I am worried because I was reading about pregnancy at 25 weeks and it states that a baby at this age should be about an inch above your belly button, well, the way I'm shaped..(I'm a big girl) I have a pouch, and a belly so when I sit down the roll goes over the pouch. My baby is still in the pouch lower..and hasn't moved up in my belly (above belly button) what does this mean? what can I do?? Will my baby be okay? Please help.

Being a big girl myself, I can tell you that at that stage it is not really possible to tell exactly where your baby is. I wouldn't worry about something like that. I carried my baby girl low throughout the whole pregnancy and she is perfect. Don't let things you read spook you too much. Most are just guidelines. If your doc says you growing normally, then you are fine.

remember that what you read on the internet and in pamphlets are only guidelines.
your baby is likely just fine and it is absolutely normal to worry about every issue that comes up - especially if you're one to follow "guidelines" --
try and remember that these aren't rules that either make or break a pregnancy... so don't worry so much because that is what can cause unnecessary harm to a baby.
When all else fails, call your doctor's office, and they will reassure you. But, if ever you feel that something is "wrong" it is up to you to make the right intuitive decision on whether or not to go to ER or visit your doctor. It is also really good to join a website with other expecting mothers (like storknet.com or something similar, try a web search)... this will help your pregnancy worries.
God Bless you and for a wonderfully healthy baby.

Relax, worrying too much is not good for you and the baby. I can understand but try not to worry about it. Babies develop differently, she/he will be okay. If he hasnt moved to where they say he should be according to what you read, maybe he is developing differenntly. However it might help you relax if you go to your Doctor and let them reassure you, they will let you know if there is a problem.
I suggest you talk to your Doctor about it and have her check it out, they will let you know if there is a problem or not...otherwise it could be nothing. Good luck girl and God bless!

if this is your first pregnancy, your uterus is very toned and therefore will only grow as the baby grows, so this could be very normal. with my first child, no one could tell i was pregnant until i was 7 months and then couldn't believe that i was that far along. each pregnancy after that it loses tone and therefore expands easier. what did your ultrasound say about gestational size, if it was within range, i wouldn't worry about it. but if it will make you feel better, talk to your obgyn at your next appt. good luck.

This is perfectly normal. I am thin and 30 weeks pregnant and mine is low also and the doctors are not concerned at all. Keep in mind that everyone carries different
congrats!

Talk to your doctor.
Your weight or external physical form should have no bearing on your uterine development during pregnancy...
I'm a big girl too and I was just fine.
Relax mama

Everybody carries their baby different. The only one who can answer this question for you is your doctor. Ask them, do not be afraid.
