i'm 19-weeks-pregnant, and i notice a large lump on my bump usually in the mornings! i'm sure it's the baby. i look down on my bump, and can tell without even feeling it where the baby is. obviously this is my first pregnancy, and so i'm not sure what's normal and what isn't. but i'm surprised that it is still such early days and i can feel my baby over my bump, and indeed it's kicks are very strong. most women say they only feel their first flutters of movement at 18 weeks, but i felt definite kicks at 17 weeks, and they are getting stronger and stronger, but this uneven bump is bizarre, and i'm wondering, is this common or normal? ↓

Normal it depends on which way your baby is laying. As you get further along you can see even more bumps sticking out. ↑

yeah my belly is larger on the side where the baby is laying...she likes my right side...its normal i think...ask your doctor if you are really worried though ↑

I have a lump really low on my right side...and when I went in for my u/s they said my baby was laying low and on the right...so I think all its just ur baby ...Oh, and I heard the more caffeine u drink can make the baby kick harder and more often...Dunno if it's true but, something to concider . ↑

I didn't notice my lump until later on, but now I see it all the time. I can sit here and watch my belly ripple when baby rolls over. It scares DH half the time -- he'll put his hand on my belly to feel her, and she kicks it off of my belly. All I can do is laugh when he jumps! ↑

Tyler is uneven all the time, he moves to one side and will stay there, and i look funny with a lop-sided belly! ↑

My belly was all screwy when I was pregnant! Sometime is was lopsided, sometimes it was smaller, sometimes it was bigger, and I swear to God that it was even square a few times (when I was having contractions). I kept wondering what position a 5 pound baby could possibly get himself into to make it look like that! ↑

I have the same thing. The Ob said it is a fibroid on my uterus and NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. Mine is 2 by 3inches. (or so-it is 5 by 4 cm). Often you will have it before the pregnancy and then as the hormones come along it grows. Mine is sometimes "swollen" sometimes not. It does make my uterus feel uneven. ↑

murph i think she meant the baby being on one side and it being raise dmore rather than having an actual lump. ↑
