Felt first kick yesterday!! Question?

[kazine]

Okay I'm 17+3 and yesterday I felt what I imagine was baby stretching inside of me and her leg poking my insides! It was surreal!

I haven't felt it since (she's fine so I'm not worried as I can hear her moving on doppler!) I'm just wondering at this stage if I've felt it once when am I likely to feel it again? And how often at this stage?

Hello, didn't want to read and run. I felt my first kick & movement at around 17weeks like you, for a few days, then nothing for about 2 weeks! I even went into hospital to see midwife as I was that worried. She assured me it's normal to not feel it as much as it's still small enough to hide in there! I've since bought a Doppler, for reassurance. I'm now 21weeks & am feeling alot more movements. It does vary.

Congratulations on your baby Xx

At this stage you shouldn't be concerned if not for a while, with Jace the first few movements were a week apart. It's just that she was in a certain position you could feel against the edge of uterus, prob stretched out as they're still so little. Expecting REGULAR movements as in daily shouldn't be til around 24 wks.

With this baby I felt at 15+1 and then again yesterday at 16+4, nothing in between.

I sometimes feel my baby moving at night when I lay down. It feels like bubbles. lol It doesn't last very long.

That's lovely
For me it's quite sporadic when you first get the kicks-you may get a day if a few, then a day of none.
But now at 22 weeks the kicks are regular.

So I would say you'll have a good month of it being on/off then it'll get more frequent

Yeah very sporadic for the first month, and very exciting

I've only just started getting really regular movements in the past 2 weeks id say. I started getting kicks at 19 weeks but some days didn't have any at all x

First baby could be weekly, then changes to daily then few more times a day just increases as day go by after that.

With my first i could feel flutters and odd feelings at 22w then by 24w i could feel big kicks could feel her foot over my hand.

I feel this bub about 3-5 times a day for last 3 days. Week or so prior it was 1 to 2 times every few days.

Agree with others...I had felt fluttering from about 16 weeks but started to get odd kicks at 18 weeks. Now I'm 21 weeks and I feel baby every day and really strongly but he/she hasn't really got a routine yet and obviously they do sleep for quite a lot of the time!

I felt my first kick at 16+4 and then again like 4 or 5 days later, then every 3-4 days until about 19 weeks, at which point it was maybe once a day or every other day, now it is all day every day and I can even see it from the outside now, and DH feels it if my stomach is against him laying in bed.
