Q: Movement?

I am 20 weeks along now and still just barely can feel the baby move. Every now and then, usually just when i'm laying down or sitting down and hunched forward, I can feel a weird bump/nudge of the baby moving. When will I start being able to distinguish kicks and stuff? When will people be able to put thier hand on my stomach and feel the baby? Pregnancy is a lot different than what I had originally thought it was. Lol.

I would give it 2-4 more weeks (depending on the person) before you feel actual kicks. Believe me, you'll know and they will start to feel stronger and stronger and more constant.

I started to feel him move when I was about 20 weeks, it was just little flutter feelings but it was him. From then it got stronger and more noticeable each week. I dont think anyone ele felt him kick until I was 8 months.

Lol....I can now see my baby's elbows and knees in my belly!!! The first time I actually saw it I had a huge reality check!! Lol...Like ok..There is a human being inside of me!!

I'm 29.5 weeks preggy and i'm long every minute of it....Except for the minor stretch marks!!
I deal with the skin everyday and it's hard to come to terms with the fact that no matter what you do your skin stretch faster than it can keep up!! Lol...They are very light...And barely noticable...But it's my body..And of course I notice!! Lol...They are actually getting better as the days go by...I have a strict skin regimine!!! Lol

good luck yall!!

Re
Lol ya'll are funny.
I guess pregnancy is just a lot more different than how I had imagined it in my head before I got pregnant. Actually I hardly ever thought of pregnancy or what its about. Lol. I was thinking i'd be as big as a house by now, but i'm just now starting to show. I was thinkign i'd be seeing and feeling kicks but i'm just now feeling nudges. I guess I just cant wait to start looking and 'being' more pregnant.. Lol. I cant wait to feel strong kicks and see the little elbows and feet pushing out lol I bet thats gonna feel cah-razy. Sometiems thinking of my baby girl getting here exscites me and sometimes scares the shxt out of me lol
