    Comfy baby

    Has anyone else found that their bub seems to like hanging really low down near your bladder? In the morning and night when I'm lying in bed I feel lots of kicks up much higher, but then during the day I tend to only feel movement really low down. Lots of bladder kicks!

    It must be nice and comfy down there!

    Mine likes to hang around up top in the morning and seems to be down the bottom in the afternoon. lol, don't know what that's about but the bladder kicks are a weird feeling like someone pinching my bladder, gives me the heeby jeebys, lol

    I think I'm still a bit early to be feeling regular movements but could it be the effects of gravity? Easier to stay low when you're moving around and upright during the day and then explore higher up when you're lying down??

    My bub has taken to occupying the right side of my stomach of a morning - it's happened a few times and I end up with a VERY lopsided stomach Thank goodness it evens out when I get up!

    I have no idea where mine is at the moment!

    I think its the anterior placenta... makes feeling things a bit harder...

    I am pretty sure my boy loves spending the majority of his time upside down. We have started calling him Monkey Boy! I feel his foot shoved up under my right rib cage which can get pretty uncomfortable. Yesterday I could have sworn I had a bruise from it. I wonder if he can feel me touching him from the outside.
    Not sure where he is right now, he seems pretty quiet today, probably sleeping. I love feeling him kick its so reassuring!

    Yeah, mine doesn't move too too much, its usually 2 places where I feel the most...the unpleasant one is kicking in my right ribs and its not nice at all (even if it is just to know the bub is there and alive) My fav is when jelly bean (we haven't upgraded, usually gets referred to as JB nowadays!) kicks on the inside of my tummy, it feels like bubbles in my stomach and I love it. This is also the best spot for DH to feel JB. I sometimes get feeling at the bottom, but not too often, could be my anterior placenta affecting too.

    Those bladder kicks make me jump sometimes! When I feel bubs down low, it often feels like funny little pulses... such an odd feeling. I like the kicks he does up higher, cause they're always stronger. Maybe I should try doing a headstand to get him to move that way...

    Yep I noticed movement the other day that was really strange ! It was quite low and it was a constant fluttering. It probably went for a good 10 seconds as opposed to a old kick or push. It felt very tickly! I kinda imagined the baby wiggling a bit like how one climbs a ladder !! it made me laugh
