Plus sized girls...

When did you feel your first kicks. I swear I felt something the other day but everything since then has been really faint that now I am thinking maybe it's all gas. My OB says 20 weeks is normal for starting to feel stuff. Just want to know when you started feeling kicks?

23 weeks.

I started feeling it on occasion around week 17, although my OB also said most people don't feel it until around 20 weeks. (She actually said she was jealous because she didn't feel it until week 25!) It felt like a little fluttering, or little bubbles, and happened only occasionally for the first few weeks. If you don't actually have gas, that is probably what you are feeling!

So exciting!

Plus sized?? I'm assuming that's not you in the picture then.

I'm average sized. I started feeling movement 18-19 weeks and kicks/punches at 21. I have anterior placenta so it's between the baby and my stomach which delays it somewhat...or so I'm told.

I am a pretty big girl size 22 pre baby. With my first, I felt him move around 21 weeks, second was 15 weeks and with this one around 11 weeks.

16 weeks and I was a size 18 pre pregnancy

I was size 18 pre preg. and I felt REALLY early like 13 weeks.... everyone told me I was wrong but it was def baby moving It feels like a little fish or butterfly is flying around in there and making bubbles..... if you dont have gas it is def prob the baby moving. I felt strong kicks around 18 weeks. I all depends on where the placenta is too. my sister in law is due a day before me and she is JUST now feeling light movements.... she was REALLY skinny to start out too.

Hahaha...I was thinking the same thing. If OP is plus sized, then I am a freight train.

But to answer the question, around 17...and now consistently at 19-20.

This! No offense intended OP- total compliment.

I started feeling fluttering/quickening around 16 weeks or so. It wasn't distinct and I wouldn't talk about it, but I know my body and was clear that was baby and not gas- though it is similar.

In the last week I've started feeling distinct movement and DH even felt her kick last night for the first time. Not that I could put my hand on my belly and feel anything, but he used his head and without question felt her. So inside I DEFINITELY know it is her. Plus she likes to use my cervix as a trampoline/punching bag lately...

15w3d I felt distinct flutters.

Full blown kicks didn't start until later around 20w or so. DH felt outside kicks around 23w.

I was a size 16 pre-preg.

I'm around a size 16/18 and thought I felt the first movements around 17 weeks, but this being a first pregnancy, I wasn't sure. Now at 20 weeks I feel movement quite often and it's the same feeling I had back then, so even though I was unsure, I'll say 17 weeks.
