Can you feel where your baby is laying from outside?

Question

So sometimes I feel like I can feel my baby getting into a position... and then when I feel my belly where I think she is, my stomach is absolutely rock hard. And then if I prod my belly a little, it’s like she moves and the rock hardness is gone and goes back to being normal. Could this be me being able to feel where my baby has positioned herself?! I’m 23+4. Sorry I’m a FTM so no idea if this is just my normal belly or my baby 😂

Answer

I swear my baby lives on my left side. She is always there! I rarely feel her move on the right and I see/feel the majority of her movements on the left. I will get intense pressure like she is standing up inside of me, and I’ll rub that area and she will move back into a less painful position.

Answer

Usually your belly gets really hard when you have Braxon-Hicks (also known as practice contractions). It’s just your uterus tightening up for a few seconds which helps prepare it for labor later on. You can sometimes get them randomly in the 2nd and 3rd trimester, but they’ll get more consistent towards the end during pre-labor. The tightening sensation can definitely make the baby move around as they try and get comfortable again. If you notice you’re having them a lot, try drinking more water! Dehydration and stress can make them more frequent.

Answer

Yep, my babies are pretty easy to figure out positioning based upon feel and kick locations.

Answer

Same. My sis noticed it on my belly too recently

Answer

I’m a small person so when I lay on my back you can see how lopsided my belly is where she is laying 😂 she loves the left side 😂

Answer

I’ve never been able to feel that.

Answer

Yes! With my pregnancy with my son I would get pressure or pushing and once he was big enough I was able to see an arm or leg pushing out, only that part of my stomach was hard though.  I can already feel and see it with this pregnancy too

Answer

Yes it’s definitely possible. I can feel it to and this is my third.

Answer

Most definitely! I had to meet with an OB surgeon and he was prodding my stomach and helped me feel where the head legs and everything were. They’re big enough you can really feel it now. I am 23 weeks and two days.
