Hello

I felt mine move for the first time on Monday, since then have been feeling it lots. I notice it more when I'm hunched over my lap, and it fees like a nervouse twitchy eye but in my belly. my other half can't wait to be able to feel something too. How long do you think it will be before he can feel movements? I'm 18 weeks today, and this is my first baby.

Many thanks

Rachel

When I first felt the baby move I was 14 wks & 5 days & it felt like bubbles popping & it kind of tickled.
Now i'm 23 wks & 3 days & baby beans kicks are very strong they hurt LoL

the other day my fiance had his head to my belly and the baby kicked him in the head! it was that strong it made me jump LoL felt like baby bean head butted me lol DF was over the moon!!!

Yeah mine is kicking like mad now. I am 24 weeks and 4 days now.

WOW[8D]

When do you think my partner will be able to feel it???

Rachel It won't be long before he can feel it, maybe a couple more weeks.

Thanks Lorraine

Hi, it's Nic from the May thread. I'm 19+1 and have been feeling my baby for two weeks or so now. Is it normal for the early movements to be quite low down? I mostly feel them low in my abdomen, which means the baby must be head up at the moment. Does this sound right?

Thanks
Nic

Yes thats normal as the placenta grows with baby and before 20 weeks the top of the placenta (fundus) is below the belly button.
