I am 20 weeks pregnant now - does anyone know if the baby is capable yet of - doing headstands in the womb LOL... I had this really bad pain in one section just below my ribs and I could have swarn the baby had it's feet there, or it's backside... whatever it was - was quite uncomfortable.

Lately the babies feet seem to be in my left hand side just behind my caesarian section scar.... it is like she spins around in the womb like a stunt plane or something LOL.

I felt my babies moving before 16 weeks, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what you're feeling. My doc told me they flip around until they're just too big to do it anymore. Isn't it fun?

I felt her at around 15 weeks, but honestly not doing what she is doing now LOL.

Yes it is very funny... I think I was under the impression before that babies stayed laying across the womb and then flipped over. During the ultrasound she was rolling around from side to side but not actually going head down/feet up - perhaps a new trick?

If I think she is doing what she is doing, she is standing upright now???

Is anyone else having the same sensations?

I felt my first at 17 weeks then my second at 14 weeks. I anticipate around the same time for this one.

With my dd I could feel her doing all kinds of things. My son would do handstands like crazy! I would feel his head slam down into my cervix and then his feet would get hooked under my ribs then he would pop them back out.... OUCH!!! With him I couldn't wait for him to be born because my ribs and pelvis were so sore!

Isn't it so much fun? :) Our baby is more fun to watch than TV. He gives us our daily morning entertainment. It's so much fun to see my belly moving around and see a little body part push my skin up. I felt what I thought was the baby's head right under my rib cage today. I pushed on it and it moved, so it must have been some part of baby!

Sometimes I wonder if I am carrying twins, because I feel movement at opposite sides of my abdomen at the same time, but that's probably because Kiddo is laying sideways across the womb and kicking me with his feet at the same time that he's poking me with his fingers.
