Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to check when everyone felt baby kicks stronger, im 20 weeks and only felt first movement at 19weeks but the feeling is very weak and only every now and then.
When should i be feeling stronger and more frequent kicks ?

Gabi

I'd like to know too. I've had movement since 15 weeks. Now I feel them a bit more regularly now but I'd like to know when they get harder too.

everyone is different (as always!) I first felt baby around week 16. a kind of buzzing, fluttering.Kicks started about week 19. And since last week (23ish) they have on occasions been hard enough to make me jump. this is only occasionally though.
Not entirely sure I enjoy those kicks though so dont worry if they're not happening yet!!

I've been feeling movements (fluttering/buzzing) since about 15wks, but nothing regular or everyday until around 18wks. After quite regular movement, I had a few days of practically nothing around 18.5 and 19.5wks which really freaked me a bit. For the past week now though I don't feel buzzing or fluttering anymore, It's really strong kicks and prods and some of them make me jump. They tend to go on throughout the whole day. Luckily not waking me up at night yet!

i felt the first fluttering at about 16 and about a week later i felt a really strong movements that made me jump. at about 19 weeks i could feel the baby kicks and movement with my hands and also my husband. Now i'm 20 weeks i can feel the baby moves a lot more often ( also have more stretching pain )
I guess everyone's different. I read in the book, it said you shouldn't be worried too much if you don't feel the movement that often ( I was a bit worried )or if it's not that strong, until you are about 24 weeks then you will feel the baby kicks stronger and regularly.

The movements I'm feeling are still usually flutter like, every once in a while I feel a good solid kick, but not often.

i felt popping, bubbling and then quite obvious pushes or kicks. then for the past two weeks there's been almost nothing. definitley no pattern to movements. did someone post a while ago saying that a lull in movement was because the baby was growing at this time?? or did i dream that?

Mine started at a little over 15 weeks. They started as a feeling of muscle twitches, sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other. They are starting to get a bit stronger now and I feel movements every day.
