How early have you felt your baby's first movements?

Punter2009 · May 2011

This is my 3rd pregnancy.

First pregnancy i felt flutters at about 18 weeks. Second pregnancy not till al least 22 weeks. There were 17 years between those pregnancies and my OB thought the 2nd pregnancy was my first because my abdominal muscles were so tight (i was pretty proud of this haha).

This time round since everything is recently stretched - Im hoping ill feel movement sooner.

I felt "flutters" around 15-16 weeks for a couple of weeks then nothing until week 28.

I have an anterior placenta, though Sad

Doc said the baby was moving I just couldn't feel it because of all the fluid between her and my stomach muscles. Around 28 weeks is when she became strong enough to punch and kick with enough force for me to feel it through the fluid.

I felt initial flutters at 17 1/2 weeks, but nothing consistent until 20 weeks. At 22 weeks, I started feeling rolls and kicks.

I felt the first kick - and it was defintely a kick - at 12 weeks. But that's abnormal....apparently I've got a future soccer star in there. At our 13 week ultra sound he was kicking a lot and the OB even asked me if I felt it...

I didn't feel it often or consistently until closer to 15 weeks. And now he wakes me up with kicks/punches.

This being my 3rd 'rodeo'--I feel the movement now at 14 weeks. I started feeling it about a week ago. With #2, it was around the same time (15 weeks). With #1, not until almost 20 weeks. If definitely helps to know what it feels like from experience, very true. I am sure actual 'kicking' won't be felt until into the 20-25th week (for me, that is...) :-)!

This is my first. I started feeling suspicious flatters at around 18-19 weeks, but nothing I could claim that it is the baby. I started feeling kicks and turns at 24 weeks. I do have an anterior placenta though. And now, I feel like this LO never sleeps. Some of the kicks in the ribs are even unpleasant:)

DD was about 18 weeks(flutters) adn better motion type movement about 20 weeks. This fetus about 14.5 weeks I felt the flutters start.

I felt some flutters at 12wk 4d, however the next day was an u/s and they measured 14wk 1d and 13wk 6d, so maybe it was them? Doc said they are quite big for where I'm at. I am excited to actually feel something and really know its them!

No help here, anterior placenta for each pregnancy. Boo! 20 weeks-ish each time.

I loved reading all the responses! Im hopeful and excited that it could happen anytime soon now!

First US is this Friday, and it cant come soon enough.

I felt the first flutters at 14 weeks 5 days. First kick at 16 weeks. I feel both now, but nothing consistent. Just random movement, although the kicks are getting more common (at least one or two a day now)

17 wks, then the real bump and thumps started at 23wks, she is a active lil girl.

I haven't felt any kicks yet, but I've been feeling the occasional flutter for weeks now. I am 13 weeks today. People kept telling me that it was too soon to feel anything, but I felt flutters; some at 8 and 9 weeks, not a lot, but occasionally. At about 12 weeks I could also feel a small contained area of 'slushing' like it feels if you drink a lot of water and moving around and feel it slushing in your stomach.
