    You probably won't see visible movement until well after 30 weeks. The baby isn't big enough. Enjoy the last 4-6 weeks of your pregnancy though - watching your belly writhing and swaying from side to side is great ould spree :)

    I am 25 weeks at the moment and our baby is very active. We can see a lot of his movements and have been able to do so since around week 20. However my placenta is at the back and as such he does not have to work too hard for us to see him.
    If your placenta is at the front it could be up to week 30 before you see the kicks.
    Hubbie likes to lie with his head on my belly at night before we go to sleep and gets plenty of kicks in the head for his troubles.

    It is all so amazing isn't it? Do you know what you are having?

    It's amazing how different it is for everyone. I'm 24 weeks and my baby's kicks are still not so strong. The O/H still can't feel them (it's tough on him I admit) but he will in time. Of course my little darling may end up moving most when I'm asleep or is just being a little terror already!!:p

    Its so easy how you get used to your bog kicking away so much. I remember so clearly when our baby went queit for 2 or 3 days....the 2 of us were frantic with worry.So much so we went into the Hospital to make sure verything was ok.Anyway after a trace we saw everything was grand....so guys with the active babies....dont fret if you dont feel bog moving for a couple of hours....the lil blighters. But DO talk to any MW if you dont feel movements for more thana day!
