20 week update + pics!

[17pregnant]

So I am officially half way 20 weeks and couldn't be happier! Also my 18th birthday in 5 days Second trimester has been a breeze for me, and the last week or so I have been getting kicks and now they are getting so strong, and can be felt and seen on my tummy! Is it normal to be this strong at 20 weeks? I have no idea! But fine with me My little man loves kicking at my hand OH is completely and utterly in love and just can't wait for his son to get here. Everyday he's just like 'I want my boy now please!' Is too cute! Here are some pics that I didn't post from the gender scan. His feet look so developed now! Also do you girls know if I will be able to get any more scans? I've heard they do when they're worried about growth, but my boy is over a week bigger than he should be so there's no problems with growth there! I just so want another one That's my update, how is everyone else going?

Awwww congrats yes totally normal! I have a friend that is currently 23 weeks and she started getting strong kicks around then too also generally they don't unless they're worried about something, but you can pay for 4D scans over here so I dare say you can too

Yes it's normal
I first felt kicks at 17w + 5d then by 19 they were much more frequent and strong

You may not get another scan, I had 4 (one emergency and one in labour) and should have had 3 growth scans but they could feel him and that he wasn't huge so I didn't get one! Your pictures are great too

Lovely! So happy for you I had like a million scans because i was a high risk, so I'm really no help there
But you can get a 3D scan. I mean it costs but its very lovely!

Thank you all! I know they do such great quality pics where I go, and lovely technicians too I have a midwife appointment today so I will ask her. I can get a 4D scan, they are $100 NZD which sounds cheap to what some of you girls have said it costs you! My OH wants to get one, so i'm guessing we will when our little man is further along
