23 weeks and feeling kicks REALLY low down?
Hi everyone,
I'm starting to get concerned.
Normally I feel kicks anywhere from below my belly button to below my ribs.
I have just recently (last 40 mins) been feeling kicks really really low down, never ever felt it so low. Its down towards my 'you know what'!
It feels so surreal.
Is this just normal?
At 16 weeks I went into hospital and they discovered my cervix was open so was at risk of miscarriage or premature birth but ultrasonographer at 20 week scan said there was 'no funnelling' now, which I think meant its not open.
I'm so scared of premature birth at the mo and get scared at every little thing.
Its probably nothing to do with it but last night I had really strong period type pains, which i was worried about but soon put it to the back of my mind.
Am I just being stupid?!
Can anyone tell me if they know whats happening or if their baby kicks so low? xx

If you don't mind an amusing and slightly icky story (hope not cause I'll repeat it anyway!!) - I was told about someone who's hubby got kicked in the willy during sex by the baby..so baby must have had an arm or a leg pretty low down. Made me laugh a lot when I heard that one.
Do you have a mw appt any time soon? I think I was around 24 weeks when the mw first started feeling for my babys position - if you know where your baby is lying it might help you figure out where you are likely to get kicked

Thank you xxxxxxxxx

I am 22 weeks - and have only felt really low kicks its always feels like its just above my bikini line very low, but apprently its because of the way the baby is lying and at the moment it is lying hip to hip so across. Apparently very comfortable the midwife told me.
Midwife also said - you should never worry if your feeling kicks no matter where they are.

My baby is doing it right now and hubby was giving me funny looks as i was on all fours trying to make her change position as it was just grossing me out too much!
Thank you for all your answers ladies, i really appreciate it! I'll mention it to my midwife in a few weeks (if i've got one by then!) but i'm not worried at all now! xxx
I had my scan today baby is laying across (from hip to hip) so not really sure if it was feet or hands now! Im having a gorgeous baby boy, so happy!
