

Yep that is all right! x

LOL I'm right with ya! LO has been as far down as he can go- lovingly kicking my cervix and bladder. It's cute because it's not a strong kick yet but still makes me want to pee!

 

[JessNJeremy]

My LO must like to stretch out cuz he/she is always just a few inches below my bellybutton and when I lay flat or almost flat I can feel the hard bulge just above my hip area and just tonight I felt much stronger movements! It wasn't like kicking but it felt like baby was swimming and twisting lol! I put my hand over the bulge and it kinda "sunk" down like towards my back then moved left then came back up then moved right. has anyone else experienced movements like that?! It was so neat I do think he/she has snuck down a few times cuz sometimes I feel a twinge of almost pain or discomfort maybe around my cervix and a few right on my bladder but that's when I can't feel the baby when I lay down.
