2nd Trimester

When did you start feeling movement?

I know this question is probably asked often... But in what week do you normally start feeling movement?

Re: When did you start feeling movement?

  • I think anywhere between 17 - 22 is normal.  With DD, I started feeling mvmt at 17 weeks, DS at 14 weeks, and this one at 18 weeks.

  • I felt movement for SURE last week. At first I thought it might have been gas bubbles, but then I felt these tiny little taps in the same spot. I felt the same fluttery movements the same week, but not much this week :(
  • I started feeling flutters for split seconds at a time around 15/16w.  It's been more definite in week 17 and the movements last longer.

  • There's actually a really huge range from 16-24 weeks depending on your original weight, excess weight gain, placenta placement, size of baby, pregnancy number, etc.  My doctor told me that in her experience 20 weeks is about average (if not a little bit early). 

    I started feeling him in week 19, but was still hesitant to call it movement.  I felt undeniable baby movement at 20w0d.  DH felt him from the outside a few days later.  And I saw it for the first time at 21 weeks exactly.

  • I felt movement for the first time on 16w5d.
  • I started feeling movement at 14 weeks. At first it was very sporadic. Now it is all the time.  I don't even have to be paying attention to notice it.

    I may have started feeling movement earlier, but wasn't able to distinguish it.  I for sure felt him at 20 weeks.
  • 14 weeks sporadically and 17 weeks consistenly.
  • 21 weeks exaxtly

  • I started to feel movement at 19 weeks. Not too long after DH was also able to feel them. At 21 1/2 weeks I was actually able to see some of LO kicks on the outside.

  • I felt the first movement at 18 weeks, but I have to say.....this has been the most nerve wracking part of this pregnancy. Some days I feel movement, and some I don't feel anything....during which I *naturally* convince myself that something is wrong. I can't wait for consistent movement.
  • 21 weeks for me
