When do flutters turn to kicks?

[smilies28]

So I've been feeling movement very early on and they have been getting stronger as the weeks gone by.

Yesterday my OH felt our lil princess move but only for a few kicks.

I want to know when does it become more stronger and regular?? You can see the pulses outside but each time I try to record it she stops I don't want to miss out on these lovely moments and feel like I'm never going to be able to capture this!!!

Can someone tell me when we get regular patterns aswell as a hospital midwife said more along 28 weeks they take this into consideration?!

I'm nearly 26 weeks and have been feeling movements since quite early, around 16-17 weeks. I thought by now the kicks would be much stronger but the movement has kind of become more squirming and wriggling about than kicks, or the odd sudden jerk. I don't know if strong and more often kicks will happen later still, or if my baby is just not much of a kicker! I've managed to video the movements on a morning, baby must've had hiccups or something and you could see the bump jumping for a while.

I'm still lucky just to feel a couple of movements a day and never from the outside... I look forward to seeing baby move and feeling more kicks! I wonder if baby's position reduces movements x

I started feeling flutters at 16 ish weeks which turned into muscle type twitches at 18 weeks. I got my first proper kicks around 20 ish weeks but they were only a few times a day. now at 28 weeks shes moves my whole stomach lol! As soon as you notice a pattern with your LOs movements you should be monitoring for changes.

It's now becoming a daily thing she moved more and someone can see it but minute I get my camera out she stops haha obviously trying to tease me! It's such an exciting thing when do they start kicking your rubs etc more?

With my son it was around 28+ weeks where my whole belly would move and movement was more consistant and longer I can't wait, my 4 year old really wants to feel the baby move lol

I started to feel more regular kicks at about 20 weeks but the are all down really low near my pelvis!I have had a moment of movement near my belly button but that doesn't happen that often!

I've been feeling flutters since 13 weeks, but still no proper kicks yet at almost 18.. But baby is soo active.. I just wish my husband could feel it too.

I am naturally very slim so Dr said I would likely start feeling flutters at 20 weeks. Well by 18 I was feeling actual kicks and was able to see it even from the outside. This is my first baby.
Now at 25 weeks I feel solid kicks and my whole belly moves noticeably on the outside. You can even see it through my shirt lol.
I think it depends on the mum.
