im 22 weeks and i feel her almost everywhere, somtimes i feel her low but most of the times she kicks high where my bellybutton is or a little bit higher, today  she has been really hyper and ive been watching her moving from one side to another constatly, my belly looks like waves, also ive seen her kick allot today, .  i have heard allot of people here and on yahoo worried because their babies are kicking low, , maybe its just in the position the baby is, also if you are starting to feel the baby kick higher remember that the uterus is higher and your baby is getting bigger too, by 20 weeks your uterus should be at your bellybutton, so thats compleatly normal.

Uh, five months is really early to feel movement, or at least movement strong enough to feel all the time. And the highest your belly could be at this point is your belly button, so you might be feeling your bowels/gas as they have been pushed up to accomodate for the baby.
