Second pregnancy question
*Do not want to worry anyone who is pregnant with their first, this relates to a second pregnancy.
Is it normal for the movements to feel strong so soon? I'm 21 weeks and the radiographer last week asked if I was getting movements and I said yes, they said "it'll be like butterflies". This really doesn't feel like butterflies this feels like he's karate chopping me 😅 I didn't feel with my first until later, I had a low lying anterior placenta. My firsts kicks never actually felt that strong the whole pregnancy. This time I've an anterior placenta but it's high. I'm just thinking if this is what it feels like at 21 weeks what's it going to feel like in another 10 😂

22 weeks and I can see them moving everywhere/as can my partner see and feel them. They are sooo strong too, bladder ones hurt 🤣🤣 I have a low lying anterior placenta this time so that’s interesting!
I started to feel this baby around 15 weeks I started seeing the movement at 17 weeks and now I’m 20 weeks and definitely can feel and see very strong movements it looks like when I was pregnant with my first at 30 weeks😅
I have felt the baby for ages tbh, cant rememver excact weeks but defo didnt feel my first at this stage

Yes my second pregnancy has been the exact same. My second child is a wriggler. Their kicks are much stronger and some days it feels like they are constantly moving. It is normal for each pregnancy to be different. I know people whose second pregnancy has been the opposite and they feel less. But yes I feel like in a month or two, the baby will be strong enough to kick themselves out 😂
