I was feeling the same HJ, but at 18w 1d, there was my first 3 kicks. I wasn't sure that was what I was feeling or not, cos it kind of felt like a nerve twitching. No butterflies or light movements for me. From then on though they got more and more regular and now at 26 weeks there is no mistaking that feeling!

A friend of mine was exactly the same - felt nothing, but bang on the dot of 18 weeks she got definite kicks, no butterflies.

The one thing i have learnt through this pregnancy is that there is no 'normal' and that BB is the best place to find that out!! And the best place to find out that you aren't alone!
