Baby moving yet?

Question

I’m a first time mom I’m 19 weeks I’ve felt the baby move flutter a couple times, but not as often as I’d like. Is it normal for that. Or should he be moving more by now?

Answer

Normal! And just FYI, it never felt like flutters to me. I went straight from no sensation to little flicks and thumps. It almost feels like a muscle twitch, but it’s strong and varies. If I’m lying flat, leaning back in a chair, or on my tummy, I can feel it more. If I put my hand on my stomach, I can feel the little thumps (it’s like I can feel his foot or hand sliding across). If you’d like to try to feel yours, try lying on your back in bed at night, just for a few minutes, and press your hand over your belly (gently), just below your belly button. And just breathe quietly. That’s how I felt the first movement. But don’t be discouraged! Most new moms don’t feel it until 20+ weeks. My friend just had a beautiful little girl. It’s her first baby and she didn’t feel anything until 22 weeks.
