When did your babies kick?

A M

I've seen this asked one billion times but here's one more for you At what point did you feel the babies kick you? I'm anxious to feel them kick me. Thanks!

Not so much "kicking" I don't think but general movement is what you feel in the beginning, it is like bubbles or butterflies, not a strong single hit. I am almost 19 weeks and have only felt movement maybe between 5 & 10 times over the last 2 weeks. Even though people with twins often feel them earlier, many still don't until 20 weeks-ish.

I felt the first flutters around 14 weeks.  I did feel some random big kicks around 15 weeks.  I don't think I felt regular kicks until more like around 18 weeks.

I didn't "knowingly" feel my boys until around 22-ish weeks. I might have had some motion a little before that, that I didn't realize was the babies.

I didn't know they were baby kicks for sure until just before 22 weeks.  I think I had been feeling them before that, but I wasn't sure they were babies.

My peri said I had forward-facing placentas (or something like that - I can't remember his words exactly) so that made a kind of cushion that prevented me from feeling them earlier.

I think that everyone is different on this. I felt flutters at about 14w and my DH could actually feel strong kicks from the outside at 17w. This is the earliest that I've heard of and I was really surprised I could feel it so early. That being said, I didn't feel anything on my left side where baby B was until weeks later.

I bet you will start feeling something soon! It is so exciting and reassuring!

I felt flutters at almost 13 weeks, and then actual big movement around 17 or 18 weeks. ?My husband could feel movement at about 19 weeks.
