flutters to proper kicks???

30thMarch2010 · Oct 28th, 2009, 11:50 AM

I have in the last week been feeling flutters/popping/twitches whatever you wanna call them, bt they are not strong enough for my OH to feel which is disappointing, he keeps putting his hand where i am feeling them but cant feel a thing.

How long do you think it will be before they are proper kicks, ones that OH can feel from outside???

I am 19 weeks and 1 day today.

Also do you always feel the movement at the same area and same side, everytime i have felt it is has been the left hand side in the same area near my belly button, is that where i should be feeling it? Should it be moving areas or the same place?

Sorry for all the questions!!!!

I first felt kicks at 16 weeks (didn't really go through the flutter stage) but my hubby couldn't feel them on the outside 'till 19 weeks --but I'm sure it varies!

They get stronger and bigger fast, so before you know it he'll be able to feel them.

With regards to the area question- that can either be because of the placement of your placenta or just the baby's preference in terms of how they lie.

My baby, for example, seems to prefer lying across my belly facing downwards so I feel the kicks most often very low down (had to go back twice for my ultrasound as baby would not flip over lol, you could see her/him kicking and waving with their hands and feet down towards my pubic bone on the US)...over the last few weeks though I've also started getting lots up high and to both sides- just depends where he/she is lying. Mine seems to like my bladder lol.

Hope this helps
