Bump size and baby movements at 19-20 weeks?

[pinkmagic1]

I am currently 19 and a half weeks pregnant with my 2nd child.
Although I have been feeling movement for some time now, it is extremely irregular and faint. I am sure, if I remember right I was feeling much more at this stage last time round. Also everyone keeps comenting on how much bigger they where at this stage than me. I am starting to worry, can anyone put my mind at rest? Next scan isn't for 2 weeks.

i started feeling movement at about 17 weeks but it was very faint and tickly for quite a few weeks as i recall. calm before the storm! dd was just warming up...

I felt a big movement on Saturday, like the baby turned right over and gave a big kick. But since then i've hardly felt a thing (practically nothing) so i reckon he/she is laying facing my back or summat.

Oh and I'm 17+3 now.

Hi, I'm 22 weeks and it's only been the last week and a half when the movements have been unmistakable - before it was a case of "might it have been? Oh, maybe not".

Bear in mind it can also have to do with where your placenta is - mine is anterior - i.e. at the front - which acts as as a giant cushion, so you don't feel as much.

Don't worry! My friend didn't feel a thing until 24 weeks and her baby was MASSIVE...

Hi im a new to the site i am 18 weeks 5 days i have been feeling what i think is the baby moving shifting and kicking when sat down with slightly too tight jeans on, and have recently started feeling it kick on occasions when i have my hands on belly laid on back when going to sleep im pretty sure it was kicks they were tiny but its was 3 times in a row and i`m sure i felt them again last night it was cool. This is my 2nd child and this pregnancy is so different to my first 7 years ago. I am due my Anomaly scan in next week or 2 cant wait i have also ordered myslef a Doppler off ebay so i can listen to my baby. Congratulations and Good Luck to all other expectant mums XXXXXX

I'm at 20 weeks tomorrow with baby 2 and had a c-section, I didn't think I'd be feeling anything anytime soon as baby 1 I felt him flutter at 16 weeks, kick a little inside at 20 and could feel him outside at around 23 weeks. This one? It's like I swallowed a bag of fighting cats! I felt flutters around 14-15 weeks and a good hard thud aroung 17, 18 and a half and I was sitting on the sofa with my doppler and baby kicked it... or headbutted it. It moved, so I put my hand down and could feel it kick again. It was about twice a daay or so I could catch it, now it does it often enough that most of the family has felt some bumps against their hands. It's crazy to me, but normal enough. Every pregnancy truely is different :)

I'm not sure about this but maybe it's the way the baby is lying? I felt movement for 15 weeks or so but stopped feeling anything for a few days, called midwife and she said it was probably coz baby had moved and was facing my back so I wouldn't feel kicks, maybe your baby likes facing in a way which means you can't feel kicks. Also doesn't it depend where placenta is? Maybe that could be in the way. I wouldn't worry tho hun

What does it feel like? I am 18+5 and was wondering when I'd start to feel something. Then just as I was reading this, I felt something like a muscle twitch deep inside my uterus...a lot like when your leg suddenly twitches up?

I've only just started to feel movements with my dc2 and I'm 20 weeks. Think it started maybe a week or so ago. Before then I would think I'd felt something, but it would be swiftly followed by a fart .

With dc1 I actually can't remember when I felt her first movements.

last night I was laying in bed and felt a little ill, I felt a solid lump just above my belly button and rubbed it and poor baby swam away, nearly woke up the hubby giggling, still 20 weeks, I just can't get over how much this baby is moving. My friends are betting on a girl, but to be honest they said the same about my son as he was grabbing on to the ribs like a monkey until the end :) Good luck ladies!

I have felt flutters since around 17 weeks but then have days were there is nothing I also have lower back pain regularly. I am really struggling with pregnancy due to a miscarriage 2 months before conception with this pregnancy but I have a brilliant midwife who I see every week and she listens in for baby’s heart beat. I still don’t have very much of a bump and this is my 3rd pregnancy but as my midwife explains every week each pregnancy is different and after 24 weeks log the pattern of baby’s movements and not how much movement is there.
