Baby favors on side over the other?

I'm 33weeks now and since I was about 20weeks I have noticed that my babe really only sticks to one side of my stomach. The right side. I might feel a kick on the left ever So often, but I definitely have more movement on the right. Anyone else like this?

This baby as well as my other two always stayed on my right side with their butts and feet dug into my side. I'm not sure why they all favor that side but all three have

Same here, she stays to the right, sometimes her bum kinda pokes out on my right side too! I sleep on my left and my back mostly.

Same here. I'm 35 weeks. Even when I look down at my belly it's bigger on the right side, guess that's where she's comfy... she's been there for weeks.

Same here! In fact my stomach at times even bulges out a little more on the right side. At one point, I believe I was about 20 weeks, and I started getting really bad pains almost like period cramps but aching as well. I thought it might be braxton hicks so I told my doctor. An ultrasound showed my kidney was swollen so huge, even my doctor said he's never seen one that bad! Which scared me! He said my baby favors the right side of my stomach so much she was actually pushing against everything on that side. So he recommended I lay on my left side & try pushing her over to the left with my hands. It worked! Lol The pain went away within a day & never returned! Although she's still always to the right. And like you, I feel her kick more over there. Always getting jabbed on the right side of my ribs! Lol I wonder why babies favor the right side of bellies more?? Kind of funny. I'm curious to see who else responds to your post! :)
