Feeling the movement 🤔

Hi guys

I’m wondering about movement I’m a overweight mum to be and think that’s why my feelings haven’t been great. I’ve had tiny fluttering but they are always in the same spot (to the right of my bellybutton) could this be baby?
Where your movements in the same place?
I’m not sure what I’m even meant to feel but praying it’s baby it would be so lovely to feel her I’m currently 19+5

Sounds very much like movement. Is this your first? It's very common not to few bugger movement until later with a first. Also do you know where your placenta is?

I've been overweight with all my pregnancies. DS1 felt all the time was like watching an alien in there would see hands and feet but had a placenta at the back ... subsequent pregnancy last year DS2 anterior and struggled to feel movement. This time anterior again but feeling much more (despite weighing more!)

My first 'feelings' felt almost like digestion sensations; I couldn't locate them as precisely as that. Congratulations, though, it's lovely to have that reminder of what's going on inside Smile.

They increase around 24 weeks

I'm 21 weeks now also overweight. I've felt a few definite movements the last couple of days when I'm really relaxed, and think I've felt some other times but could have also been gas 😂.

Thanks guys
Yes this is my first so have no idea what I should be feeling hope it’s just not gas lol
Placenta is in front and the sonographer said a good position so shouldn’t be long till I feel movement.
It’s an amazing feeling and a nice reminder of what’s going on inside there

I got the flutterings in the exact same spot as you, but didnt feel proper movements until about 24 weeks.

I felt movement from 15 weeks it was like flutters at first I'm now 19 weeks and the baby rolls over and takes my breath away, the kicks feel very sharp and just random this is my third though x
