FETAL MOVEMENTS

I felt the first movements I recognized as the baby this past Saturday (8-22-09). I was of course sitting quietly in bed and felt about 4 flutters in a row. I wasn't sure of what it was of first but when it happened a few times in a row I figured it out. The books I have all say you should start to feel movement between 16-20 weeks. I was right at the end of week 16 beginning of week 17.

Since then I have also been feeling a few little thumps here and there. The baby likes to move around in the afternoons while I am sitting at my desk or when I sit down in the evening. It is interesting to me how they seem to be in different places each time. The baby is certainly busy moving all around.
