Baby Kicks

If today is any indication of what life is going to be like for me for the next few months, I think I'll need to stock up on some undereye concealers.

Babe started kicking me at 6am this morning. Either he's an early riser, or my sleeping position made him uncomfortable. Yifan was shocked to see me wide awake when his alarm came on at 8am. Last night, the little one was also practising his kicks, some of them strong enough that I even jerked a little.

It's pretty rare for first-time pregnant moms to feel fetal kicks this early into the pregnancy. The time when "quickening" is felt is approximately between 16 and 22 weeks, with most people only getting the first kicks closer to 22 weeks than to 16. I'm just happy to start my experience in the 17th week.

Current Mood: enthralled

  1. HY is more obedient, he only kicked hard when we were in MRT.Sometimes the kicks may make you feel that you have the urgency to urinate
