When did you first feel the baby moving?

wwsurf81 · March 2009

It has a fancy name for the first movements you feel. I can't remember what it is right now. Has anyone felt it yet? When? I just read on a website that 13 weeks is when you do, but that sounds so so early.

"flutters" I felt mine and a kick at 16.5 weeks.

Lolita0626 · March 2009

I started feeling flutters at around 17 weeks and kicks at 19 weeks.

chantellg · March 2009

its called quickening....and i have felt it for about two weeks now, before it wasn't as definite, now i am sure that it is the baby. feels a little stronger now and im 18 weeks.

BadaBing327 · March 2009

Most sites refer to the "flutters" as quickening. I first started feeling "flutters" at 16 weeks and have felt much more movement and stronger kicks/punches in the last week.

WestieMama · March 2009

This past week I've really felt the baby start to move, but it's not all the time and it's very faint.

mrs.fonz · March 2009

Maybe I was a little late but I didn't feel anything until my 20th week.?

LorettaMG · March 2009

I believe you're referring to quickening. It feels like a butterfly fluttering around. I heard that if you are lying in the "right" position you can feel it as early as week 14... but is most commonly noticed in between weeks 16 & 20.

19w3d.

aniceucchik · March 2009

within the past 2 weeks...13w is waaay to early...16 weeks is what my books say...but the average is between 18-22...but could be 16-26...

UrbanHippieMama · March 2009

I just started to feel baby moving around 19-20 weeks.

jensahokie · March 2009

I haven't felt any movements yet (at least that I can be sure are the baby)

*Bee* · March 2009

I started feeling little nudges at the end of my 15th week. It was very random, not everyday. Now I feel her kicking and punching at numerous times throughout the day and DH felt her for the first time last night.

mistresscox · March 2009

Still waiting...but I have an anterior placenta, so I'm expecting sometime in the next two weeks.

wwsurf81 · March 2009

I read 13 weeks and I was like...WHAT?? It's only like 2 inches long. There's no way. I was just checking. I'll be 13 wks in a few days. 16-20 wks sounds more realistic to me.

MrsGibson07 · March 2009

I started feeling her around 17 weeks, but not too strong. Just recently I have felt her pretty often and pretty strongly. Its getting stronger too!

BigIsland07 · March 2009

flutters that I wasn't sure were baby at 14 or 15. Definite kicks at 16, but I still don't feel it regularly. Maybe every other day or so. Must depend on the position the baby is in.

judgeandjury · March 2009

I'm still waiting to feel our little guy's movement. I feel a lot of weird things, but none of them feel like 'flutters'.

mrs.fonz:

Ditto. I was sure what I felt this past week. It's so exciting!

mrs.guice · March 2009

I started to feel little kicks at 16 weeks but nothing consistant. This past week has been very noticable and consistant.

eclipsed823 · March 2009

I first started feeling flutters around 16 weeks. ?At around 20 weeks I started feeling full fledged kicks.

hparrott · March 2009

I felt "flutters" here and there at about 15-16 weeks, but kicks (not really hard ones yet) at about 20-21 weeks. I hear that with your first you don't feel them until 19-22 weeks. Also, I have an anterior placenta so it makes it harder to feel until later on when the baby is bigger.

b.heather · March 2009

I felt flutters starting in week 17. I'm almost 19 weeks now and feel them more regularly, but I wouldn't say I feel "kicks" yet.

Sirenella4 · March 2009

13 weeks?? what crazy website said that? my books say around 16-20 weeks. i'll be 20 weeks tomorrow, but nothing yet! hopefully it'll be any day now!

DonnysBride09 · March 2009

ill be 21 weeks tmrw, and i havent felt anything. a few times i "thought" i did.. but i cant be sure at all.. and it hasnt happened since. i am on the heavy side, so i am guessing that is why... cant wait tho!

robynlesley · March 2009

I've felt something that feels like tingles or Pop Rocks exploding in my lower abdomen (between navel and pelvis) which I think is movement but I'm not 100% sure. The first time I felt this was last Friday (16w1d) and then nothing until yesterday. It's very sporadic.

mpls_cat · March 2009

17 weeks for me.

AngelLuver_02 · March 2009

flutters twice at 18 weeks, then nothing, then at 22 1/2 weeks i felt definte kicks and movement. I will also add that I have an anterior placenta and some of her movements are muted.

OxAMYxO · March 2009

Right around 16-17 weeks.. just itty bitty pokes. But within a couple weeks, its full on right hooks. Love it!

Mama Angelina · March 2009

I felt quickening or lightening at 15 weeks and just in the past few days I have felt some little taps.

nycteach · March 2009

Flutters sometime between 16-17 weeks. I still can't say that I've really felt any kicks yet though.

Manderlin923 · March 2009

I swear I felt something last week (14 weeks) while sitting down and relaxing. Felt like when you turn a bottle of water upside down and bubbles rise to the other side. Felt like a little row of bubbles. I know that's early though and this is my first baby so maybe it was just gas. But it did feel weird enough that I went, "Oh! What was that?"

I've been feeling small little things this weekend, off and on.... don't know if it's the baby or just my gurgly stomach!

I can't wait to feel kicks for real!!!!

meg1974 · March 2009

I'm pretty sure I felt my first flutter today (15 wks). It felt like something was shifting in my uterus - not like gas (I've had enough of that lately, I would recognize it!). It's hard to describe it, and so far I've only felt it once.

virtual_teacher · March 2009

I'm almost 20 weeks and I haven't felt anything yet.
