Answer 1

There are many variables to your questions. First things that effect how early you feel each of the things in your question vary by things like your weight, how you are carring the baby, how many pregnancies you have had, how many babies you are pregnant with (meaning twins, etc.), the size of your baby (due to lack of space...usually seen in diabetic Mom's), if you smoke (kicks felt later and smaller birth weight) and more. As a general rule first pregnancies feel movement later than subsuquent later ones. Plus size women tend to feel them later, hence their partner feels them later.

The thing to remember is that the baby is moving from day one of conception...they also kick from day one...it is just usually so light (and little) that we don't feel it. And since a first time Mom is new, they might have felt it and not know! My first "movement" of my first child (I have five birth children) felt like a little butterfly landed on my tummy...and that was around 18 weeks. But, some women will feel it later than that, some earlier. Of course at that stage my husband could not feel her. But, just as I learned to tell movement earlier so did my husband.

As for when do you notice them getting stronger...every day. There is no day you say "gee that is harder." You simply notice more and more movement, and then more and more "kicks" until you are ready for that little blessing to come out so you aren't being kicked anymore!

Congratulations on your new blessing!

I started feeling fluttering about 3 months or so. It felt like gas. I felt her moving and kicking harder and more often between 4 and 5 months. My partner could also feel her moving at this time too. At around 6-7 months sometimes she would kick so hard I could see little shapes poking my belly out (does that make sense?) When she turned so her head was pointing down she would kick me in the ribs sometimes which really hurt. She got more active at night and would actually keep my husband awake if he had his arm around me. And one time I was eating a bowl of ravioli and had it resting on my belly. She must have not liked the heat because she started kicking it so hard the bowl was rocking back and forth and almost fell off.

nicely i felt my toddler transferring at about 4 months. i comprehend by 26 weeks you should have a minimum of 15 moves an afternoon. Any a lot less and think ofyou've got to call the record. What i 1st felt became like flutters kinda like a butterfly in my abdomen, I also felt the bubbles kinda like gasoline transferring by your intestines yet diverse. wish this helps and dont problem you'll sense it quickly!

Answer 4

You can start feeling baby move anywhere from 16-25 weeks. I didnt feel any movement from mine when I was 22 weeks and she really got strong about 26 weeks. Be patient. Don't freak out like me. As soon as I hit 16 weeks I freaked out when I couldnt feel her move!! Good luck. My mate couldnt feel her move till I was about 26 weeks!!
