Hi all

Was just wondering how long it took for you to realise that the little fluttery feelings you had were proper kicks and prods. I'm 19 weeks but still just seem to be feeling little flutterings and it's kind of worrying me that I've not really felt any proper movements yet. I can't remember timescales from my last pg.

I don't remember what stage I felt the girls at - but it was quite early with Cameron, and really early flutterings with this one. I am feeling definite 'thuds' now - and have noticed I'm feeling them frequently throughout the day, over the last 3 days in particular. It is most noticeable when I'm sitting or lying down.

I did read in a baby book that with each subsequent pregnancy you feel movement earlier, due to having a 'slightly worn uterus'!!lol I think it just probably differs from person to person though. I do remember that Ruthie rarely 'kicked' at all - it was lots of smooth movements, and limbs slowly appearing out of one side of my bump, then disappearing again - whereas Cameron really 'kicked' me all the time!

Like Vix has said its normal. A friend of mine at work, his g/f was pregnant and could never feel the baby move due to her placenta being at the front. I think it depends on the position the baby is lying to.

I never had any problems as i had 2 so they was always fighting for space
