For 2nd timers and women later than 25 weeks -When do the kicks get harder?

kc1980 · Mar 10th, 2010, 16:28 PM

I am almost 25 weeks and i am wondering when the kicks get harder and you can tell which of bub's body parts are which? Mine still feel like bumps and wonder of it is normal.
Thanks!

im not 25 weeks but from what i can remember in my first pregnancy i think its between 25-28 weeks maybe a little later x

yesterday I noticed that my kicks are getting higher (rather than harder) ... and I can now see the kicks as well as feel them... it's hours of fun just watching your belly for movements! A girl at work saw a kick from 2ft away... it was really weird!

Sorry, don't think I've helped much

My kicks have been getting harder over the past few days. I can't tell which parts are which, and I can't tell what the baby is doing, rolling etc, and I can't see or feel from outside, but I think that's just because I have an anterior placenta.

even at 20 weeks the last few days i can feel it on the outside with my hand sometimes only if its high xx

I've never been able to tell what part is what but at 26 weeks, my entire belly is moving and rolling around and I get punches and kicks very hard. This is my 3rd baby. I would say they started getting strong around 20 weeks.

i think second and 3rd pregnancys and so on you tend to feel baby earlier i did this time at 16 weeks and now at 20 weeks getting stronger everyday but with my first pregnancy didnt even feel a thing till 19-20 weeks and didnt get strong till 25 weeks

its nothing to worry about xxx

It really depends on each woman, and each pregnancy for that matter. My daughter never kicked me that hard, and I didn't feel her until 20 weeks. My son I felt my first swift kick at 16 weeks, and he was constantly going and would wake me up at night (I didn't mind). This one I think is going to be more like my first as I can already feel the baby kick, but who knows!!!

I am getting lots of kicks and punches all over lately... some of them pretty hard already. Last night, I told my fiance I thought I felt fingers.

I'm not 25 weeks yet either but I have had hard kicks for the last week or so. Sometimes they even hurt a bit! Everyone can feel & see them from the outside and me and OH have hours of fun staring at my belly waiting for a little lump to pop out when he kicks!

I also get hard bits occasionally which are obviously either a bum or a head pressing hard against the front of my stomach. Very cool!
