At 18 weeks???

I am 18weeks as of yesterday... Should I be feeling baby moving right under my ribs already?
To me that seems rather high at this point.

Hmm...didn't think about that.
This is #3 but it has been over 4years since I was at this stage in pregnancy, I feel like I've started over, LoL, it been so long since I had a lo that I couldn't send home at the end of the afternoon ;-)

Well, another thing to remember is that a ftm is very different from a 2nd or so on mom. They show a lot faster and the uterus stretches more

My uterus is about a finger below my belly button at this point, but I have been feel tons of little kicks in my right side under my ribs. It been crazy and thought it was still to early to be feeling him there yet.

No, at 18 weeks you can't possibly be feeling the baby under your ribs. The uterus is only as high as your belly button, at most. The baby is only the size of a bell pepper at this point. ..

Depend on baby's position. My placenta is in the back, and up until my last appointment my daughter wZ laying cross wise my tummy, so I felt her basically everywhere. Now at 29weeks she's head down but your baby could be in a lot of different positions . When is your anatomy scan? Soon riight? They'll tell you the position then :)
