Hi ladies, What is the "normal" amount & frequency you are feeling at my stage and further on. I cannot remember much from my pregnancy with Ethan except the big kicks and rolling movements in my tummy. ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

Ummm at 18 weeks I wasnt feeling "a lot" of movement...at that stage we had seen him move form the outside and DF felt him move(due to my posterior placenta) I was sort of feeling little tapping and twitching movements every now and then, mostly while lying down.
Then not long after 18 weeks I started feeling quite strong punches and kicks, so by about 22 weeks my entire tummy would bounce up and down  lol, now he hurts me!! I feel like he is trying to box his way out!------------- |

From memory some movement is good at your stage - and not to worry about counting movements etc until around 24 weeks onwards. Check with your mw if you are worried though.  -------------

18 weeks was fairly gentle kicks - DH started feeling the movements at about 20 weeks; tummy started visibly jumping at about 25 weeks; now we can ID body parts (29 weeks). I'd have days where I felt quite a bit of movement but would have as many where I hardly felt any. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

| I felt absolutely nothing at 18 weeks - in fact it wasnt until around week 22 that I felt him move for the first time. Now he just rolls around and kicks a little cuz theres not much room anymore |

Are you feeling movements now? I am a few days ahead of you and have been feeling some movements for 2 weeks. Yesterday I started feeling kicks too! 
With my first I didn't really feel anything until after my 20 week scan. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yea I have been feeling something for a while but sometimes it just butterflies and sometimes its kciks but it is not consistant at all and isn't particularly everyday (i don't think) I may be wrong and sometime just don''t feel it. ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |
