What's baby's movements like for you?

[Starlight32]

I'm curious how often you ladies feel movement? Sometimes baby seems fairly active (like I'll get a lot of kicks in a few minutes) and other times I'll just feel a nudge here or there while going long stretches without feeling baby.

Are there days where you feel baby much more than others?

Absolutely!

Some days he's rolling non stop and others I barely feel him. He moves more when I lay down, and after I eat. I don't feel "kicks" per se but I feel him moving and rolling. I'd say it's be like a fish inside my belly lol

 

[summermoee]

Yep. But here lately the movements have been a little stronger and happening a little more frequently

With DS I had an anterior placenta, so movements were NEVER regular! I had NSTs all the time for other health issues, but I still worried about it!

It's too early to feel this one, but it's anterior again, so I may never know what "normal" is...

I was told a have a posterior placenta at the anatomy scan. I hope she starts moving around more so I can feel her a bunch. I felt a few kicks this morning at least

Well, I'm farther along so I feel him every time he wakes up. But when I first started feeling him move, it felt like someone was pushing on me from the inside. Very light, but still a push. Now he likes to kick around and wallop my bladder because he just refuses to move up. He's got so much room further up in my womb, but he just likes to sit on the bottom. Oh well, it's worth it

Feel him everyday- have started to notice almost a pattern of when he is awake and when he is asleep.

I feel him roll, kick, and bunch up to one side! Sometimes he is further up by my belly button and sometimes he is at the bottom. Have even felt hiccups! He loves to bounce of my bladder when it's full too lol that's kinda uncomfortable but I love it. Right now feels like he is practising karate in there and it's 2.30am and I can't get to sleep

How long do/did you go without movement around week 20?

Thanks for all your responses. It's interesting to see everyone's experiences.

I started feeling her wiggle inside at around 18 weeks, and now at almost 21, I get a legit punch/kick (albeit light bc she's still tiny now). It's tangible from the outside of my belly, so DH feels her dance party every time I eat dinner

I'm noticing she wiggles more for some foods than others. Seems she's really digging peanut butter/apples, pasta w/tomato sauce, and lentil soup. Not such a fan of salad, which I eat everyday and barely get a nudge from her! LOL! I see veggie wars in my future

From 20 Weeks I felt movement everyday throughout the day esp after I eat or when I am sitting or lying down

I think it depends loads on how baby is laying. Sometimes a feel all nudges/kicks/punches to the front and can see them too. Other times (like today) its like she's sitting with her feet on my bladder/cervix. When she kicks it feels like I'm going to actually wet myself and sometimes it feels like a strain against my abdominal muscles which I think is when she rolls right round with her back to my belly button. It really varies!
