Baby kick!

Jessieb63

I finally felt movement!  Anyone else?  I'm due in early November so I might b a few weeks ahead of most. 
Yall,  it's so cool!  I'm also a FTM if u cannot tell!

I'm a STM and almost 16 weeks. Started feeling little flutters a day or 2 ago 

kristah2

I'm 18+4 and still nothing. People keep asking and surprised k haven't felt anything yet and it's starting to worry me. I go to bed and can't sleep because I'm trying so hard to feel ANYTHING.

This is #2, but my 5th pregnancy... And baby only has half my uterus to grow in, so he's kind of smooshed in there. I've been feeling him since about 13 weeks, because of his limited space.

jenesiso

I can't wait till I feel it...I thought it happened last night but my husband said it was too high up and that it was gas lol oh well. 15w tomorrow.

I'm 18+3 FTM and I've been feeling it sporadically for a couple weeks but it's definitely getting stronger and more noticeable. Now that it's becoming more frequent I'm feeling less crazy about having felt it at first.

16 weeks. Stm. Starting to feel baby occasionally

This is baby #4 for me and I have been feeling movement for a few weeks now but it's definitely gotten stronger this past week I'm 18 weeks tomorrow.

I was like this with my 2nd child. I didn't feel her move until around 20-21weeks and even then it wasn't often it would drive me crazy thinking something was wrong since I was able to feel my first by 16 weeks but she was just a smaller baby. So try not to worry its normal

kgrisham18

Yeah, don't worry if you haven't felt anything yet.  I didn't feel baby #1 until about 21 weeks.

Thewizardofrhythm

Yup! Greatest feeling. For me it levels like what it is, movements in water splashing up against the shore, me!

Ladies, don't forget, depending on placenta position,  You may not feel baby until they're bigger. Anterior vs posterior... 

arcticseal-2

Yes, almost 18 weeks and third time Mom.

Have u been to any ultrasounds?  I bet the baby is fine.  I first felt it bc I laid on my tummy in the sand and it pushed back really hard.  Please don't stress!  I did for a while and started prodding.  Poor baby,  it did nothing but bother it.  I like what the other moms said,  your placenta may b in the way.  
I am also hyper vigilant.  
I pray your worries are relived soon and u can enjoy feeling him or her!!  

kristah2

@Jessieb63 thanks so much for your kind words and well wishes! We heard the heartbeat a few weeks ago but we have an ultrasound on Wednesday so that will relieve a lot. Part of it could be because I'm not sure what I'm looking for yet. At least that's what I'm going with right now to keep me at peace.

I had an anterior placenta with DD1 and didn't feel anything until about 20 weeks. This time I"ve been feeling thumps here and there since 14-15 weeks, definitely stronger now at 18+1. I know my placenta is posterior this time, and I also know what i'm feelign for. I felt like i was the LAST person to feel my baby last time. The combination of being 21 weeks and towards the end of the month (dd was due the 22nd) sucked!

atcwag

I didn't feel DS (1st pregnancy) until 25/26 weeks - anterior placenta. Nothing yet with this one and I'm 15+1, not sure of my placenta position. 

HMLanders

Yep, started feeling movement last week. stm

Des321

I've felt movement for a while but the last week has been the most dramatic change. I have felt a few actual kicks and she is constantly rolling around in there and I feel it nonstop. 18 weeks now.

ficbot

I don't think I have yet but maybe I did and just didn't know what it was. I was at the dr last week and heard it on the Doppler so I know it's there :-)

I'm 17+3 and am anxiously waiting too! Especially reading that other FTM started feeling movement around 16 weeks. I'm not worried yet, just anxious!

BabyVB118

Another anxious FTM here! I'm 17+5 today and I don't know if I have felt anything yet. A few times I've thought I felt him but my husband laughs and tells me I'm getting excited about farts... He might be right. I just don't know. I can't wait to KNOW it's him!!

FallenLeaves1990

I feel it when I'm standing mostly! I'm almost 19 weeks so I'm a bit farther along but I can definitely feel it inside way down low. It almost feels like a gas bubble. 

MollySm

I am 16 weeks and have been feeling it for about the past 2 weeks.  With my first I had an anterior placenta and didn't feel it til much, much later.  

