Congratulations, its very normal not to feel them too often in the beginning. When I was pregnant with leilani I first felt a flutter at 17 weeks and didn't feel her actually kick until 20 and then I regularly felt her at 21 weeks. With this pregnancy I felt him so much sooner. Don't worry your baby is going to be fine. When are you due?

30 Weeks
I'm about 30 weeks pregnant and the baby moves lots its neat cuz I can watch it move.. I can also feel it pushing on my rips which is kind of annoying but it doesn't hurt just pressure.. 10 more long weeks to go.. Scared and starting to get excited at the same time:p me and my b/f both really hope its a little girl but I really think it will be a boy.. I've asked it what it was a couple times.. Well I said if your a boy kick now.. If your a girl kick now.. Always kicked on girl.. Well 3 times girl and boy 0.. I know thats not an accurate way of figuring it out though.. I think I have decided to wait and find out after birth.. Also lately my b/f has been telling me how much he wants to spend the rest of his life with me and how he wants to get married.. He watched some show 'for better or for worse' has anyone seen it? Anyways after watching that he came to my house and told me he wanted to marry me.. He hasn't asked yet.. I suggested that he wait till after the babys born to ask if he still wants to.. Hes such a sweety though I love him sooo much:) sorry for rambling on just felt like typing alot:p bye everyone

When I was pregnant with my daughter I was her jumping bag. I mean feet in my ribs and everything. I lost sleep because she would move so much. Just wait till you get more far along,at times it will start to hurt.

Usually in the beginning, the baby is just starting to move around his arms and legs and experimenting, once he or she :d realizes that they can move faster and work things by themselves it will increase in speed and amount. Eventually you will be attempting to move them from your rib cage, and you will be rubbing your baby to help "calm" them. I think that feeling your babies first kick is the best. I dont think that sean ever flipped with me knowing but he must have done something. I am so happy for you, congratulations!! :d we are all here for you if you need us!

Loads of love, laughter, and joy!!

Hey
Hey hey


I am 32 weeks pregnant and I felt my baby kick for the first time when I was 14 weeks. I was lying in bed on my side and all of a sudden on my right side it felt like I had a heartbeat but it only beat 3 times... Now I feel him just move alot more probabley cuz it is getting cramped in there lol just wait hun till he starts beatuing u up and gets really picky about the way u sit or lie down or when he stretches and u get a foot in the hips and a arm in the ribs lol its soo much fun I love feeling my baby move let us know when the movements get stronger the best way I can describe kicking and that is like a sudeen strong pulse in ur tummy but after awhile it turns into a jab lol
