Baby kicks?

Question

Ok so I’m seriously second guessing myself. I’m 18.5 weeks but I just felt like baby was using me as a punching bag. I haven’t felt much movement yet from baby until right now. It would happen multiple times for multiple seconds straight, HOWEVER the reason I’m questioning is because it was like right under my ribs. Is it too early to be that high?? Maybe it was a diaphragm twitch, but I have never had a diaphragm twitch so not sure why it would happen now. Thoughts?

Answer

I had the same thing since 18 weeks! I asked my obgyn because I was freaked out, I thought the baby was too small to reach up there already? Nope, she said it’s possible. Everyone is different. I had some abdominal surgery’s so she said my uterus could also be a little higher, also because it’s my second baby...Anyway, different bodies, different babies, different sensations and experiences, so it could absolutely be the baby.

Answer

It’s very unlikely (although I’m sure not impossible!) as the uterus typically doesn’t even reach past the belly button until 20 weeks. More likely to be a little muscle spasm as you said!

Answer

That is very high for being so early in gestation. As for feeling “too low”, your uterus is low and the baby is so small at that week that it can be in any position ( feet up, down, by hips, etc. ) 
Maybe just gas . 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

Mines the opposite. Sometimes I feel like it’s too low lol. I get a little kick/spasm right in the pelvis area maybe 4 inches down from my belly button 🤔 so I never know! I’m 18 almost 19 wks too