Kittens22

Ftm, 17+5 and started to feel movement last night!!! This morning there were 5 big kicks all in a row too!!! Sooo so cool

tigerfish227

I know I already answered but I wanted to add that at first I had to lay really still and usually at least partially on my belly. I had to be quiet and concentrate(almost like meditating) and when I did feel it, it was very weak. Now it's more obvious and I've felt it randomly during the day but still mostly when I'm sitting or standing still. It's still pretty weak and more of just a flutter or tickle but sometimes it startles me because I'm not really expecting it or used to it yet.

With my first I started feeling him between 19 and 20 weeks.  I'm 16+5 with this one and no movement yet.

Leash14a

FTM here. The first time I felt it was at 16 weeks when I wasn't in maternity pants. As soon as I took off the pants or unbuttoned them secretly at my desk I could feel the baby move around a lot. I think it hated the tightness and was happy when it had space again. I didn't notice it again once I switched to maternity pants. Now at 17+5 whenever I eat cookies (which is more than I want to admit) the baby goes crazy! I think it's doing cartwheels in there or something off a sugar high.

FTM and 17 weeks today. `I think` I felt a flickering few days ago only for a second. I was lying and rubbing my belly and I felt a gentle touch there. I am trying to repeat that every night but it is not working

TwandaFTG

Ice water was the ticket to feeling my first one move.  I felt him at 18-19 weeks.  I will be 15 weeks tomorrow and don't think I have felt this one move yet.

whaat

I used to feel movement a lot more than I have in the past few days, but I know it's still early to feel anything (18w) so I'm not too worried. If I drink iced coffee I can get it to move when I need reassurance.

erniebernie1

With my first I had an anterior placenta and didn't feel him until like 21/22 weeks.vand even then, I would only feel him occasionally, mostly when lying on my side. I'm 15 weeks now with an anterior placenta again and no movements yet.

rencontrezmoi

STM here, and I've been feeling random flutters for just about a week now. I'm 15+3 today. With my first, I felt her at 19 weeks exactly.

I have a friend who is expecting her second currently, and she didn't feel any movement until 21 weeks with this one. It's crazy how different every pregnancy is.

kms456

I didn't feel DD1 until around 22 weeks. I've been feeling some rolling and flutters for about a week now. I'm 17 weeks.

LadyHook

Late but I felt my first at 16+4 and then every day thereafter. This time I first felt it really early (13+5) but it's been very sporadic since then.

I'm 16+5 today and have an OB appointment tomorrow where I'll be anxious to hear the hb. Looking forward to the movement becoming more regular; it's so reassuring.

FirstKru

FTM at 19 weeks today! I don't believe I felt anything yet but it is because I am not sure what feeling to expect. I am super anxious and I can't wait! 
I also have my anatomy scan next week when we are 20 weeks along. I can't wait to find out the health, sex, and whats going on in there so I can feel better

BabyVB118

I posted Monday morning that I had not felt anything yet but Monday afternoon I think I felt him for real for the first time. I felt it a few times Monday, a bunch yesterday and a few times already this morning. So far I only notice it when I'm sitting alone at work hunched over a little bit looking at my computer. Amazing!

desoky01

I've been feeling little pokes from the inside for the last two days. I almost can't believe it! Ftm at 17+5 today. I get so excited that I want to keep talking about it with everyone, but no one seems to be as excited as me. 

anotherlady2013

Last time I felt baby at 15+4 without question.  I'm 15+1 this time but nothing so far.  I'm wondering if it will take a bit longer since I'm fluffier this go around.

MrsEusini

16w5d today. I've recently felt what I can only describe as a light twitch, kinda like when your eye twitches. It kinda felt like popcorn popping. I've read that this could be baby, but I don't really believe that was baby yet. It's gotta be too early, or at least that's what I'm believing. I probably won't believe anything is baby until he actually gives the first really strong kick. 

SandNStarsNJ

@ficbot that's super possible. With my first, I didn't realize what I had been feeling were kicks till maybe 32 weeks.

With this one, I felt them for the first time last night! Series of little delightful flutters for a few minutes... nothing since, which always sends me to crazy town (secretly, of course). I'm 16 weeks and 6 days.
