Movement at 18 weeks?

So I am 18 weeks with my second baby and I started feeling small flutters around 15-16 weeks and it seemed to be pretty often, now and 16-17-18 weeks it doesn't seem as often. My daughter is 4 so it's been a long time for me to remember when I actually felt more movement, when did you start feeling more frequent movements and actual kicks? I know the baby is still very small but I'd think as the last 3 weeks went by I'd be feeling more than a small flutter here and there.

Felt the first few kicks at around 17-18 weeks. Started feeling really hard kicks at around 20-21. Now...He varies. Some days he's active, others not as much.

Her movements would be consistent for a week, then almost non existent for a week, etc. Normal steady movement for me started around 25-26 weeks I wanna say. Now it's alllllll the time.

20-25 weeks it became pretty frequent.

22-23 weeks with this pregnancy but with my DD she would kick like once a day. There were days I didn't feel her at all

I started feeling fluters around 15 weeks like you. and I'm now 18 weeks and they're stronger, but not as strong as I thought they would be by now. Definately haven't felt it on the outside yet.

Early on when I first started feeling them it was small flutter now when I do feel it, it feel like a rolling feeling or a light thump. I am up walking around all day at work so if the baby was moving I might not notice it. That's how this baby seems to be some days I feel the baby a lot and other days I get worried cause I haven't. I can't wait till I can feel it more often!

Holy moly!!! Your 30 weeks already?! Where did time go... lol! Has this pregnancy went by fast to you compared to your first?

That's how this little one is and it worries me when I can't feel anything for a day or two and then once I start worrying I feel it all day for a day. I want those all day movements! lol. I get so excited when I feel a small thump and wish I could poke my belly to get baby to move more! lol

Oh I hope it is around that time for me, only a few more weeks of waiting!

That's how I feel, I was expecting for the movements to be stronger by 18 weeks but they feel like small thumps every now and then. It's weird I don't know how low the baby is sitting but sometimes it seriously feels like it's right on my pubic bone which seems lowww lol. I haven't felt anything on the outside either. When I am laying in bed and feel a few small thumps I put my hand there hoping to feel something but nope!

Hehe, 'twas me 5-7 weeks ago!

YEAH, 30 weeks, 31 on Friday. Craaaaaaaaaaazay! It truly has flown by, especially compared to Landon's pregnancy. In a way I want it to go faster because I am so anxious to meet her but then again I won't be having another little one for another 3 years or so, so I really should just sit back, enjoy my time with Landon right now as an only child, and enjoy pregnancy!

Anyways, yeah I understand completely worrying!! It's hard not to. I'd constantly shake my belly, poke my belly, etc. To try & get SOME type of movement outta her!

I need to get my 18 week belly picture from Facebook and add it! I forgot about it. lol.

This one seems to be going by fast for me as well, I remember finding out the gender of my daughter at 18 weeks and it seemed like an eternity to get to 18 weeks! We find out on the 16th with the one, I am so anxious!!! I can't wait to shop, every time I go into a store I walk in the baby isle and wish I could buy stuff but I figured I'd wait.

I feel the same way I want it to hurry and fly by but I love being pregnant so I wish it would slow down a bit! I am so glad I am pregnant during fall and winter time this time around. My daughter was a summer baby and it sucked!

Hopefully soon I feel those movements I've been waiting for!!

hehe I hear ya there as well!!!!! LOVE baby shopping!!!

Yup, Landon was a summer baby as well   August 16th. So it's been much different carrying throughout a different season.

I've felt a couple under my belly button but the majority seems to be really low, I had a c section with my daughter and it feels like it's right under my scar. I guess since the baby has tons of room in there they are doing cart wheels in there!
