I felt the first kicks from my baby one week ago but nothing since. I'm 18 weeks now. Is this normal?

I wouldn't worry too much. I didn't feel my first kick until abougt 19 weeks IIRC, so perhaps last week's "kicks" weren't actually kicks IYKWIM

my mw said to start counting 10 a day from 24 weeks - friend is 22 wks and yet to feel baby kick because plancenta is at the front and they think its custioning the kicks - I wouldn't worry yet x

Thanks for the advice. I'll stop fretting and check with midwife next week.
