Baby protruding and moving all over
My baby is very active and I feel he doesn't seem to be contained in one area. At the moment I have what looks like a lump protruding from my stomach, about an inch from my navel.
An hour ago, I felt a hard lump high in my abdomen, just under my right breast. It all feels very uncomfortable and wondered is this normal to feel parts of the baby protruding?

Thanks Octavius. I'm almost 30 weeks. I went to the dentist yesterday and the stupid woman tipped the chair back, so my head was pointing towards the floor. I thought I was going to stop breathing, as I could feel the baby push up into my chest.I felt unwell all day.
He doesn't seem to like being pressed against either and if I'm cuddled up to my partner at night, my bump against partner's back, baby does give him a good kicking in the spine.

Are you expecting a girl velvetee, they tend to be more active in utero? From a website...
Although your baby's first muscle movements were involuntary, the first voluntary muscle movements occur around week 16. After this point, awake or asleep, your baby moves 50 times or more each hour, flexing and extending her body, moving her head, face, and limbs, and exploring her warm, wet compartment by touch. A baby may touch her face, touch one hand to the other hand, clasp her feet, touch her foot to her leg, or her hand to the umbilical cord. By week 37, your baby has developed enough coordination so that he or she can grasp with the fingers.
Along with these common movements, babies perform some odder activities, including licking the uterine wall and "walking" around the womb by pushing off with its feet.
Possibly in the next few weeks as the available space becomes less and less the movement may slow down a bit, but you might as well relax and enjoy that unique feeling eh!

All perfectly normal - it used to feel really funny when you sat upright after lying on your side - the baby would have settled resting on the bed while you are on your side, when you sit up, you feel him scrambling about to get comfy again - you notice it less as they become engaged and have less room to move about. My first was almost 10 pounds and I was really slim before pregnancy, so I had this massive solid bump - you could actually feel his limbs etc through the bump - well spooky!!!!
