I would say it's perfectly normal!!

I started feeling our baby boy when lying down at 17 weeks! Compared to alot of first time pregnant women it's pretty early...but I would consider us very lucky!!

There is no better feeling!! I will definitely miss it.

At 18 weeks I couldn't feel anything, so I don't know. I felt kicks for the first time on Saturday at 19+6; I was lying down. I had flutters again today, at 20+1, and I was sitting at my desk.

So I'm not sure, but to me it makes sense that you can feel more when you're lying down. I have a bit of podge on my belly, and when I lie down it's just the bump, so having the podge move aside is naturally going to emphasise all movements.

I only feel the baby moving when I am sitting up. I felt the baby once when I was laying down. So it's pretty normal I'd say
