A member asked:
I am 19 weeks preg. i am feeling kicks under my rib cage. is that possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on position: A 19 week uterus reaches your navel. If you are sitting and leaning forward, it could nearly reach some ribs. Remember that your intestines are pushed up now, and movement of the intestines can feel very similar to a small fetus, and these are up against your ribcage now.
