Why's my baby still kicking low?

Hello, 23 weeks pregnant. Just advice I need really. At my 20 week scan I was told he's head down but not In a Dangerous way. But he's still low and the kicks are always low down way under my bellybutton, I put this down to not being a skinny women etc. but he just doesn't seem too be moving any higher up no side kicks or nothing ? Anyone had this?

I'm no expert but I think at this stage there is still so much space that the baby can flip round quite easily. Maybe that is your baby's favoured trampolining position.

They can flip back around at that stage.

Yes they turn easily at that age, still plenty of room for them to move around. Plus what feels like ‘kicks’ from feet may actually be little punches from hands near their face.

@LittleRobins that makes more sense tbh, he's quite strong lol he's active all day All night 😂

It might be that they have their legs up at their head.

I went for a 4D scan last week at 29 weeks, baby is head down but he had both his legs and arms stretched up around his head haha. Explained why I feel so much movement low down.

im 21 weeks my kicks are almost always just above my public line very low! but I had a scan last week they didnt mention the baby's positions so unsure on that but mine are so low right on my bladder I cant even feel the kicks like in my actual vagina which isn't very comfy !!

U@ejndwejnfk well mine differ! Like I feel something on my side under my belly button but I feel him low too so I'm not sure I'll find out in a couple week at the 4D scan lol x
