17-20 weekers - What's your fetal movement like?

[Zeri]

Please share! Just wondering if what I'm feeling is normal or not.. Thx

19 weeks and I don't feel a thing yet..

Normal for me until 20 weeks.

Mine is currently minimal. Some days there's a bunch of little flutters, then some with hardly anything and some with nothing at all! Those days worry me the most, but do make the movements later that much more exciting.

Still nothing real consistent for me. I can feel some movement basically everyday now, but that just started this week. And not true kicks, just a roll or nudge here and there.

Nothing consistent yet. I usually feel her at night more so then anything but not all the time, and occasionally during the day

I'm 18 weeks and I can sometimes feel light pressure below my bellybutton

 

[Maybe1daysoon]

Not a whole lot. I feel her a few times a day when sitting down only. No kicks just moves.

 

[CaptainMummy]

Same as everyone else really! Feel baby every day but very small little nudges and few and far between. Mostly at night when sitting down

Most days, I feel small movements a few times a day. Some days it's more, some less. Generally, it's when I first sit down or lie in bed. A few times, I've also felt major pressure outward where she'll push a decent sized portion of my abdomen out a time or two and hold it there for maybe a minute. I don't remember my son ever doing that, but it feels very odd! She stretched her legs straight out in the ultrasound, so I have a feeling that's what she's doing in there.

With my first pregnancy, I don't think I was picking up on any movement until 19-21 weeks.

The amount of movement varies. I've had a couple of days with lots of movement. Some days just the odd kick here and there. I felt movement for the first time on the outside yesterday and my husband managed to feel it too so that was awesome! totally depends on babies position though really

It varies greatly for me. I was told at my 17 week gender scan that I have an anterior placenta so I'm not expecting to feel much movement for a while yet. But some days I do feel little nudges, especially if I lie on my right side (I usually notice this in bed!) And now and then if I'm lying still I feel pressure suddenly push down in weird places in there. Some days, I feel nothing at all. Others, I am very aware that there is a baby in there, although I haven't felt any proper kicks or anything yet.

Thanks! I guess mine is similar to what most of you describe. It's not really consistent either- I feel it at different times of the day- sometimes after a drink/meal, sometimes not. It feels like movement but not distinct kicks or jabs or anything. I'm just anxious for it to get stronger. Sometimes this pregnancy still feels so surreal!

I'm feeling movement most nights in bed now when everything is quiet and still. Otherwise it's pretty minimal - if I wear trousers with a tight waist band (which is most of them now!) I feel more as it's kind of kicking where they're digging in iykwim.

Some days is alot some days is barely none

 

[kaylamariee]

I'm 20 weeks and I feel A LOT of movement.. This is my second and my first is 11 months old (idk if that makes a difference).. I feel both movements and kicks during the day and at night.. Last ultrasound he was measuring 2 weeks ahead.. I don't know if that has anything to do with it either lol

My baby's movement has definitely gotten a lot stronger over the last few weeks. I can feel kicks, jabs and roll overs. It is the coolest and weirdest feeling, I love it!

 

[Zeri]

It's nice some of you are feeling strong movements. Can't wait to get to that stage!

You know when you've got a stomach bug and it feels like your stomach is twisting and turning? Like that, but without the pain...
