how soon did you feel baby?

autumn wren · July 2011

This is my first child, so I don't know what those first movements feel like. But for the past three or four days, I've been feeling tiny flutters right above my pubic bone. It's a different feeling than anything I've ever felt; it's not like gas, which is usually higher up. It feels like little thumps or scratches down there and it will go on for a long time then die back down before it picks back up again. It's really consistent in what it feels like...could this possibly be baby? I keep telling myself that it's too soon, but then part of me thinks that it is possible because of how different it feels.

Is it possible, or am I crazy? haha

It's totally possible it's the baby. With my first I started feeling flutters around 15 weeks. With this one I started feeling the flutters around 12.5 weeks. At 16weeks they turned to pokes and jabs.

That is how my first fluttery feelings started up around 15-16 weeks. Within days, it was just stronger thumps, usually a few in a row (without a rhythm) while he kicked or stretched.

During my 17th week those kicks/bumps were able to be felt by myself and DH from the outside. Absolutely love it!

I am a late bloomer I guess, I started feeling flutters in the 17th week and am nowhere near feeling kicks/bumps, let alone ones DH can feel. I know some people feel them as early as 13 weeks, so it's quite possible!

Annya26 · July 2011

I felt the same thing at exactly 14 weeks and this is my first, so I would say its entirely possible! I have been told that it has a lot to do with where the placenta/baby/uterus are all sitting.

Nothing really since then so I am back to patiently waiting!

DD i didn't feel anything until about 19 weeks but this time around I'm already feeling things

alyss0nl · July 2011

Since I'm a first timer, I didn't know what exactly baby movement or kicks were like, but by the 16th week I could definitely feel movements and flutters. I just started to feel definite kicks last week.

slmayer1981 · July 2011

I started feeling movement around 15 weeks.

MissBHaven1024 · July 2011

I was 11 weeks with this baby and DD when I first felt flutters, at 13 weeks they turned into thumps and flicks, and at 15 weeks they were full on kicks and rolls. DH and DD both felt this baby on the outside at 15 weeks, and now at 19 weeks you can see the movement in my tummy! It's pretty cool!

I felt the first distinct kick at the end of my 16 weeks. This is my first

tinkerbell.8.6 · July 2011

I felt my first little kicks at 15-16 weeks but I didn't know for sure that it was the baby until about 18 weeks. It didn't feel like flutters to me though..more like when your eye twitches except of course in my lower abdomen. I'm 22 weeks and have been feeling him move every day for the past month. Now my stomach will giggle when he moves. It's such an amazing feeling!

LadyMadrid08 · July 2011

I started feeling baby around 14-15 weeks off an on, but not every day. I started feeling baby regularly around 18 weeks.

JessieP76 · July 2011

I'm 14w today and haven't felt anything. Can't wait for that to start!

yssej7 · July 2011

Yup thats the baby.. call me crazy but I started to feel little flutters around 12wks.. like a little fish swimming around and it was consistent, it only happened when i was laying down and paying close attention.. As the weeks went by the flutters becan little flick like,then became thunk like and now its kick/punch like.. I felt my first thud from the outside at 18wks and at exactly 20wks my DH was able to feel her too... Your not Crazy, U know the difference between gas and other possibilities, we've got the mothers intuition, u know its your baby..

NickaDee07 · July 2011

I'm just starting to (no doubt about it) feel my son. I'm 20 weeks exactly tomorrow.

JKTTC1 · July 2011

This is our first....I didn't start feeling him till 17w2d. He was kicking and poking hard...he skipped the butterfly stage!

GoldenPeaches · July 2011

I felt the baby for the first time when I was 13 weeks and a few days. At first it felt like tiny muscle twitches but now it is more defined jabs and pokes. This is also my first.

TonyaCody06 · July 2011

i felt true kicks for the 1st time last night

Mama2be177 · July 2011

OMG im so jealous. I can not wait to feel this little miracle inside of me. Congrats ladies Yes

AmandaC913 · July 2011

I think I missed out on the flutter stage and went straight to kicks/jabs. I felt the first movement at 18wks 6 days.

GPickles · July 2011

I haven't felt anything yet at 17 weeks. I do have an anterior placenta and can't wait till I feel something.

OurJellybean · July 2011

Havent felt anything yet but im overweight so that could be why

kg_08 · July 2011

I was POSITIVE I was feeling DD at 14 weeks. Felt like lightly being poked with a pencil eraser, and sometimes like a little gold fish wiggling.

Definitely was her, and DH and I could both feel her from the outside at 16 weeks! It's early, but 100% possible.

faithmua · July 2011

This is my first, and I could feel movement at 13.5 weeks. DH felt it on the outside at around 18 weeks, I believe.

ashtonsuzanne · July 2011

I just started feeling it this past weeked (16 weeks), DH felt them for the first time on Saturday. So exciting!! Feel like a muscle spasm/twitch in my guts but different than gas would feel if that makes any sense.

Faliny · July 2011

I felt a tickle in my lower belly around 16-17 weeks. I actually felt her kick and move around by week 19. Now I'm 21 weeks and can feel her a lot!!

jessicacmiel · July 2011

I did not start feeling movement until week 20-21. This is my first baby and to me it feels like a twitch in my lower abdomen. It doesn't feel like I could mistake it for gas, it is different and for me I only feel one twitch and then nothing and then a few minutes later another twitch....not a bunch at one time.
