kicks??

[Dee83]

I started feeling little flutters/vibrations a few weeks ago but haven't been feeling them so much recently. I've got a doppler so had a listen a couple of days ago and heard the hb no problem so i'm not overly worried but i can't help but feel a bit paranoid as i lost a baby 6months ago. I have read in a pregnancy magazine that you should start to feel kicks around 18weeks but so far i haven't - i know that they can't be exact with when you're going to feel them though. I'm just wondering if you have started to feel kicks yet and if so when did they start?

Thanks,

Dee. xxx

Hey hunnie, Happy 18 weeks!
Every woman is different. I've read several online updates that around about now I might be feeling kicks, but I haven't read that I should definitely be feeling kicks anywhere. Kicks are usually much later on.

I started to feel kicks just before 17 weeks, they were really faint at first and each day now they're getting stronger. It all depends on your womb, some women don't even feel their baby at all, hence the women who don't even know they're pregnant. I'm sure you'll feel baby kicking soon though. Mine started off with lots of flutters xxx

I felt my first proper kick last week, i have felt flutters and slight movements for about 5/6 weeks i think but definate kick was just last week and could be felt by others on the outside... since thenm she is bobbing around everyday and they are getting stronger and higher.

It wont be long before you are feeling the same xx

Hi sweets, I'm sorry about your previous loss. Happy 18 weeks too. I felt movement and kicks around 16 weeks but they became a lot more prominent around 19/20 weeks. However, I had a week or so around 18 weeks of quietness, I felt the odd movement but I found myself with expectations of feeling movement which turned out to be very little and unexpected. Your baby is growing considerably atm and they do tend to go quiet during grow spurts. Still at almost 23 weeks I get quiet days. If the HB is strong, all is well. All the best, x

hey happy 18 weeks i have been feeling definate movements for about 2weeks but nothing that can be felt from the outside, everytime the BF tries to feel he says it just feels like the pulse and cant tell the difference between them. i notice them but only when im sitting or lying, i notice nothing when im walking anywhere though and some days im lucky if ive noticably felt a couple of movements and then the next they dont stop, guess it depends on what your doing and where the baby is lying
