Quickening--When did it first occur for you??

JonandJennifer

I believe I felt the baby moving for the first time last week, but haven't felt much since.  I am not concerned, but just wanted to know the intervels for which you guys felt your baby move.  I turn 18 weeks on Saturday!

It was right around 20 weeks for me.  I think I might have felt something a little sooner than that, but I'm not sure.

I knew for sure it was the baby kicking at 19 weeks, so I bet you're definitely feeling 'quickening' right now Isn't it awesome?! Now I look forward to the movements because it reminds me that she's doin' alright ?

I think it depends on your build a little too lol...  I'm very short so no where for baby to go but out, and I'm only 16 weeks but today I swear I felt a lot of movement... almost like pokes and rolls and I swear I felt it a few days ago too... and it was too low to be gas.   

Enjoy it!  It's so fun!

Just before 16 weeks

I was around 18 weeks when I first started feeling it.

I started feeling "swishy" feelings right at 15 weeks. It was a bit sporadic at first, but I'm feeling him a lot more now. I'm starting to feel identifiable kicks a bit more often, but it's usually just general movement.

I felt little nudges at 16 weeks. After I felt them I felt them once more the next day, then not again for four days, then after another three days, then every day since.  I felt actual kicks a couple weeks later

I think i felt it a few times but wasnt completely sure. Yesterday was the first day i knew it was baby kicking

Between 14 and 15 weeks for me. It was just little pops or a quick slither across my belly once every few days. Kicks got stronger around 18-19 weeks and movement has been consistent since about 20-21 weeks.

I swear I felt it today!  At various intervals throughout the day, only when on my back though.  

 

A swishy goldfish is kind of accurate but more like...when you get scared and your heart beats to the point you can just FEEL it...except this wasn't regular like the heartbeat.  And obviously much lower. I don't think I explained my analogy very well lol, but that's what it feels like to me.

 

I'm 15 weeks tomorrow

I first knew it was baby at like 16/17 weeks. But in the past week (I'll be 20 on Saturday) I've felt her almost EVERYDAY. Mostly in the afternoon and it just feels like someone is flicking you in the stomach.

18 weeks with first and 14 weeks with second.

I'm 17 weeks and honestly not sure if I have felt the baby at all. I thought maybe the other night I did but then again it could have just been gas. I can't wait till I really truly 100% feel baby move! But then I guess once that comes, you get over it quick because baby moves all the time and people are wishing baby would settle down. LOL.

I'm almost 20 and haven't felt it yet!  I thought I felt it one night when I was 16 weeks along but since I haven't felt anything since, I'm not so sure.  I hear it's still normal, but I'm really ready to feel it!

I started feeling thumps here and there around 16.5w, but they were very inconsistent. They gradually got more and more each week and at about 20 to 21 weeks he really started kicking me hard with obvious baby kicks... not the ones easily confused with gas. Now at 22w I feel good strong kicks several times a day. There's no doubt he's in there!

I never felt flutters, but at 16 weeks I felt a poke. Didn't feel anything else until between 18 and 19 weeks and movement was few and far between until around 23weeks.

14 weeks to the day. It felt like popcorn or bubbles popping way down in my abdomen. Now it is a little bit stronger and more frequent, but looking forward to being able to feel it from the outside!

I felt it for sure for the first time yesterday and have felt pretty consistent movement today.
