Name: Shauna [ Original Post ] I'm exactly 18 weeks today and this morning I felt my baby kick my hand. For the first time I felt movement from the outside, throughout the day I've only felt it 2-3 other times and not as strong...how often (on average) should I feel the baby move now that I've felt such a 'strong kick'? ↓

There is no 'average' at this point. When I was 18 weeks I had been feeling my baby kick for approx. 2 weeks at that point and then I went about 2-3 days without feeling anything at all. It worried me so I called my Dr. and she said it's perfectly fine and that the baby just isn't as active sometimes. Try not to count the kicks and just enjoy them when they happen. :) ↑
