I am 18 weeks and the last few days I have felt kicks off to the side.. a couple of inches to the side from where I thought the uterus would be... how far can he push the uterus off center??
She/he only does this when really swimming around and kicking and punching

It'll push around quite a bit.
When I was that pregnant with my eldest, she'd stretch and move so much, it looked like that scene from Alien when the thing bursts out of the guy's stomach. Without the bursting out, of course.
Your uterus has lots of give - it'll hold up to all of the poking and prodding junior does.
Uteruses can accomodate a 10- or bigger- lb baby, a large placenta plus all that fluid surrounding the baby. Don't sweat it. After all, the largest baby ever born was 22lb 8 oz - born the normal way without complications- so you have plenty of room!

They can stretch around a lot. When my wife was having the baby, you could see the kicks towards the end through not-so-tight clothes.
Don't be concerned, the womb is made to be very stretchy. We had friend who had a 10 lb. baby, and everything was okay. I've never heard of the uterus rupturing from the baby athletics that go on.
You should have health and see your baby in a good time.

Your uterus can safely accomodate a 7 to 8 lb. up to 23 inches baby safely. My 4 ft 10 inch sister had a baby that weight 9 lbs.8 ounces safely.

they can stretch that uterus a whole lot. When I was pregnant with my kids I would feel it in my ribs back sides sometimes it reall hurt. The uterus was made to stretch an extreme amount though so it's fine just uncomfortable at times. have fun and good luck

there is enough "potential room" to grow 5 babies in there !! there is no limiting the baby, the uterus will streach as big as needed :)

I don't think anyone can answer that question. You will be perfectly fine when the baby kicks.
