For me some times it's turning and makes me feel queasy sometimes def a kick. My daughter felt the kick on Saturday she was really chuffed. DH has still not felt it.

depends on the baby, DD1 was 16 weeks. Then she got stuck in breech lol

DD was probably about 16 weeks, this one I would say nearer 12/13

I think I was about 18/19 weeks the first time round before I felt DD1 move... And even then it was few and far between and I was never sure if it really was the baby moving...

2nd time round was from about 12 weeks and I felt the baby turning over... My tiny bump used to go hard when she had her back pushed out... I think I was more in tune to how it feels to have a baby move inside you though...

I'm pretty sure I've felt this one move... But I'm only 8 weeks... So I could just be psychotic...

Everyone's different and it depends where your placenta is. I have an anterior placenta, felt first kick at 19 weeks, and didn't feel regular movement till 21/22 weeks.

Before then I felt a sort of 'rumbling' in my tummy which I'm not sure was the baby or not!

I have been feeling things for about the last 4 weeks. But second baby so you are meant to notice earlier.

I think the average is 20/21 weeks x

Hi everyone, am back from my holiday. I had a nice time. Our dog Ryder was very happy to see us when we picked him up yesterday. Have been catching up with all the posts. I have my first driving lesson tomorrow afternoon. It is raining here, wish it would stop and be warm again.

Any advice Ladies in buying from a friend? And making an offer on the pram (if I love it )

She has it on E Bay no reserve http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mamas-and-Papas-Pliko-Pramette-Afternoon-Tea-/250661412825?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Baby_BabyTravel_Pushchairs_GL&hash=item3a5c959fd9

She has said in her text looking for £125 but open to offers. I always feel awkard when dealing with people you know when it comes to matters of money etc etc.

Any tips/ Advice????

Thanks
