WHERE do you feel your kicks?

I'm 21+1 and have been feeling what I assume is baby movement for a couple of weeks but its always really low down, like almost below my bump around my knicker line (big knickers though). I was just wondering if I should have felt it in other places by now or if what I'm actually feeling is just gas?!

It depends where the baby is.
You might be feeling gas shifting as the baby kicks the bowels. But it could also be a sign of the increased pressure. It's hard to tell at this stage, but if it happens when you are still then it's more likely to be the baby, I think.

I'm 31 weeks and still feel most kicks really low down (almost behind my pubes). A recent scan showed baby is head down with fists in front of face like a little boxer. I seem to get very few leg kicks.

At 21 weeks the kicks were below the belly button and often much lower. Now (31 weeks) I still get the odd hit very low down, like euro, and the odd kick higher up, but often it's just shifts and moves and crazy stretching bum sticking outs than actual kicks or hits. He's a wriggle bum!

At 21 weeks lots of your uterus is very low down, so yep that's normal.

I still get low kicks at almost 29 weeks.

I think where your placenta is can cause you to not feel some kicks at that stage, they have so much space at 21 weeks i bet they are moving around alot and kicking all over but you're only feeling the low down ones. About 24-25 weeks i could feel everyone, some low some high, some kicking into body (back) some kicking out towards belly. Now at 29+5 he seems to have settled his feet into my right ribs and i'm guessing he's turned for good now as kicks don't seem to move away from there

Am 32+4 and I feel kicks all over the place so never know if it is a hand, foot or any other body part!! I used to get them really low down when I could first feel them a mm d that was between 17-24 weeks, then more from about 22 weeks were I had a bit of a crossover

At 21 weeks mainly on my cervix! Now, at 30 weeks, I have no idea really. All over. It's more squirmy than kicky.

26 weeks, mostly into my bladder or around my cervix. Sometimes some prodding under my ribs top right, but that's pretty rare and usually comes with a real swirly feeling and I assume is a somersault or something.
