Strangely high kicks?

Question

I’m 19 weeks, second pregnancy and I’ve been feeling the baby move for a while now but it’s recently transitioned from just flutters to actual kicks. Well tonight, I’m laying flat on my back (just temporarily) and I’m feeling kicks about 2 inches above my belly button. Isn’t that way too high? My uterus should stop basically right below my belly button at this point right?

Answer

It could be a muscle spasm you mistook for a kick (I've done this before). But also your uterus will expand faster this time around, I've definitely noticed mine has. I'm 20 weeks today and I'm pretty sure mine is just above my belly button now even tho I remember the doc in my last pregnancy saying the uterus doesn't hit the belly button until 20 weeks.

Answer

Maybe just the position of the baby? I went for my 20 week ultrasound and she was breach and I definitely feel all my kicks low so maybe your baby is head down or something and the feet are high
