I'm 20 weeks tomorrow and about 4 days ago i started to feel movements which must be the baby, they are quite slight movements but then yesterday and so far today I haven't felt anything again - is this normal?

yes it is, at this stage, your baby is still small and has lots of room to play in ! so they can kick towards your back, and you won;t feel it...whereas later on, your baby fills the space, so you feel a lot more

you may have felt something and though it was tummy rumblings etc..

you can try drinking a cold drink and lying on your left side, that often produces some kicks

if you are at all concerned, then call your midwife x

I'm 19 weeks with my 4th and have just started to feel movements. I feel them more in the evenings so thinking I've been too busy to notice until now!

I started to feel about 19 weeks and it was only fluttery light movements. I had these for a couple of weeks until one day I was laying in the bath and felt some hefty kicks! This is definitely normal and a good start!

PPSparkle 24 weeks today! X

if you are worried, then get checked out, esp if you have not had anything since you first felt the movements, did you try lying on your side, having a cold drink?

you probably won;t relax until you get confirmation all is well, so why not call your midwife?

I first felt mine at 14 weeks (yes it is possible!) and now at 16 weeks I feel it loads although some days not at all. It's only later on near end that it may concern you if it hasn't moved in a while. Drink iced water, may get it going!
