Bump Shift??

Question

Has anyone noticed a bump shift? End of week 27 and up until now, my little man has been hanging out in my hips so I didn't have a bump really, just looked like I ate too much! But this morning my belly felt super tight and almost achey... he's been out behind my belly button all day!

Is it normal for them to move higher as opposed to lower? My logic is telling me that maybe he's outgrown my hips and has moved into a bigger space? Have a doc appt Wednesday (glucose... wish me luck!) so can ask her then but just wanting reassurance that I'm not the only one!

Answer

I think it happened sooner for me but yeah, that sounds about right. They outgrow the space behind the pubic bone and have to move up to be able to fit. Now, my little guy is still all over the place and he likes to not only get head down but he still wedges himself down in there which gives me a very uncomfortable pressure in my pubic bone for a few minutes. But the rest of him is up in the belly part of me and sometimes he does stretch out the long way across. Anyway, short answer is yes, this is normal.
