When did you first feel baby move? I am 18 weeks now and have not felt the baby.... I try not to get too worried but sometimes my craziness gets the best of me.

?

TIA

    I felt flicks around 18 weeks.  If it wasn't because I was paying attention, I would have missed it (I thought it was gas the first few times).

    No worries!

    I'm 17 weeks today and still haven't felt anything - so you've got me.  I have no idea.  But I'm super envious of people who have felt the baby.  Of course, I think being plus-sized has only a little to do with it.  There are some thinner women who at 21 weeks, still haven't felt anything either.  It'll be an individual thing.  Try not to stress too much.

    I felt mine for the very first time at my ultrasound appt, oddly enough! It was at 20.5 weeks. I have an anterior placenta, which does not help the situation!! DH still can't feel it Sad

    You'll get there soon!! GL!

    I felt flutters (almost like muscle spasms) around 17 weeks, but I also have an anterior placenta. I am afraid that DH will never get to feel it from the outside or that I'll never get to see my belly move when he kicks. I hope I'm wrong though.

    Around 16 weeks. This is my second pregnancy (that has reached this far). Have you had your 20 weeks scan yet?

    I felt flutters early on but didn't actually feel real movement until around 18 / 19 weeks.  I just started being able to feel more pronounced movements and movement on the outside within the last week or so.

    *Don't flame me!*

    14 weeks - flutters - a definite kick at 15w1d, but more flutters and little kicks ever since. ?I am plus size, but I also had endo, so I have a very sensitive uterus, which is why I'm feeling it early - my OB confirmed that.

    But don't feel too bad about it! ?I've known skinny girls who didn't feel anything until 22 weeks!?

    I think i've been feeling flutters for a month already but i'd like to feel real kicks!!!  Also I'd like a cute bump but i feel that will never happen since the baby has "extra" room to grow.  I know i'm getting bigger becuase my clothes dont fit, but i dontknow if anyone is noticing but me!!

    I felt flutters as early as 13-14 weeks.  My OB confirmed what I was feeling.

     

    I hadn't felt real kicks until this past weekend, and don't think I would have noticed them as much, except they were directly into my bladder.  What a weird feeling!

    nothing, not even flutters until 22 weeks. I thought I would lose my mind. Hope you feel the babe soon.
