Movements

pshaortao

I know its very early for most but feel free to share when you started feeling your 1st/2nd etc and if you've started feeling anything with LO(s) yet. Also don't forget to mention how far along you are.

Keep in mind, this is not the place where you get to ask what we think you're feeling! I will make it easy for everybody. It's gas. Always gas.

PRETTY sure I felt baby moving last night! I've been feeling some things, but unsure and last night was that same feeling, but it felt more sure. Like how vague I am being here? Haha. Anyways, I think it was baby!

I'm only 14 weeks but I swear I feel a vibration feeling.  I think that's what it felt like with the twins but who knows.  I'm also still getting over a stomach bug so that could be it too.

I started feeling him at 15w4d and I've felt him almost daily since then (17w now) but only once or twice a day and still very softly.

JonesBaby0624

I felt my first baby move at 18 weeks.  I felt my second (who was big enough to feel) at 15.  I felt my third (again big enough to feel) at 14 1/2.  I've felt this little guy twice over the last couple days, so basically 14 weeks.  No kicks or anything like that, just that little feeling like something lightly rubbing up against you but inside.  Something you'd have a easy time missing if you'd never felt it before.

I felt this movement at 15w2d. It was a lot of movement all day long. Since then I've felt sporadic movements when I remember to pay attention.

edit to add: I first remember feeling DS1 move at about 22w, and DS2 at about 19w.

I felt DD a couple days shy of 18 weeks. DH felt her on the outside that night. It was like she decided to start ninja training that very day with lots of powerful kicks!

I'm only 14w4d now but have started to try and pay attention to possible flutters. So far I haven't been sure of anything yet.

I'm just 14 weeks too (baby #3) so I've been trying to pay closer attention when I have some down time (ha, which is rarely with a toddler) but I've been feeling the same "vibration" feeling. 

DD1 I think I first felt around 21 weeks. DD2 was about 17 weeks. 

MrsFox2008

I felt DD around 18 weeks! This time around I felt flutters at 14w 6d, I'm currently 16w 6 d and the baby kicks a lot after dinner 

mamatowildones

Felt first around 16. Second around 12 and this one a few weeks ago so around 13

ekw832001

To be honest I can't remember with DD when I first felt her real kick.  I thought I felt something around 16 weeks..other than that I think it was around 20 weeks..This time around I'm pretty positive the flutters started at 14 weeks...always in the same spot, now it's started to alternate sides...I'm 15 weeks.

Funny to see this post because I'm pretty sure I felt baby moving tonight!!

ShadeofGreen816

So happy for/jealous of everyone that can feel baby! I'm a FTM and only 13w, so it'll be a bit for me. I was over here feeling excited that I can finally feel the upper border of my uterus in my abdomen today! Hah! Small victories, I guess. 

mrsrep123

So excited for everyone feeling the movements! @JonesBaby0624  I need to pay close attention and look out for the vibrations. 

Nothing yet at 15w6d. At my check up today, the medical student (yes, I know but it wasn't an invasive appt so I said WTH) was using the Doppler to find the baby's heart rate and he laughed and said the baby was active and moving around quite a bit. He'd find it and then have to "chase" the baby. 

The first time around I "officially" felt kicks and flutters at 17w5d. (Had to go through my journal to remind myself, lol).

MrsFreeman2010

With my first I was 21 or 22 weeks but I had an anterior placenta that really blocked things. This time I think I started feeling flutters last week I think and this week it feels like he is rolling over and rubbing against my belly. I'll be 16 weeks Wednesday 

mdlorenz

First at 17-18 wks, these little beans at 15w on the dot. Like the sensation of holding a wiggly earthworm in your hand... 

sarah0985

I swore last night I felt something. Kinda felt like a ripple when I rolled over. but very strange and not 100%. I didn't feel it again but it was definitely a sensation I've never really felt before. FTM. 17+2

I'm a first time mom, so I'm aware I won't know for a longer time, but I felt something like this yesterday at 14 weeks 3 days. It was a little flutter below my belly button that was very different from anything I've experienced before. 

diana_3481

I keep thinking I feel flutters or movement but I am never sure lol.  I pay attention and try to tell the difference between stomach settling, gas..or baby ...but I am never sure.  I cant wait till I feel a good swift kick so there will be no doubt.  I am 17w2days.

I'm 16 weeks today and have been feeling little flutters for about a week now, but mostly on one side. I'd say I'm 90% sure it's baby girl. It feels very similar to the early flutter feelings I felt with my son, but I honestly can't remember when those started up. Last week, the doppler at my doctor's appointment picked up a ton of movement (along with the heartbeat), so I have a feeling this will be an active little lady...

kat81

I'm not sure yet. This is my third so I know what's what but it's still hard to tell in the beginning.

With my first I started feeling movement around 14-15 weeks (which I'm already at or past) and didn't know that it was movement because everyone said I couldn't that early, especially for #1, but as time passed I became more sure that what I had felt was in fact movement. With that pregnancy the movements were very striking and dramatic. You could see him across the room and/or through thick layers of clothing. People would literally be talking to me and then go, "oh my god!" because of what they saw. It was pretty awesome.

