Another pregnancy question, sorry

[mountainboo]

I know I can call my midwife but I wanted to check first, I have been feeling baby kick and move around for a couple of weeks quite regularly and am now 18 weeks. But for about 3 days now I have been feeling strange, almost like rumbling or quick bubbling sensations alot lower down than I've been feeling the kicks. I supose just a tiny bit higher than my pubic bone. Is this normal as I dont really have any idea what the babys position is? Thanks

at 18 weeks baby isnt very high but also has a lot of room to turn somersaults and roll about a lot in there.

Id say that what youre feeling is more than likely just lots of playing by littleboo but check with midwife anyway.
I recall little CRX having hiccups a lot when i was carrying him and that was always a strange feeling.

when further on in pregnancy you will feel firmer pushes and kicks and at the end when baby is head down the kicks will be at your ribs and the punches will be around your cervix, not a comfy feeling at all.

Thanks redcrx, that helps.

have you got the large NHS book about pregnancy (given free by midwives) Im sure that had baby size and approx positions in for each week.

[mountainboo]

Yeah, I have 2 pregnancy books which were given in the pack at 12 weeks, but unfortunatley neither say anything about what I should be feeling or the babys position.

i got 2 in my pack but the one i mean is A4 size.

will go see if i can find my old one.

in the meantime theres this http://www.pregnancyguideonline.com/wk18.htm
