When did you first feel baby move?

I hear about these butterflies . . . .

Re: When did you first feel baby move?

  • This past Thursday, at 17w4d!  It was really shocking how sudden it was... went from nothing to backflips, lol.

  • about 18 weeks.  I wouldn't describe it as flutters or butterflies.  It's like muscle twinges.  But now he moves A LOT!!  Hubby got to feel him last night too!
  • Wyatt felt like "squirmies" which I told people because it sounded better than saying it felt like bunch of worms wriggling in my stomach.  I felt him around 16 weeks.  I haven't felt that with this one, but I have felt little taps, which could be baby or just muscle twitches so I won't commit.  I turned 17 weeks yesterday (my ticker is slightly off).
  • I just felt the baby for the first time earlier this week - I believe that my tilted uterus and placenta previa have a lot to do with not feeling anything sooner.  I didn't feel butterflies per say, rather "pops" - like an air bubble popping to the surface kind of feeling... very cool.

  • I'm still waiting.  Nothing yet here.
  • The way I described my first little movements to my doctor was "Its kind of like you're in a pool and someone swims by you, you know how you can feel the water move around you? Its like that but just right in this litte area and inside." I told him I didn't know what it was but it just felt weird. He told me it was baby moving even though I was only 13 and a half weeks.

  • At 16w 6d.  And there was NO mistaking what it was.  Since then I feel it four or five times a day--especially when I'm sitting at my desk or sitting in the car.  For me it feels like a snake moving around or sometimes like popcorn popping slowly.

  • In between 17 and 18 weeks I started feeling flutters.  I started feeling actual kicks around 20 weeks, and DH felt Squirt kick for the first time last week at 22 weeks.

  • I felt DS first move at 16 weeks.  It felt nothing like butterflies--more like a kitten rolling around in there.  This time around, I felt the baby move around 14, almost 15 weeks.

  • 18 weeks with DD and 15 weeks with LO.
