Movements?

I’m currently 22 weeks +1. I’ve been feeling baby since 16 weeks and the movements and kicks are always in my pelvis/ lower belly and that hasn’t changed. I’ve had the odd movement just under my belly button but nothing else. I also haven’t seen any on the outside. Is this normal? I swear in my first pregnancy the movements were higher in my belly by this point and my partner could see and feel movements.

I feel my kicks right under my belly button. Gender scan said everything is fine so not feeling too worried. 🙃 it's probably where baby likes to chill and kick the most. Not helpful for them desperate wees though 😅

I either feel all of my kicks/movement below my belly button or just to the left. Using a doppler, I've realised that baby hangs out right behind my belly button a lot, which I don't feel, which is why I can go a while without feeling much during the day

Do you know the placement of your placenta? I am 22 weeks and I only feel movment on the lower half of my belly and sides. Some days I can go a whole day without feeling her and I panic and then she goes crazy again. I've been told not to worry about movement yet x

I’m 19weeks+6day a third time Mum been feeling baby under my belly button at 17weeks but yesterday and today I felt Deep kicks in my tummy that Feels Soo Beautifully good So Happy each and every time

I was told at my 20wk scan that I have a high placenta (anterior) and therefore can expect to feel kicks low, because the placenta is cushioning the higher ones. I only ever feel baby very low down. Could this be similar to you?

Second pregnancy here too and same as you, it's all been way lower than with my first. My husband has felt a couple of kicks, but extremely low rather than near my belly button.
