What is my bump made of??

Yep as your uterus grows and rises up it pushes everything eles up with it And huge congrats btw! O and welcome xxxx

 

hello and welcome! and congrats!

yup baby takes up bump, all your organs are squished above around behind and everywhere,

 

I've found the bit at the top, between boobs & belly button is all your organs squished up. Which is why we suffer heartburn etc as your stomach is all squished!

The bit below the belly button is the LO....at my stage anyway.....I'm hoping as time progresses it'll round out fully.

 

I wondered this too, I have a definite bump but I know at my stage most of it isn't baby xx

 

This pic might help...

Anything above the line for your gestation is not baby. So you can now tell where abouts your baby is.

 

I say its all baby bump, if baby wasnt in their then nothing would be all squished up to the top. xx

 

They tend to move up and towards your back hun as they will eventually need to make more room for the baby. Techically your bump is measured according to your fundus height (see last pic) as that is the measurement that your midwife goes on to tell if you are measuring big or small for your dates.

You'll get a bump very soon hun don't worry. I felt like a fraud walking around mothercare and used to push my belly out in an attempt to make myself look more pregnant.

 

I was wondering why it is when i listen to baby on the doppler i find the heartbeat really low down like near my lady parts Why is it so low? I thought baby would be a little higher up by now? xx

 

Think mine is made up of fizzy cola bottles, wham bars, chocolate fingers, pizza, yum yums, skittles and all the naughty stuff that baby always wants to eat

 

I'm 23 weeks and my baby still likes to live down there. They lie wherever they are most comfy. Plus being there gives them more room to jump around without hitting anything.

 

Crap sorry for hijacking your thread lol, i was just looking for that i was ment to start a new thread im sorry hun xx Ooo ok so its normal, was abit worried baby was in the wrong place thanks hun xx

 

Hi

Have a look at this link

If you push the bar on the right hand side picture towards the right, you will see how yoru bump develops and organs are pushed out of the way to accomodate.

The baby is still relatively low till the late stages of gestation so very normal to hear hb towards your lower uterus. Also, the hb is always closer to wear the babys head and shoulders are

That is way cool, thanks for sharing!! Really helps to understand

 

Love that link! Thanks for sharing it.

 

Thanks for sharing! x

 

I thought I was the only one that did that. I find that no matter how big I get all the other women in pregnancy/baby shops are always bigger - how dare they
