I felt our baby kick for the first time at 17w6d really strong and then just little flutters afterwards, which kind of freaked me out too. Dont' worry though i put it down to the baby is still small and needs to be in a certain position for it to really feel like a kick/ punch.
i find that if i've been really busy during the day and haven't had a chance to sit down much, once i go to bed to go to sleep it fires up - i put my hand down low and stay still and talk to DP and it usually gives a few kicks - but can take awhile cos it might be asleep. also drink super cold water or have a bowl of cereal (my fave midnight snack) or icecream - haha that will wake it up.
We have another ultrasound booked next week, so I am officially putting off worrying about baby until after that (well, as much as I can manage, anyway). Hopefully it'll show that all is well and hopefully I'll be feeling regular movements by then anyway.
