You're at about the same point as me, Jackrose. With DS I felt it all for the first time quite a lot later and it was definitely stronger. This time I have felt kicks and somersaulty things, but it's a lot earlier and not as strong, because of course the baby is smaller and has more room to move around still at this point. Some days I don't feel anything and other days just one or two movements. With DS I had a fright late in the pregnancy where I didn't feel anything for 24 hours and went to get it checked out. He was lying with his back to my front and the kicking and poking were happening towards my back, which is why I couldn't feel it. Remember we can't feel kicks away from our front. I've also noticed that this time around I'm dealing with a toddler at the same time so I'm not as aware of movement as I was when it was just me and DH and we had the time to just sit/lie and be quiet and still. And given the busy-ness of this time of year, you're probably on the go constantly and bubs would be getting rocked to sleep by all that movement. Hope you find some time out to relax while you're away. Shouldn't be long now and we'll both be wishing the little darlings would just give us a break from the kicking for a little while and that our ribs weren't getting such a beating! Good luck
