It depends on where baby is laying & placenta etc is... As placenta could be cushioning the kicks.... With first baby, I honestly was petrified when everyone was asking me at 18wks if I could feel the kicks & I could not feel anything including flutters or butterflies as they called them... It was at my 25wks check up I cried tro OB about it & he explained baby was laying back & placenta in front, this baby is laying up front & placenta at back & I can see it roll over easily!!!! Felt proper kicks earlier etc... So don't panic or worry!!!!
