I Can't Feel My Baby Kick...

Hey Ladies, how is everybody doing?? I was wondering when am I supposed to feel the baby actually kick?  I am 17 weeks and 4 days, and I've only felt flutters/bubbles but only when I put my hand on my stomach, otherwise I can't feel anything...so is that normal???  I've felt the baby give a good kick ONCE and that was the otherday when I was getting my ultrasound done, and that was it.  All I can feel are flutters...and feels like somethings elbowing me from the inside, so it kinda hurts, not so much pain, just discomfort, could that be the baby "kicking" or is that just me...When should I expect these kicks?

Every woman feels it at different times.  Especially if it's their first pregnancy that has made it far enough to where the baby actually moves.  The flutters are probably normal at this point but you should start noticing more definate movements over the next few weeks.

I agree, everyone is different.. My first two pg, I dont ever remember feeling anything, but slight bumps.. This one has been so active, I am at 19 weeks and I am already getting woken up and have been feeling those bubbles sense 12 weeks.. As long as you get a kick here and there, sleep well.. Test yourself too, eat something, I do sugary and get a really active baby, and lay on your left side and wait.. I feel less when I move around, so be patient.. and Good Luck

I would say that in the next few weeks, you should start feeling more than flutters like losing said. You won't be able to tell a foot kick or head push, or feel the tushy in a certain spot until you're probably in your 24-28th weeks....that's when i remember feeling my first 2. Good luck, and don't stress it, you don't have to "count" movement until much later on!!!

Your baby is still too small to give you a good kick. I felt flutters and bubbles for a little while before I actually felt a kick. Later on you'll be complaining that the kicks hurt and they happen too much :)

I hope you feel it soon! The waiting game sucks...

You'll probably feel the fluttering for a while and then start to feel kicks here and there. And then before you know it, you'll feel more kicks and rolling... baby is still small, but it shouldn't be too long now!

I have this pamphlet from the preg. center I volunteer at and it says that at 18 weeks the baby's bones are hardening. So hopefully within the next week or two you'll feel stronger kicks!

The little bubble's you are feeling is your baby moving!!!!!!

I felt my baby move for the first time at 13 weeks 6 days. Im 19 weeks today and for the past week or so my mum and friends ahve been able to feel him/her on the outside. My doc thinks im measuring 2/3 weeks further on but my midwife just sayd every pregnancy is different and it may be cos im quite small.

Hopefully get my dates figured out at my scan wednesday - im sooooooooooooo excited
