    I am sure that’s him. Little kicks can feel like little thumps at first. In no time, they will get a lot stronger ;) It’s such an awesome feeling!

    At 22 weeks, those are definitely his kicks, I’d be willing to bet.

    If its your first pregnancy, you feel them around this time.

    The next pregnancies, you’ll feel it a bit earlier.

    It’s probably your little man. :) Some women can feel the kicks earlier, some later – it really depends on your body type, how much weight you’ve gained, and how you’re carrying the baby and how he’s positioned (if he has his back turned, you won’t be able to feel the movements as much). Also, some babies can just move less than others, so don’t be too worried unless you think you’ve noticed something different that’s cause for concern.
