Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 You would not have felt the baby above your navel already. He/ she is still way down below the navel. It will be happening soon though God Bless, Robin Wife to Pup for 15 years Mommy to- and (twin boys, 8 years) and Daughter Madison- age 5 1/2 and new Mommy to- Emerson Roger born July 28, 2004 at 4:11 am 8lbs 7 oz, 20 1/2 inches long.

With a normal singleton, the uterus usually reaches the mom's belly button at about 20 weeks of gestation. In fact, until 12 weeks the uterus is still tucked inside the pelvis....it doesn't pull up and become an abdominal organ until 12 weeks.... while the very first fetal movements begin at 8 weeks (the first arm and leg bud twitches)....generally you can't feel any of that until at least 11- 13 weeks, with the AVERAGE time of feeling baby moving being around 16-20 weeks. (I was 12.5-13.5 weeks each time I felt my babies moving..and that's extremely extremely freakishly early...it was more like 15 weeks before I felt them every day, several times a day...)

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi Meredith. Mmmm, no such thing as a dumb ?. Who knows? Did you have some beans earlier? Just kidding. I'm a complete amateur, but according to my doc & the weekly newsletter emails, the uterus reaches the navel @ week 20.
