Kicks?

 I'm now 16 weeks and 3 days. I think I feel her fluttering around in there, but when will I feel unmistakable movements? This is my first pregnancy. 

Re: Kicks?

  • It's not the same for everyone but I would expect real kicks between 18 and 20 weeks.

  • I'm 16w6d with my second and we got nothin here. I didn't feel kicks until almost 22 weeks last time.

  • With my first pregnancy I felt her at 18 weeks. This time I just started really feeling them a few days ago and I'm 17w4d now. Like pp said 18-20 weeks you'll feel it and its unmistakable! Such a crazy feeling!

  • I've started to feel little flips and nudges recently. I thought it was gas at first but now I'm able to distinguish between the two. Definitely feels strange at first, but super comforting.

  • I hit 16 weeks yesterday with my 3rd and I still can't be sure I've felt them.  I think I might have, but right now they're so subtle it's hard to tell for sure if it's baby or gas.  I'm hoping in the week week or two I'll feel something more definitive.
  • I could feel my first at 18 weeks. They were flutters and didn't become real kicks until around 26-28 weeks. I've been feeling this one since 17 weeks. With both, it was really infrequently at first. Usually daily movement, but just once or twice. Of course this varies woman to woman.






  • I'm at 19 weeks today, feeling mostly flutters but do feel some more defined kicks if my bladder is way too full - thanks kid!  With my first I felt movement between 19-20 weeks weeks and big kicks came closer to 24 weeks or so?

  • Felt an absolute summer Sault a few days ago. Now it is just little flutters and nudges here and there. Baby likes it when I get into the car to drive... and also fritos. I'm 15w5d with my 2nd. Felt the first at about 17 weeks
  • I'm at 16 weeks 5 days with my third and I felt her kick around 2 days ago, for several minutes. It was very obvious. It's not too early to feel them. With my first I felt her around 15/16 as well :) it's exciting isn't it??
  • I am at 18 weeks 4 days and I have been experiencing what feels like a twitch always on my lower left side. I don't know what else it could be besides baby!
  • I'm at 17w 2 days and I started feeling movement last week. It wasn't distinguishable "kicks" more like little flutters, flops and brushes!

    I'm 16 weeks and 5 days and have felt purposeful jabs the past few days. I described the sensation to my doctor, who (after asking where the jabs were and how often) said the jabs were most certainly kicks. Apparently, about half of the women, when describing baby's first movements, tell him "fluttering sensations" while the other half say "noticeable jabs." 

    Also, my baby has very long femurs...so I'm assuming he's/she's kicking up a storm in there. :smile:

    I felt my first jab at 14w but it's so early then that it's super inconsistent. I've been feeling daily kicks and flutters for about a week and love it! I also feel her more when my bladder's full, apparently that's her punching--or kicking bag. I love feeling her throughout the day but I can't wait until they get stronger and even more consistent, especially when DH can feel them (I'm a little chubby so I'm guessing it'll take longer thab normal for him to be able to).

    ETA: 18w4d now

  • I know it sounds crazy but I'm a FTM and I felt my first nudge at about 14.5 weeks! I wasn't sure then, but as I've been feeling them more its got to be the baby.  Sometimes they're more frequent, a couple in a row a few times in a row.  Exciting! I can feel it most when I'm sitting up but stretched out.
  • I'm 18w4d and I've been feeling flutters way down low for about a week. It was around this time with my other two as well.
  • I am 18 weeks today and I think I just felt 3 little kicks... but I dont know if its kicks or gas!!  I feel bloated and gasy from a big Greek lunch, but I definitely felt something down on my left side.  Ugh, I dont know what I feel anymore!  I'm a first time mom so I have no idea what to expect.
