i have been feeling slight *pops* since almost 18 weeks...yesterday i got my first real *kick* when i gulped some water...i haven't really felt the little guy too much today if at all nor have i got another big kick again. for some reason this worries me...when do things start to get more distinct and consistant? when something happens, then doesn't it causes me to panic...

I don't really know, since this is my first also, but FWIW I first felt movement about a week and a half ago, and have only felt it a few times since then. I am also happy each time I feel something.

BTW...did you get married?!?

 

[lovelygia]

I can't remember when it b/c's more regular. (Congrats on your wedding btw!) I do know each week I feel the baby more and more. I have been feeling it for 3 wks now and now feel it everyday.
I think I read you don't need to start keeping track of movemnets until 28 wks or so.

I'm pretty sure you don't worry about counting movements for another month or so. DD was kicking for quiet awhile before I had to start keeping track of it.

At this stage the babies are still so small that it's really easy to miss their movements. Especially if you're doing anything but sitting still, and depending on the direction the baby is kicking.

Call your practioner though if you're really worried!

I always heard kick counts/ movement counts were unreliable before 28 weeks.
