Anyone else experience kickin at 18 weeks?  It started today and I was thinking it was too soon.  But what about you guys?  I got a few flutters two weeks ago, but I swear this is her kickin!!  Its in my lower left side right at the bottom side of my bump.

 

What about yall??

    I'd been feeling flutters and pops the last couple of weeks, but this last week (week 18) I have been feeling full on kicks!! Even on my U/S on Friday I felt a good punch and she picked it up on the machine. :) It's the best feeling ever.

    Yup! I was at a wedding on Saturday and everytime people clapped the baby kicked and punched. One time it reared up hard and almost kind of shocked me with it's strength.

    At my appointment today, the doppler was picking up the kicks too!

    It is a great feeling :)

    I felt flutters at 16 weeks and full-on kicks at 18 weeks.  He has been kicking constantly since then!!  He also turns a lot which feels soooo strange :)  It feels a ton of pressure in my belly and then I can feel a hard area on one side of my bump.  I rub there and just know I'm rubbing my baby's back <3  It's so exciting!!

    Could be kicks or jabs or just arm flails.

    I felt flutters around 17-18 weeks. Now I feel harder jabs or kicks, and I can feel baby re-position when it moves around.

    Most likely you did feel a kick or jab.

    I'm sure its entirely possible! From what I am told a lot has to do with baby's position, your body, etc.

    I started feeling the tiniest pokes at 14 weeks (infrequently) and then last week at 16w3d the baby kicked while the midwife was doing the doppler and she felt it move the doppler. Then last night while I was sitting here it started kicking and switching positions all over and I could feel the tiniest movements from the outside. Pretty amazing!
