when did you first feel the baby move?

Tulips21 · December 2009

I was just wondering when people first felt the baby move in their first pregnancy? I am 17 weeks and I haven't felt any movement yet. I know that second pregnancies people tend to feel movement sooner.

I'm pretty sure I felt a flutter around 13 weeks. I know it wasn't gas because if I had a gas bubble I would fart and never did. About a week or two ago I started feeling him more regularly. Some people don't start feeling it until mid 20 weeks.

I started feeling flutters around 16/17 weeks and full on kicks by 18/19 weeks.

this.

At about 17 weeks, I was feeling the faintest of flutters, to the point where I was kind of writing them off. By 19 weeks, there was no doubt.

17 weeks was the earliest I felt anything and those were like little flutters. It felt like popcorn popping in my belly.

I felt little twinges around 18 weeks and then about 20 weeks, I felt full kicks!! It will happen soon and it is amazing!

I haven't felt a thing either. No even anything that I would consider flutters, except one time but I'm pretty sure I had to poop.

I was worried about this at the 16w u/s, but was assured that he is measuring ahead, appears to be healthy and just generally doesn't like to move. So, I'm hoping that he's just a mellow little guy.

I know that frustration of wanting and waiting.

This is my 2nd, but my first was so long ago that I can't remember. I felt flutters really early, but this week I've been getting full-on, unmistakable kicks.

NewMama2010 · December 2009

I didn't feel a thing until about 21 weeks. Even then it was only little twitches and I wasn't 100% sure I was even feeling the baby. By 23 weeks I was feeling actual, unmistakable kicks...finally!

mikeismine · December 2009

My first pregnancy it was 23 weeks and with this one I am just over 18 weeks and have not felt anything yet.

kirkette · December 2009

A 9 weeks, I could feel little movements that I confirmed with my Dr.

At 15 weeks, the movement was more intense and DH could feel it from the outside.

cdc1982 · December 2009

I just felt movement for the first time last week (21wks 1 day)

bump54321 · December 2009

I didn't feel anything until about 19 weeks, and even then it was very light.

BelleIsa · December 2009

I am only starting to feel flutters now. My doctor said that was normal and that in the next two weeks I'll feel her more.

this exactly!

mlco33 · December 2009

i didn't feel the first kick/movement till 20 wks exactly...apparently I am a late bloomer.

Ivana_Stolichnaya · December 2009

I was sitting in a meeting at work and thought I felt a flutter...I was 17 weeks. By 18 weeks it was definitely the baby.

jorden&kristin · December 2009

This is my first but I started feeling flutters at 10 weeks and then full on kicks around 15 but just started being able to feel them from the outside this past weekend.

My midwife said I started feeling it so early because I have a forward titled uterus, moreso then most I guess... I was happy with that though!

s.leigh.c · December 2009

I still haven't felt anything. I told dr. and she reassured me I would soon. I can't wait to feel it. Maybe I just have a lazy baby...baby didn't do anything at 12w ultrasound except flip over, which I didn't even get to see because I had gotten up to pee and then came back and baby had flipped. At least I have my big U/S on Monday!!! Hopefully baby will move for me then!!
