When should the baby kick?
Im 20weeks & Im not sure if ive felt the baby move.I think I might have I described to my mum tht it was like a flutteringm, she sed its the baby moving.
But when should I feel it kick?.
Also this is my 1st pregnancy & my bump is still small.
Answers:
if u wanna feel him kick take a piece of ice and put it your stomach and move it around till it kicks some girls wont get a big pump and others will
With my first, I was around 22 weeks before the flutters became harder kicks.
It may still take 2-3 weeks before you start feeling some harder bumps from baby. Its so much fun watching baby move! Congrats!
hon, you just can't put a time limit on it , as long as you are getting ,and keeping all the doctor appointments it will kick when it kick,enjoy your pregnancy,talk and sing to your baby soon you will be asking when do the baby sleep cause its kicking all night long
You are experiencing what is called 'quickening'..and in a few more weeks it will feel as if you have the rockemsockem robots battling it out in there..(especially when YOU want to sleep )..
<grin>
Soo .Congratulations!
And Blessed Be~
The fluttering is probably the baby moving. Maybe your baby is kind and not going to kick you during the pregnancy? lol. Moving isn't always the same as kicking. If you are keeping up on your prenatal visits and the doctor hasn't said that anything is wrong, I'm sure you will feel it more in due time.
You are probably right in feeling your bubs kicking, He or she is just getting comfortable in bed like we all do. So don't worry, it'll stretch its little limbs and exercise as nature intended.And dont forget, your bubs will have to eat and drink everthing that you do! and that includes smoking and drinking! so cut out alcohol and cigarettes, and if your into drugs (God Forbid) them too! Have a good preggie!
when it has legs..
I had fluttering around 20 weeks then not "proper" kicking til around 23 weeks. When you get bigger it's bizarre to actually see a foot or a hand as an outline on your belly - weird and brilliant! Congratulations - good luck
In a few weeks, you will probably feel like your ribs are bruised and it will only get harder until the baby drops in the last month so sleep while you can.
Hi

also, i have no bump yet!

im waiting for mine too im 14 weeks
There is no correct time for baby to start kicking. Some babies are extremely active all the time whereas others are quite still most of the time. My son did not move much at all until the last 4 weeks when he seemed to be trying to fight his way out.
If you are at all worried then speak to your doctor, health visitor or midwife.
im 24 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child and ive been feeling it kick since 16 weeks but with my first i didnt know what to feel for or what it felt like but nearer the end i had worked out a foot from a hand so every pregnancy is different i wouldnt worry to much about it,its probably moving all the time and you just dont realise it.my baby is moving about more during the night when im in bed than any other time but its a good feeling just lying in bed feeling the movements.

It,s round about the 20 week mark and you,ll feel fluttering or like bubbles popping in your belly.It,s a great feeling just wait till he/she gets bigger though and they kick you in the ribs OUCH.Good luck anyway
hi didn't worry about the size of your bump, especially as it's your first. In a few weeks you will be amazed that your body get so big and just how quickly it happens. My 1st baby i didn't show for ages up until nearly 7 months i could still get in my size 10 jeans and it felt as though i went to bed and woke up massive and it was goodbye to my fave jeans for a few months!
My tip is: if you want to feel your baby move or you are anxious that you haven't felt your baby move, my midwife once told me to have a mars bar or something sweet with a cup of sweet tea and then about 20 minutes later take a warm bath and it worked every time. (don't if you are diabetic obviously no sugar etc) As baby gets bigger and you get further into your pregnancy you will defiantly be aware of those huge kicks your little baby gives you. But don't worry, 20 weeks is the average for first time mums as your stomach muscles and your womb are still strong so it can take longer to feel with your first baby. Enjoy the rest of this pregnancy, it's a special time.
