    I did get one really big movement about a week ago. I was sitting on a bench at the train station with my hands resting on the top of my belly, and bubs kicked so hard that it pushed one of my hands off :eek: Gave me such a shock!

    But aside from that, all the movements have been pretty much the same.

    Is it normal to get those big movements at least 2-3 times a day? I can't use the bump as a table (so upset about that!) but if I ever rest anything even partly on it, Liebling can kick something that I find heavy off, even with me holding it down (not that I do that a lot, just wanted to demonstrate to DH how strong the baby is). Otherwise, the kicks are quite strong but there are quieter, sleepy movements too.

    (I can do my count-to-10 chart within half an hour of starting it too, so haven't bothered colouring it in any more. I had a good 100+ in the space of one hour last night, I gave up counting after 40 minutes.)

    I've never been asked about big movements so would like to know what that is too! Maybe it's your bowels - you're supposed to have a big movement pre-birth, aren't you?
