How often do you feel baby moving around?

How often do you feel your LO moving around? I am still trying to figure out if what I feel is movement. I am 18w and for the past week I have been feeling something I think is kicking around. It's usually a popping feeling a few times a day, but for the last 20 minutes it as been pretty constant. Is this normal?

Re: How often do you feel baby moving around?

yep sounds normal to me. it will come and go until about 23 weeks then will be more constant.. at first it was like gas bubble feeling and feels like popping.. then it gets like a wavey fishy feeling. its really cool! it will fluctuate right now so you might not feel it all the time in the beginning so try not to worry!

I'm almost 20 weeks and I'm just starting to feel it more regularly. For me it just feels like flutters or as if the baby is rolling over. I usually feel it right after lunch and sometimes at night when I'm laying down. And it's always below the belly button center or to the left. I always get so excited and try not to move so that it will happen again. It's so cool!

I started feeling LO start moving this week (15). Basically it feels like there's a fishy swimming around. For me, gas bubbles are a popping feeling for me. This, at least for me feels more like a fluid feeling.

This is my 2nd PG and I felt baby around 18-20 weeks a bit and now at 21/22 weeks I feel baby a lot. I think my first PG it took longer to feel baby

Prob is the baby, I started feeling movement around then but didn't know for sure. Then a few weeks later I was certain that was it. Now at 25 weeks, I feel the baby most times I sit still which isn't that often, lol

Re: How often do you feel baby moving around?

I actually asked my obgyn this at my appt today. I've been nervous because I feel like I should be feeling a lot more movement by now at 21w4d. Like others, I have been feeling gas-like sensations and also what feels like popping. Dr said this is fine and totally normal and it usually takes longer with the first. He also said that I should lay on my side and after about an hour, I would feel movement. Unfortunately, there's no way I would last an hour at this point!
