So I'm 20 weeks and I swear I can feel the baby kicking in my foof! Is this normal?!

I wouldn't say foof but im 18 weeks and feeling movement a lot lower down than i thought it would be!

I have been getting the same, she is constantly kicking very low, much more so than I remember with DD1. Not especially comfortable! Hmm

This little chap kicks my ass... Literally! Not a sensation I'm enjoying!

I got that a lot before baby turned... Very painful, and totally normal!

I get that to sometimes it always feels like its at the very top of my leg so strange. I'm 34 weeks now. X

Most likely cervix Smile but yes, entirely normal. I think they think it's a trampoline!!

It is usually lower down at that stage but should get higher up as baby grows & turns.

However, if you get to 34 weeks & you are still getting kicked down be persistent in telling your midwife! I only had kicks down which got quite painful towards the end but being inexperienced first time mum doubted my gut feeling & accepted first midwife opinion that baby was head down - he was breech! Found out at 38wks & had to have elcs.

Yes, feels like she's trying to dig her way out with little fingers through my faffola! Possibly due to fact that its my second baby and everything is a little more stretched down there.

I have that. I get direct hits to my bladder, cervix and bum.... Not pleasant

I also get this (24 weeks). I mentioned to dh that it really felt like the baby was kicking my vagina from the inside!
