Have lots of stupid things to ask ! Sorry !!
Am size 16 usually so never been thin - am 26 weeks and still have a bit of a flabby tummy at the bottom but a hard tummy above belly button - does this sound right ?
Baby kicking like mad but only down ways - like right onto my hoochie !!
Am I mad to be concerned about such stupid things ?

Thanks luvvies x x x

yes, that is the top of the uterus you can feel, the fundus, which is above your belly button by this stage, it is like a muscular ridge .. of course you can ask your MW next tiem you go !

if you can feel it, that's good. I don't think it really matters at 26 weeks where it is kicking! It when it kicks on my bladder that I really notice how much it hurts...

I'm the same size as you, and when I was pg, I had a lovely baby bump and then my normal flabby tummy underneath!!!! When people commented on how big I was, I always used to remind them that baby was covered in a layer of cake!!!! Don't worry, everything sounds fine!
