Baby only kicks on one side?

Question

Hi everyone,
I'm currently 21w4d and I've been feeling my son kick since 19 weeks. He's ALWAYS on my right side though. Is this normal? He's very active and I've never felt him kick on the left side, only on my right. When we do the doppler at the doctors or at home, he's always on the right side as well.

Answer

I'm only 18+5 so it's early but I have been feeling baby for about 2 weeks and it (we find out gender in a week) is also always on the right side. I've felt it like once on the left. Glad it's not just me!

Hey I see that this is older - but I’m having same issue - only feeling right side kicks at 21 weeks - and LOTS of them - but none on my left side ! - the thing is I’m having TWINS ( mono -di ) and one is more on left other is more on right. But in my recent ultrasound sound they were both very active. I asked and my placenta is underneath  NOT on the left - so imconfused . There was not a tech  at US not dr so I couldn’t ask. Any ideas ??

Answer

That's just his favorite spot apparently!!! Mine punches and kicks but she's so active and likes to do flips so I'll get kicked all the way down by my hip bone then agin at the top of my uterus then she'll punch right under my belly button and sometimes a lot lower. They just prefer to be in certain places. I'm 22 weeks and 5 days

Answer

The placenta could be on the side you are not feeling. Not to worry, as long as you are feeling something.

Answer

Yep. Baby boy only kicks right side and snuggles in there at 23 weeks
