2nd baby movements

I'm 18 weeks today with baby number two. I can't really remember from last time what's 'normal'.

There was a good strong heartbeat at 16 week check. I occasionally feel flutters but can go a day or more with barely anything. Certainly no kicks.

Please can you let me know how it was for you? I guess I'm looking for a bit of reassurance that everything is going ok!

I had the same worries as you at 18w. I’m now 21w and feel movements regularly, though not quite “all the time”. Some are getting quite strong now! You’re still in that early movement phase, I wouldn’t worry (said with hindsight!)

This is my first baby and I probably started feeling him around 18/19 weeks, just little flutters here and there.
I'm 23 weeks today and his kicks are getting alot stronger now, keep watching my tummy hoping I will see it move lol xx

You’ll see it soon, Unicorn234, it’s bizarre!

@FrazzyAndFrumpled I was in the bath for ages yesterday just willing my tummy to move but it didn't haha.. I guess it won't be long though 😊

Thanks for the reassurance. I needed it. I think I read somewhere that I should be feeling movements earlier this time; one of those week by week pregnancy sites!!

I'm also very impatient!

I'm 18 weeks and feeling the same
..I've felt odd little flutters but like did I really feel that? Then I have nothing, which worries me. I'll be glad to feel proper kicks but although this my 3rd pregnancy, I can't remember anything haha.
