For those still anxiously waiting to feel baby move...

It may have a lot to do with your ab muscles and location of your uterus!

I was very fit prior to becoming pregnant and my ab muscles were/are pretty strong. I started to feel flutters in week 16, but still had moments where I wasn't sure if it was the baby or gas. Last week (20-21weeks) the kicks were more apparent. A few days ago, my baby moved up about 2 inches above my belly button and now I can feel him moving ALL.DAY.LONG. I think when he was lower in my abdomen, behind those muscles, it was harder to feel his movements. But now I feel everything. He's been so active today and actual felt like he was doing flips today while I was consoling a crying baby at work. Oh and I also think he had hiccups just a while ago :)
