any first time moms felt the flutters yet?

parneetkur · February 2016

Hey all.. i am 15 weeks and 2 days . FTM . Curious to know of any of you ladies have felt any flutters or any other sign of baby move? Being a first pregnancy I am clueless as to how it will feel and I think I might mistake ot for something else!!

bananers · February 2016

Not a FTM, but I will say, you probably WlLL mistake it for something else in the beginning. It feels kind of like gas bubbles, or like a teeny fish flopping around. It's very subtle at first, but it grows stronger with time until it becomes unmistakable.

I wil say, even as a second time mom, I've felt some flutters I thought might be baby, but even I'm not sure yet!

JournoGrl23 · February 2016

I'm a FTM at 14 weeks. I THINK I felt some flutters that could be baby. I've been feeling a new sensation in my right lower abdomen, which is where my doctor found the heartbeat two weeks ago. It gets stronger when I eat certain foods and when I'm resting. I have no idea if it's baby or not but I like to think so because that makes me happy.

dirtyboots · February 2016

16 weeks, FTM, and nothing here yet. Middle of last week I thought I felt something... Turned out to be gas. Lol never been so gassy in my life and of course it has to come on right about the same time baby is supposed to start being noticeable.

cepricco · February 2016

I am a FTM (currently just over 15 weeks) and I think I felt flutters last week on 2 different days. It only happened when I was sitting and it was really low in my abdomen. It was this odd flip-flop feeling, like being on a roller coaster. I know it could be gas, but I am going with baby!

DoxieLove05 · February 2016

FTM, 14 weeks and I am pretty sure I am feeling the baby every once in a while. I have to lay still and have no other distractions. This morning I felt it while laying in bed, felt like very light bubbles or fluttering. I am almost positive it was the baby, such a cool feeling!!

MamaKSquared · February 2016

FTM at 15 weeks here. I'm pretty sure I felt baby a few times last week. I felt something on Friday and if it wasn't the baby, I'm absolutely losing my mind! It is a very cool feeling and I can't wait until they're more consistent and for DH to be able to feel!

amarfeo17 · February 2016

I was just laying down and I swear I felt a "pop" feeling in my lower abdomen! I'm 15 weeks 5 days and a FTM

DressageDarling · February 2016

I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow and haven't felt anything. Not too worried though, I have no idea what I should be feeling and it's still early

janflo27 · February 2016

I'm 15 weeks now and last week I swear I felt flutters. At first it was subtle and then it felt like there was a butterfly in my belly. Depending where your uterus is, you could feel it early, I'm told. :-)

Knottie1427415498 · February 2016

I'm only 12 weeks...haven't felt anything.... but then again also a FTM so I'm also clueless

mamarusaw · February 2016

15 weeks here. Talked to a few of my friends who have had multiple kiddos. I described exactly what I was feeling and they all told me "yeah that's what the feeling starts out like....then eventually turns to kicks & punches" . I'm convinced it's baby

WinnieLou82 · February 2016

16 weeks tomorrow and not a thing - I keep pausing at every feeling down there just in case!

HollieWood23 · February 2016

I'm 13 weeks today, I'm pretty confident I've felt baby move. .. every so often I feel like muscle twitches. . .today is the first time I've noticed it. ..I also poked my tummy a little to see if it would happen again, and it did a few moments later!

allishally13 · February 2016

15w4d today (ftm) and I've been feeling flutters and the floppy fish feeling for the past week or two for sure, and just in the last few days maybe once every day or two I feel one big kick feeling like someone flicked me right where baby is! So cool.

tisunge602 · February 2016

@WinnieLou82 and @DressageDarling 16 weeks is when I felt my first flutters with my first baby -- first "for sure" kick at 17 weeks! Excited for you all!

WildWhat · February 2016

14 weeks and nothing yet, I don't think. I really want to feel something!

squishy0511 · February 2016

I can't wait to feel them! I found out I have an anterior placenta though so it may be a while for me.

LadyBear10 · February 2016

My DH just sent me this. Thought of this thread. I am a FTM just here waiting for those movements to happen.

misspuppychow · February 2016

I'm a FTM and 16 weeks. I haven't felt anything I could even pretend is baby.

