Please help- 23 week bump

[mwilliams58]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone can help or share experiences about baby bumps.
My stomach has been round for a while lower and upper as I am quite short there isn't a lot of room!

The other night I was lying on the bed and I stretched out and felt quite a large hard bulge at the top of my stomach. It felt like perhaps the baby was up there but all of the movments I have been feeling have been much lower down.
Anytime I stretch backwards now I notice this and it feels hard and you can see a distinct shape sicking out.

Is this normal? Has anyone else had this? Please help- I get exteremely worried about things!

I haven't had this personally, but it sounds to me like the baby has positioned itself vertically with his/her head under your rib cage and feet hanging down, so if the baby is moving their legs around, you'll feel movement low down, but the hard bump you're feeling could be the head. At our stage baby still has plenty of room to wriggle round and move about, so they'll often try out different positions looking for whatever is comfortable.

From the sounds of it you are describing your stomach muscles. Just below boobs in centre going downwards? Perfectly normal.xx