With my second I had an anterior placenta. I didn't feel movement until 18 weeks at least, and it was always somewhat subtle/muted. You could see her move sometimes, but you never got those sharp pokey kinds of movements. In comparison it was a big disappointment.

I'm starting to think I might have an anterior placenta again because I don't feel much yet. I'm feeling ambiguous things that feel more like #2 than #1. It's too bad, because it was way more fun the first time, and I was thinking posterior placenta this time plus it being #3 would create the most dramatic movements of all. But so far I'm thinking another anterior placenta is more likely. It will still be nice to eventually feel movement, but considering that this is what I think is the ONLY good part of pregnancy, I'll be sad to wait longer and have it be more muted.

I'm 17 weeks with #2 and have been feeling 'flutters' for a couple weeks. I would also get that feeling like when you go over a small hill in the car and lose your stomach. 

Sitting at my desk today I felt the pressure/flutters followed by 3 distinct pops. Definitely first kicks or flops from this baby. 

lilylover27

I am 16 weeks today and he felt what feels like squirming/flutters in the middle of my lower abdomen below my belly button. I have only probably felt it 2-3 times in the past week but always in the same spot. Might be gas might be baby who knows, but it is definitely a different feeling for me!

Jellybeanqueen13

14.5 weeks with twins and I have had some faint vibration/flutter feelings, just like I remember feeling at 19 weeks with my first pregnancy. 

roper2617

16+4, not my first pregnancy but first pregnancy to progress this far.
I started feeling movements right around the 16 week mark. They come and go but are definitely baby movements and not gas. It's happened I'd say about 3 times that I've felt LO squirming away. 

kns1988

I'm with ya, @ShadeofGreen816! 13 weeks 3 days, and I keep poking at my uterus and making my husband touch it. Haha the nurse asked me yesterday if I've felt the baby move yet, and I was like, "uh, ask me again at Christmas."

mommachanner

I'm almost 17 weeks with baby 2 and I've been feeling movement for a couple days. Didn't feel movement with DS until 19 weeks. 

JCWhitey

#1 I felt right around 16 weeks with the flutters.  #2 was also around 16 weeks but with full on kicks or thumps.  #3 started earlier.  12 weeks with flutters and yesterday at 14 weeks I'm pretty sure I felt a flip.  Or at least some large, spazzy movement.  Not consistent, though.  With my first two movement wasn't consistent until after 20 weeks.

marissy8

I swear I felt some fluttering at 10 weeks and since then I have felt it maybe 5-7 more times randomly but always in the evening (I will be 15 weeks on Sunday). I am so excited to start feeling movement consistently! During my 13 week ultrasound, she was moving a lot, so I will hopefully start feeling more soon. 

Yiggle09

16 weeks definitely starting to feel baby. this is number two and I felt number one much earlier. I feel a little pressure here and there like the baby is rolling 

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot

I refuse to believe whatever you felt before 14 weeks is anything but gas or random muscle spasms. After 14 weeks, I'll take it as legit. 

CherylE418

I felt him! I felt him!!! Was vacuuming late last night after putting up the Christmas tree, and as soon as I turned it off to start winding up the cord, felt this kind of light pulsing sensation for about 10 seconds in my lower abdomen area like he was doing little flutter kicks. Immediately lost it. Almost 18 weeks and was starting to get really aggravated that I hadn't felt him yet. Incredible feeling! 

march2008

I have felt some light pop feelings or flutters for the past few days, but only when I'm lying completely still and quiet and focusing on looking for it. Nothing regular or noticeable in daily activities yet. (STM, 16 + 2)

psherman42wwsa

15 weeks and I don't I feel any movement. H had his hand on my stomach and swore he felt the baby... It was just gas but I didn't tell him 

ScientistShesus

I'm 18 wks (and first time mom) and I've only felt about a handful of little bumps/flutters the last few days. It happens when I lay my hand across my uterus and press gently, either right before bed or when I wake up. At first I thought I was just over eager to feel baby, but now I am confident it's movement. Super cool feeling! 

Now that my nausea and fatigue are gone, and I'm finally getting a little bump, I feel like I can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel!! Haha 

KMD1106

I'm 15w3d (STM) and just today I'm feeling some fluttery/vibrations. It's definitely different than the gassy feelings I wondered about before. I'm thinking it's baby, but I'm not 100% sure. 

onebadmotha

I'm 14+3 with baby #2 and I swear I've been feeling a little something the past day or so. I'm not 100% certain yet, but I hope they get stronger and more frequent! Definitely the best part of pregnancy With my last pregnancy, I first felt DS around 17 weeks. 

MrsCPALeslie

15 weeks and nothing yet, but patiently waiting.

bacorrea

I'm 16+5 and have been feeling him move for probably about 2 weeks now. It's my second pregnancy and it's just softly at night. 

nda_roxybabe

My H is so anxious to feel baby, when do you normally start feeling movements on the outside?

WombThereItIs

I couldn't get anything strong enough for my husband to feel until about 20-21 weeks last time.
