I'm 24 weeks today and when he moves around it feels like twitching or like I'm gonna have really bad bowl movements lol. Tmi .. sorry. But it does. The other morning we both felt him kick from the outside and that was amazing! My baby's father tried to cuddle up to me early on the morning and soon as he threw his arm over me her kicked it off lol. It was great.

Usually I have to lay down and concentrate. I work a lot and it's harder for me to feel him move bc my placenta is in the front as apposed to being in the back of the uterus. Which makes feeling movement harder. But yeah. Lay on ur back (propped up), and just relax... focus on baby.

It took me feeling him kick on the outside for me to know what his movements were. And that happened in my 23rd week, I think.

I'm 23 weeks and I've felt him kick around for the past few weeks like crazy. My baby boy gets active right after I eat or right when I want to go to bed. Sometime after you wat, lay down and try and feel for the little kicks

It'll feel like little gas bubbles, or twitches in your belly. Some people feel it early, some people feel it late.
