Like your Dr. told you, you should feel something before long, but it won't be a kick or a distict movement. When I was preg. I remember feeling like I had butterflies fluttering around,(almost like gas moving). In the beginning it is a very soft rubbing feel. Remember, you have a very small baby in a large ocean of water and as the baby grows, it outgrows the ocean, therefore, in time you will get the kicking and movement to the point that you can see it. This is really exciting. My Husband would talk to the baby when I would lie flat on my back and she would move around and kick. I nicknamed her my little "Kick Boxer". Each night before bed he would talk to her and "Tuck" her in. This became a ritual with us and was a very enjoyable time.

Good Luck and enjoy this time. Pamper yourselves, because before long you'll be Pampering a little bundle of joy.

Good Luck & God Bless you all