Lizzybug0802 · February 2016

Ftm 16 weeks, ive been feeling little movements on and off for about 4 days. Thought it was a bug crawing on me at first but the sensation stuck around. Now i can find the baby in a second using that sensation and my doppler.

parneetkur · February 2016

I am so happy for all of you. And will confess a little jealous but I am almost 16 weeks and haven't felt anything!! Except Gas. A lot of gas!! Waiting patiently.

riveridgional · February 2016

Yeah, I'm 16 weeks (FTM). I haven't felt anything either. I can't even trick myself into thinking I'm feeling something that could have been baby since there have literally been no feelings.

I hear the baby moving around like crazy on the doppler, but no feeling of it yet.

Car0liiine · February 2016

The ultrasound tech showed me at my appointment Friday how the placenta kind of wraps from from to side so she said I might not feel anything until about 22 weeks. That's so far away! I was really hoping to feel something any day now. Oh well. Pregnancy is all about patience it seems.

satto_takai · February 2016

I am 14w and nothing over here. I am pretty sure, this being my first, it will be a bit before I get a distinct "flutter."

cait5413 · February 2016

I'm 16w4d and felt the first thing last night that might be baby flutters. I felt three little bumps, like bubbles or popcorn, but it happened so fast and I couldn't replicate it (did lots of belly poking), so I'm not sure if I just imagined it. I was watching an online childbirth class, and starting the get anxious about episiotomies, c-sections, and pain meds when it happened, so I like to think it was baby saying, "it's ok, mom!" But it might have been all in my head.

felhan · February 2016

I'm at 13 weeks. Didnt feel any movements yet but I saw the baby moving when my doc was doing the ultrasound. Was such an indescribable feeling. Ever since then ive been touching my tummy to feel the baby movements but nothing so far

parneetkur · February 2016

Just wondering for those who have felt the flutters, how long do they last? Is it like a fraction of a second or a couple of seconds.. sorry I am clueless!!

At this stage, definitely a fraction of a second. Kind of like, blink and you'll miss it.

DoxieLove05 · February 2016

parneetkur Its a pretty quick feeling, last for maybe a whole second and then its gone. Sometimes it happens back to back and other times I wont feel it again for days. I cannot wait for it to be more frequent! Although I must admit its a very cool, but also strange feeling.

BritMC18 · February 2016

FTM 16w, 5days and nothing so far. Nothing that could even remotely be the the baby.

Hummingbird125 · February 2016

16W 5D as well, and haven't felt anything I could call baby yet! My coworker is 5 weeks ahead of me and hasn't felt any kicks yet either (she's also a FTM). Really hope I don't have to wait that long!!

daisylove15 · February 2016

I'm also clueless! Can it feel like a slight pinch? I felt that twice this morning and was curious!!

beenabee · February 2016

I am also clueless, FTM I have no idea what to look out for. I am 15w3d and the most I've felt is what feels kinda like a twitch but again I have no idea if that's baby or just my stomach twitching. Ugggg can't wait to actually feel bubs move!!!

tisunge602 · February 2016

@daisylove15 At this point it feels more like a little muscle twitch or a flick from the inside. So if that's what you felt, @BrunetteBabe722 - it was probably baby! It can also feel sort of like a tiny goldfish flopping around.

parneetkur · March 2016

So I didn't really feel the flutters but I do feel something rolling in my lower abdomen. Also I was listening to baby's heartbeat on my doppler and heard a loud static like noise coinciding with a thumping sensation at that very spot. So I am almost sure it is the baby. It's so surreal to feel it tge first time! ! Obviously I am ecstatic

That sounds more like round ligament pains.

nellybellycat · March 2016

18 weeks today, FTM, and I don't i've felt anything. If I have, I dont realize it.

tresamigos · March 2016

I THINK I felt something yesterday while driving home from work... It was a series of movements that felt like a little fish flopping around, but I haven't felt anything like that since, so I'm not really sure?? I'm 17w4d.

riveridgional · March 2016

I'm 17w6d and think l must have missed any flutters l felt because I'm pretty sure I'm feeling actual kicks now. They feel like bubbles popping. Unless these are flutters??? DH possibly felt one last night when I pushed his hand into my stomach as much as I could. But, I got so excited, contracted my stomach to sit up a little, and yelled, "Did you feel it!?" So, he's not sure now if it was the baby or my abs jumping.
