These movements show your baby is alive and developing well. Do not wait until the next day. If this is your first pregnancy, it might not happen until about 20 weeks. However, by the second pregnancy, you might notice the tell-tale signs as early as 16 weeks. The type of movements you feel will depend on what your baby is doing and their stage of growth and development.
Each infant is different, with some more active than others. The first sensations you feel may be a fluttering like 'butterflies in your tummy' , swishing, rolling or tumbling sensation or a tiny kick. As your pregnancy progresses, the movements normally become more distinct and frequent. When your baby becomes bigger and stronger, and your skin is stretched tighter over your womb, you will more easily feel their kicks, jabbing and elbowing. Towards the end of the pregnancy, kicks to your ribs might hurt.
Towards the end of your pregnancy after 36 weeks , there is less room for your baby to move. Because of this the type of movements you notice, and feel may change. Women often describe as more forceful, with more rolling, squirming and pressing movements.
A healthy baby will keep moving when you are in labour. There are no set number of movements a baby should have, so counting kicks or recording on a chart is no longer recommended. It is different for each infant. If you notice anything unusual, seek out medical help as soon as possible. This may involve you going to hospital for monitoring or treatment.

While both took a non-hierarchical approach, distributing power broadly, Otpor was far more organized and disciplined, creating a training curriculum and holding bootcamps to indoctrinate new members in the principles of nonviolent struggle.
Like clarity of purpose, an emphasis on training is a common attribute of successful movements. Protests are incredibly stressful and often meet with fierce opposition.
Training helps activists maintain discipline. That was a tactic civil rights protesters intentionally adopted, and it worked. Now compare that to the unkempt protesters at Occupy events. What he found was that in small groups, people will conform to a majority opinion. More recent research suggests that the effect applies not only to people we know well, but that we are also influenced even by second and third degree relationships.
So while we usually notice successful movements after they have begun to attract large crowds and hold massive demonstrations, those are effects, not causes, of successful mobilization. It is when small groups connect — which has become exponentially easier in the digital age — that they gain their power. In The Tea Party and the Remaking of Republican Conservatism , Theda Skocpol and Vanessa Williamson observed that the movement was largely based in a wide-ranging assortment of groups that met in local cafes and coffee shops.
Rather, they suggest that protesters focus on building capacity and strategically sequencing their actions to gain support. If you can do that successfully, eventually the large crowds will take care of themselves. While focusing on building a shared purpose among a network of small groups is an effective way to build ideological continuity, it also presents a danger.
Tight-knit groups of likeminded people often forget that many others do not hold the same views. Often, as in the case of the Bernie Bro phenomenon last summer, they come to regard dissent as illegitimate. Once gained, it is jealously guarded, and the powerful have a substantial store of it to spend. It is closed, inaccessible and leader-driven. New power operates like a current. It is made by many. It is open, participatory and peer-driven.
The goal with new power is not to hoard it but to channel it. For any new power movement, identifying and cultivating the right connected connectors is often the difference between takeoff and fizzle. Having a connected and passionate crowd on your side has become a crucial asset in gaining new power.
Today, the tools and tactics available to movement builders have expanded hugely. At the same time, it has become harder to break through because everyone is trying to rally a crowd. Etsy, the online crafting marketplace, now has tens of millions of members and generates hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Yet it only got off the ground thanks to small groups of digitally savvy feminist crafters. The building blocks of a new power brand are very different from those of a purely commercial or transactional brand, or a top-down organizational one.
The platform was founded in Brooklyn in by four men, including Rob Kalin, a maker who wanted a market to sell his crafty, wood-covered computers. In the early s, there was a resurgence of enthusiasm for DIY artisanship. The early Etsy team deliberately recruited the most influential crafters at flea markets and promised them a place to sell their wares online. Critically, it also provided moderated forums on its website that allowed these crafters — who already shared a worldview and had mutual offline connections — to find one another.
This may seem like an innocuous enough statement, but truth be told, the socio-political-cultural-economic state in which we live makes this a rather bold rallying cry. Etsy is part of a larger movement, and we at Etsy want to learn more about the consciousness of feminist crafters in our midst. Every company or institution must make key early decisions about how it will project outward into the world. It has to come up with a name and settle on a visual aesthetic; it needs to refine a voice for how it speaks to consumers or clients.
These things define its brand. But as the company grew, it did so less like a franchise, with every room looking the same, and more like a movement, with early users sharing a passion for a new kind of stay — one that provided instant community in a new place, a host to guide them in a new city. By , Airbnb had in many ways moved beyond its earlier, more intimate and homemade feel.
But its founders needed to maintain that critical point of difference from checking in and out of a Best Western; losing the communal and community spirit of their early days was a real business threat. And there was another threat, too: the regulatory challenges to Airbnb that were popping up all over the world.
In a world awash with competing opportunities, achieving frictionlessness has become necessary for anyone trying to build a crowd.
