Im 20 weeks with my 3rd at the mo and am not feeling a lot of movements, what I feel is more like bubbles popping. Im having trouble remembering what I felt with my first 2 at this stage. Dose this sound normal?

I am 23 weeks (I have two kids already) and I was worried at 20 weeks when I wasn't feeling much. Part of it is that we do forget. Also, the busier you are and the more running after other kids you're doing, the less honed in you are on the movement. Give it two weeks. Last week, my quiet little fluttering sensations have since become kicks and bounces. So at 22 weeks it all really errr, 'kicked' in. Baby's position makes a difference too. If you haven't had your 20 week scan, this will help ease your mind when it happens. I couldn't believe what a twirler I had in there. Looking at this little guy bouncing and bopping around was thrilling! I just couldn't feel what I was seeing on screen. But very quickly that all changed. And I am sure it will for you as well. Try not to worry, easier said that done, I know. But remember, you can always make a phone call to the midwives if your mind isn't at ease. That's what they're there for. Good luck!

I've had an anterior placenta each time so haven't felt movements until around 22 weeks each time. Even then, I had a scan at 36 weeks and DD2 was squirming around wildly and I just didn't feel anything!

Yup, I didn't feel kicks until 20w and then it was only a few popping feelings, usually in the evening and normal to only feel 2 or3 pops a day now 24 w and feeling a lot more

Sounds normal!

I'm 20 weeks too and feeling very little. It just feels like gas to me, like i need a good fart. mainly either at night or in the morning, nothing during the day at all. Im not really worried yet- due my anomaly scan next week so it'll be good to see a living baby though!
