With my daughter I was about 3 1/2 to 4 months then she kicked so hard my dr was worried that i'd have broken ribs!!! She was a delightful & easy baby except for the reflux & desire to be on the move at all times!!

My son on the other hand, I lost his twin at about 7 weeks & I realllynever felt him move, he was very lazy (i also didn't have any contractions & my water never broke his head just crowned!! & I had to do all the work, he sure wasn't doing any) but I doubt he's stopped moving for a second in almost 9 years since.

So, my point is that all pregnancies & kids are different, if your dr can hear a heartbeat & all tests are normal, don't worry if your pregnancy doesn't follow the usual pattern or if your baby doesn't do this or that when people say it should. As one pedeatrician told a friend of mine who was concerned that her son wasn't doing this & this at a certain age "ahh, but has he read the books that tell him all this??"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Around 4 months you should start feeling the baby move. It will feel kind of like gas, but its probably the baby, it also depends on your size, if you are a larger woman, you might not feel the baby until around 6 months. It all depends.. I know, that is the most exciting part of being pregnant, is being able to feel the little one kick. Oh..I want another one. :p

When I was pregnant with my daughter I felt her move early on and she was so active in there. She would move so much other poeple could actually look at my tummy and see her. She made these large lumps in my tummy and they looked like she was trying to come out through my skin. She would constantly kick me in my rib cage and would always be up close to them.
Now with this baby, I felt it move around 14 weeks. It has always been near my pelvic area and doesn't move as much as my daughter did. This baby feels like it's lying across the bottom of my stomache. I can always feel it move around my blatter. Which is totally different from my first pregnancy. So dont feel like you are weird if you dont feel anything right away or if you do feel something early on.

With my daughter I was about 4 mos or so when I felt her kick for the first time, I believe they start moving before that but you cant feel it until around 16 weeks. I felt her first move on the 4th of july independence day!!

Kicks
Hi, the kicks will get much stronger over the weeks and then they get so strong that it gets uncomfortable once in a while.
I used to get kicked "down there" if you know what I mean.(i swore that she wanted out right then.)that kinda takes your breath away. But dont' be worried it's not too bad and it doesn't last long.
I just figured that it means a very healthy baby.And my first baby was huge... Take care and good luck
