I've heard that new mothers can feel the baby moving around starting week 18 or so. Well, at week 18 I had moments of "Is he moving?" but now at week 20, there is NO question about it. He's been moving ALL THE TIME. In my case, its not just a tickling of flurries, it is very obvious. Maybe this means my little kicker will be a soccer star :)
Its become rather uncomfortable too. At this point, its been advised that I ONLY sleep on my sides because sleeping on my back cuts of blood circulation to the baby. So I've been waking up a lot a bit anxious because I get the feeling the baby is kicking trying to get more blood circulated. Furthermore, every time I get up, or off a chair, I feel like I am scrunching and hurting him. I feel slight pangs.
We're going to our 20 week appt this week, so hopefully the doctor will confirm these feelings are normal. Until then, off to another sleepless night!
