2nd Trimester

How long before you felt the flutter?

My friends felt the baby sooner than me, I am 15 weeks and haven't yet. I don't know when people usually feel the baby for the first time- Figured before I worried, I would ask you guys.

Re: How long before you felt the flutter?

  • 13w3d for me, this is my second.
  • I started feeling flutters around 19 weeks. Some days I feel more than others.

  • I didn't feel my first flutter until about 17-18 weeks.

    I felt flutters around 15-16 weeks but didn't realize that was what they were at first.  I got my first kick at 17.5 weeks.
  • Do not worry.

    With DD, I hardly felt anything, as I had anterior placenta.  With this baby, I started feeling flutters about a week and a half ago.

  • It was more of a tap, but with DS I felt him at 19 weeks. So far nothing with this pregnancy.

  • Everyone feels the baby at different times depending on the person.  I felt mine around week 16 or so but some ladies didn't feel theirs until after week 20.  So relax it may be just a little bit early for you.
  • I am 18 weeks and still haven't felt my LO, and I am not worried. You may feel little things, but just not know what you are feeling-- and I think 15 weeks is on the early side to feel movement if this is your first and you don't know what it feels like.
  • I started to feel the faintest of flutters yesterday, and they're back again this a.m....so right at 17 weeks. I have to be sitting pretty still to feel them.
  • Thanks! Maybe my friends were early, or wishful thinkers, feeling it so soon!
  • i never felt flutters with number 1.  at 19 weeks I was in the dentists chair and felt a kick on the outside.  that was the first anything i felt!! 
  • I think I felt something last week, but I am still not 100% positive.  It happened pretty quick and just once. I haven't felt anything since.

    For me it wasn't a flutter like I've heard people describe, it was more like a flick, in my lower abdomen, just about the pubic hair line.

  • I'm 16w1d and haven't felt anything yet.
  • I am 19 weeks, and I have felt almost a popcorn feeling...but other than that once or twice...NOTHING...the doctor said it was early! So....I will just be patient!

    Haven't felt anything "fluttery" yet, but occasionally I feel a little spasm of sorts near the hair line, usually in the middle or to my right. It started about 4 days ago, I'm not sure if it's baby or not though.

    I can't wait until I can tell for sure it's baby moving around in there! 

  • The first flutter that I felt (and knew was the baby) was at 17 weeks...
  • with DS it wasn't until 19 weeks & I still haven't felt anything with this one
  • I felt flutters at 16 weeks and got my first kicks this past Friday :)

  • I felt flutters that I knew were LO around 17.5 weeks.  They've become consistently stronger since.  Now I can feel kicks from the outside if he's kicking hard enough.

  • I felt them around 19 weeks.
  • This is my first baby and I didn't feel her until 21 weeks.  It turns out I have an anterior placenta, so the baby was kicking that instead of me.  I wouldn't worry about not feeling the kicks yet.  My doctor said even with normal placentas, a lot of women don't feel kicks till after 18 weeks.
  • I'm a first-timer and it took 19 weeks!
  • I felt him between 17-19 weeks.  This is my first. 
  • I have been getting the "bubbles popping" feeling for a couple of days (this is my 2nd).  W/ DS it took a while, my placenta w/ anterior.
