when should i feel kicks?
posted 30th Nov
I am 18 weeks and I have been feeling baby move for weeks now ( i think because this is my 4th baby)
I dont feel anything extremely strong, I mostly just feel where baby is at at times and sometimes when he or she moves to different side of my stomach. No kicks as of yet.
Wondering if I should have felt them by now?
When did you feel your baby kick, or kick from the outside of your stomach , like when someone could touch your tummy and feel baby move?

Could be as late as 25 weeks, especially if it's your first.
Movement is movement...any movements counts, regardless of if it's wiggles or strong kicks. So whatever you're feeling at this point is good! Some women don't feel anything until 20 weeks or later.

This is my first and i've been feeling kicks since week 18, but as of wednesday (week 20) I'm feeling them ALOT!

They say anywhere from 18-22 weeks.
Sometimes later if it's your first, because you don't always know to "feel for".
I saw my daughter push her bottom out at 16 and 17 weeks and it would move across my belly, and I couldn't feel it, but I could see. It looked like I had a little tumor moving. It was so crazy. She pushed her bottom out and wiggled it around until the day I gave birth. She STILL pushes her little butt out now when she sleeps.
I felt the first definitive movements around 20 weeks.

This pregnacy I felt them at 16weeks. They were not that strong and now at 18weeks they are very strong my husband could feel them at 16 weeks. Now LO kicks the crap out of my belly. Don't worry it will happen soin I'm sure. Try haven someone touch pressing down gently on your belly and see if they can feel the baby. You can lay ur hand on my belly and feel it the skin pokes out when LO kicks.

She's saying she already feels movement, she just wants to know when she will feel good, hard kicks.
