Ive been feeling my baby move for about 4 weeks now, and at first it was a butterfly feeling, but now its actually kicking, especialy when i eat and have a hot drink, is it normal 2 feel it now at 21 weeks?

Thanks

I felt my first child at 15 weeks and other people could feel it at 18 weeks. I felt my 2nd child at 13 weeks and other people could feel it at 16 weeks. I am not pregnant with twins and I started feeling them at 9 1/2 weeks. I am now 12 weeks and it gets a little stronger every day. My fiance felt it once already!!

I first felt my baby moving around 18 w, and at the same time I saw the little pokes through my belly fat. My bf felt the baby a couple of weeks before that (he said he would put his hand on my stomach when I was sleeping and he would feel the kicks)

I started to feel the little butterfly movements around 17-18 weeks & its slowly progressed. It felt like big pops and just recently starting feeling stronger & Im 21 weeks too. I love the feeling! Today i felt him up by my rib cage though while I was in class :)

For some women it is perfectly normal. It is also very normal to feel your baby all the time and then go a few days without feeling much at this point because they're still so small and have so much room to "hide" or to kick toward your back. So don't fret if you do have a few quiet days here and there. You should be able to feel your baby move every single day, multiple times a day consistently by 24-26 weeks.

I started with flutters around 14 weeks and now at 22 weeks, he doesn't seem to ever stop moving!

Yeah, it's definitely normal. I first felt the little flutters right around 17 weeks. :) Enjoy it now before it starts to get painful!

SUPER NORMAL!!! I am 23 weeks and started with the flutters around about 18 -19 weeks and then full on kicks and punches at about 20 weeks. I am now 23 weeks and hubby and I can actually see the kicks from the outside now. We find it super enjoyable :)
