In Reply to: When did you start to feel your baby move?? posted by GirlinWayside on August 20, 2003 at 05:23:54:
Hi there. I noticed that you posted this question several times and you seem a little worried about this. I did the exact same thing when I was around 19-20 weeks. I was starting to get frantic and this is my first child to. I asked the same questions and the same people responded. The fact that Nad was feeling the baby move so much earlier than me really freaked me out becvasue we are due on the exact same day. However, I had to just chill and realize everyone is different and so is every baby. So, with that being said, I didn't feel really anything until I would say 20-21 weeks and even then I wasn't sure if I was feeling it. Around 21-22 weeks it was definate movement and in the last month she has been really getting strong with the kicks.(26 weeks now) I know you have heard this a billion times but drink something very cold or sugary and lay on your left side by yourself, no TV, no hubby, just quiet and see if you can feel anything. Chances are you won't yet so don't lay there for 50 years and drink so much that you are going to float away or go into sugar shock. Be confident and know that in the next few weeks when you least expect it you will feel a little jab at your ribs or kick in the bladder (actually probably opposite for you...my daughter is breech so her legs are down and hands up) I just don't want you to worry...becasue I know how it felt and I wished someone would have just sat me down and siad look, this is the way it is and quit worrying about it. Anywyas, good luck! Hope I helped! By the way, when is your next docotr's appointment...a heartbeat will definately reassure you!
