Baby Movement Question....

This may sound like a strange question, but I will explain:

When you felt your baby move for the first time, where did you feel it?

For the past few weeks, I have felt a weird feeling right under my right boob...like by my bra line. I was explaining this to my SILs (who both have children) and their first reaction was it was the baby...... So I looked at them like they were crazy, I am 17.5 weeks, there is no way I could possibly feel the baby by my boob, right? When I press on the area, I can feel something move from the inside (not on the outside). So weird, I feel like it is a misplaced body part or something....

Anyone have experience with this at all?

Re: Baby Movement Question....

I have been getting weird numbing/pulse like pains right under my left boob (along my bra line) since about 16 weeks or so. I think it's just from my rib cage expanding because it goes away once I take off my bra. But I'm positive it's not the baby. I've never felt her kick higher than my belly button and I'm 25 weeks. I'm no expert but I don't think that your LO would be kicking you that high at this point. I think your uterus only reaches about as high as your belly button at 17 weeks. Sorry I'm not much help.

I doubt it's the baby that high. At my 20 week sono last week they said the baby's head is down very low and his/her tushie is by my belly button. I sometimes get sharp pains in my upper stomach area, kind of below the boob area and the doc said it's because the baby is pushing my stomach up. So maybe it's your stomach?

Re: Baby Movement Question....

Thank you so much for replying! I didn't think it was the baby that high, but they have had babies so I thought maybe I didn't know anything...lol

The weird feeling happens with or without my bra on...and it is a numbing, moving type of feeling...soooo strange! My DH thinks that I'm feeling the after effects of the baby moving (I haven't felt LO yet). I think it is my stomach...yikes!

Re: Baby Movement Question....

I'd mention it to the dr.

but I don't think it's the baby. Not hat high up. The baby at this point for you should be by your bellybutton and below.
