    When does the uterus reach your belly button?

    Ok, pregnancy #4 and I still have questions lol... Tonight's question is stated in the title, but I wanted to know, does it move up faster in subsequent pregnancies or is it the same every time? The placenta is anterior, so I only ever feel bub moving on my sides. Tonight I've been laying on my left, I can feel bub playing on the right hand side - in a direct line with my belly button, but I'm only 17 weeks. Just out of interest I'm asking, no real urgency lol, just curious?

    Around 20ish weeks, give or take. Think that's the average.

    What she said lol. But position would also change depending on your position.

    I'm 17 weeks with third baby and mine is in line with belly button. I think it depends on your anatomy. My placenta is also anterior and it's so weird to have movement only on the sides. My placenta is on the right, so I really only feel movt on the left. It still creeps me out I can't feel it on the right!
