Is your baby off center?

[sillygoosegirl]

Sometimes the right side of my belly looks like it's 3-4 months further along than the left side.  I don't know why the baby likes the right so much more than the left.  It's like he/she is trying to leave room for an imaginary twin on the other side of the womb.  Anyone else have this?  

My midwife isn't concerned, but dang does it ever look and feel weird!

Mine has been asymmetrical since I had a noticeable belly. And my belly button has moved further and further off-center (weird). Sometimes the kiddo hangs out on one side or the other and that looks pretty strange, but usually doesn't last long. I still remember Blue Moon posting a pic of her belly when the baby was on one side and it was dramatically asymmetric. I haven't seen mine go quite that extreme yet but I don't think it's anything to worry about.

It's not constant, but if he's awake, then he's hanging out on my left side. It's especially noticeable at night time, because my belly is a lot more pronounced on the left. I keep meaning to take a pic, because it cracks us up.

Even with twins, I am not symmetrical. My left side tends to be fuller. DD hung out on my left side too, head down back along my left side bum up near my ribs and arms and legs pushing into the right side. so she wasn't evenly distributed either.

Yeah, my little guy has his butt sticking up on my right side. That's where he likes to hang out, and that side of my belly is definitely lopsided from my point of view.

Yes, he's always hung out on my right side. I don't think it's so obvious that other people can see it most of the time, but my belly is not symmetrical.

[bluelikejazz]

Yes. Sometimes when I lean back slightly, you can see and "indent" on the left side of my belly where baby isn't, and my right side stays the same.

Yep! He likes to hang out on my right side, just like his big sister often did, and it looks a little lopsided from above. My belly button has moved right as well.

My belly was always funky. A would be in the middle and B was off to the right side with her butt sticking way out and head in my ribs. I used to take pics of it all the time at work when I was sitting.

The funny thing is if I hold both of them they still go to that position. Funny to see how they fought for room in the womb

I only seem to feel little girl kick when she's squirreled herself off to my lower right side. She's squirmy!

He's too little to tell yet, but he seems to kick or punch me pretty square in the middle most of the time.

That is adorable.

My little dude likes to hang out on the left side and gets annoyed if I try to poke him.
