    Thats great

    yeah often different positions will make them kick more or u will feel it more, ur bub may be kicking the wrong way for u to feel it.

    Try a surgery drink or i used to drink anything fizzy and she would kick so much lol it was pretty funny

    bubs may still be moving when ur lying down but u may not be able to feel it , it depends when little one is kicking u lol

    try lying on ur side as well, that worked for me.
    Just remember kicks will get stronger as the weeks go by

    It is around 10 kicks a day, but when you have an anterior placenta, bub will probably be moving non-stop and you will hardly feel it. I only started getting noticable kicks at 26 weeks, before that, nothing. I'd go for a check up and the midwife would comment on how active bub was, but I couldn't feel a thing. You'll notice in the next couple of weeks that you can feel kicks more noticably as bub gets bigger and stronger. I wouldn't be worrying too much at this stage though.

    I was told not to start counting kicks till i was 28 weeks as baby is still not strong enough to be felt every day and every movement and it unnessary worrie.

    when i was 23 weeks i was not feeling kicks every day.
