    Megsy - My moment started towards the top of my belly button like a bubble but seems to be lower down now.

    Our little one likes to start up when I am at work in the moring and just after I get home at night and will keep it up till I get to bed. It only really started a week ago for me as she is sitting behind the placenta

    Our little boy kicks me first thing in the morning - usually 6am to go wee .. then i can't sleep again, then he wriggles for the morn... goes to sleep until just before lunch, has a kick around ... sleeps til mid arvo... kicking again and then tends to sleep til i go to bed (or maybe i don't feel him) and flat out kicks A LOT for about an hour.

    megsy - my first proper kicks were down low near pelvis and it scared the crapiola outta me... i laughed and cried at the same time. once you feel it you just want to keep on feeling it.

    The first kicks i felt were down low and in front. I think it depends where your placenta is positioned as to when you will feel it as well.

    When my bubs first started to kick (around 19weeks when I felt a definite kick) it used to be mainly in the evening or if I was lying on the couch being still.

    Now I get kicked all the time. Day and night. high, low, side to side! I think now that bubs is bigger and stronger I can feel the kicks more often.

    It sounds like you have got your baby into a great sleep pattern as well!!!! Hope it continues!

    I tend to get kicks late morning, mid afternoon and 8pm onwards until I am asleep! The kicks are all over now, but initially they were low down, almost towards the back if that makes sense.
    With my first child, I didn't feel him kicking at night when I was asleep - but he kept my partner awake often by kicking him in the back!

    My baby's kicks are always down low and to the left, must be the position that she's comfy in or something. She's really active in the morning around 10-11, and today was kicking for like 30 mins non stop

    Claire used to have a bit of a kicking session as soon as I lay down in bed. She'd go for about 20 minutes. It felt like she was dancing in there! She did, however, kick all day, but mostly at night.
