I started feeling mvement at 17 weeks, and at 20 I talked to my doc about it because the kicking is getting really intense! Ultrasound, etc, is all normal, and the doc explained that I'm feeling it so much becuase 1. I'm thin and 2. the placenta is behind the baby, pushing it right up to the front of my belly. She told me not to eat sugar, etc..
Now, it's a week later, and this kid won't stop moving. It doesn't even weigh a whole pound yet, but it just kicks so intensely all day long. My friends and boyfriend are all amazed at how strongly even they can feel it, and from the outside, you can see my belly move when the baby kicks.
I'm sure nothing's wrong, but it's starting to make me really nervous about the next 4 months, when the baby really grows. This is my second pregnancy but sadly I lost the last one at 19 weeks, so this feels like uncharted waters to me. Has anyone else carried such a kicker, and how did the pregnancy progress?
