Hi everyone. I just wanted some feedback on this as I'm finding it a little odd/potentially worrying! I purchased a fetal heart monitor online a few weeks ago and have been using it regularly to listen to baby. Each time I've used it I've found baby's heart somewhere between my belly button and pubis as per the instructions, and nearly always in the same place, sometimes on a different side of my abdommen. Yesterday, I spent ages trying to find her heartbeat, when I finally did it was really clear and strong but right down low by my pubis- in my knickers! I had the same thing today, she's sitting that low! I've noticed i'm on the loo more than normal too and all movements are lower down. This is my fifth pregnancy and I know my last engaged at around 32 weeks but 26 weeks! I perhaps wouldn't worry as much but I did have one of my girlies at 34 weeks so I do have a history of early labour. Has anyone else had any experience of this? Is is normal?
 
i wouldnt worry too much, my baby sits really low at times, for my scan they had to tilt the bed back to move her up as they couldnt get some measurements with her being so low but my friends a midwife and said they move in and out of this position up until about 30 weeks. if ur worried check with ur midwife tho xxx
