12-24 weeks pregnant (part2)

welcome to the newcomers!

okay so far iv felt a bit of movement, usually when I'm in bed at night or in the morning. just flutters! but tonight iv felt what feels like some really big kicks! I lay on my back and I could see my stomach moving, like bobbing up and down! it's really scared me, is that normal? I know I'm probably being daft, it's just iv never felt big movements before, if they start getting really wriggly all of a sudden does that mean they're in distress or something? argh I don't know if I'm being silly!

Hello newbies I can't believe I'm 24 weeks tomorrow. This bump has been going bonkers the last couple of days, she has figured out how to jump about constantly!

Hope everyone is good

Hi firey I'm on the next thread now but read this one everyday still and wanted to reassure you that my baby does that every so often - just this evening it felt like she was having a party inside my tummy!! Sorry if this is TMI but I've had really bad wind this evening and I didn't know whether it was her reacting to that lol

So I'm sure your baby is fine - but it's always a good idea to phone your midwife if you are worried xxx

thank you!

it's just so weird how one minute I felt nothing next minute I felt these huge kicky movements and could see my stomach moving! it didn't hurt one bit, and she's calmed down a bit now, argh it's just so hard when you don't know what is normal!

Did you eat anything particularly sugary in the half hour previous to this? It might have been a sugar burst that set baby off my OHs mum has a pregnant friend at work and she ended up going to hospital because she ate a bag of skittles not realising stupidly quite how much sugar they contained and the baby had some kind of mega disco inside her womb - she didn't put two and two together and when she got to hospital they realised it was the skittles

Firey I remember I had small fluttery type movements at 17 weeks and then one morning at I think about 19 I felt this huge movement across my tummy & it changed shape! And from then on I had tons of big movements! It can be a bit odd at first and then especially later on they do this weird thing that feels like they are shaking!

Fiery I'm just the same - some days the movements are really subtle and then other days I can see the baby turning and feel big kicks! I always like to feel some movement before bed, I guess some days the movements are quite subtle and they get lost in the sensations of rushing around.
