High bump question..

Slightly odd question but ....I am 19 + 3 with baby #4. I already have a noticeable bump (as lots of people have so kindly pointed out) which actually sits pretty high. Why is this? I feel the baby kick and it is all very low down. It's not the baby so why does my tummy protrude from below my ribs already???

I guess I want to know as I am slightly worried that when it is the baby it will have no room and I will actually be the size if a small elephant!

I'm now 35+2 with my first; I had a very high top bump where baby wasn't at about 20 weeks, with barely any bumpage from the baby it's self; I figured it was all mu guts moving up out the way ready for bay to start growing.

From what I understand, ladies who have had previous babies are likely to show bumps earlier as the stomach muscles are weakened from before.

My bump as since moved down a little but it still larger above my belly button than it is lower down.

I have a high bump and low kicks, and baby has been breech for the past 8 weeks (now 28 weeks). Not sure if the two are related!

Posted a thread a while ago about needing to go up around 3 sizes in bra width as a result Blush

I thought it was from bloating?

My bump is high too and feels very hard above belly button level and generally a bit flabbier below that.

I also only seem to get kicks at belly button and below level though.

I swear she's breech. How des a MW tell this without a scan by the way?? Confused
