I Can Feel A Strong Movement Of My Baby S Head Moving Upwards In My Tummy. Does This Usually Happen To All Pregnant Women?
Hi, I am 31 week pregnant and getting strong punch in the womb and i also feel a strong movment of my baby head movng upwards in my tummy. Is this usually happens to all pregnant women. As of now my scan report tell all seems to be normal. Regards, Kanaga.
This is very common feeling especially in first time mothers. So please do not worry.
The movements that you feel near your upper tummy are most likely due to the babies feet as commonly [ not always] the head lies low down in the uterus and the feet lie on the upper part [ the baby lies in an upside down or head down position].
The feet move more vigorously [ imagine a child kicking its legs] and so they are appreciated more easily as they are big movements. If the abdomen is thin [ as in thin ladies] the movements are appreciated even more.
So this is nothing to worry about. If all the reports are normal then just enjoy your pregnancy.
Wish you a happy pregnancy and safe delivery. Dr Madhuri Bagde Consultant Ob Gyn
