2nd Trimester

when did you start to feel movement?

I am 17 1/2 weeks pregnant and I havent felt anything. I cant wait and am wondering when movement starts?

Re: when did you start to feel movement?

  • I first knew it was her at about 19 weeks with fluttering.  Kicks were obvious around 21 weeks or so, but only a few each day.  Movement is very different for everyone.  I have an anterior placenta so considering this, I actually felt her earlier than I expected to.

  • With DD, I felt her for the first time at 18w2d.

    Like the pp said, it's different for everyone, depending on your body, the position of your placenta and the position of the baby.

  • First started feeling flutters about 16 and half weeks... full on kicks (although subtle) since about 18 weeks.  I feel him at least 10 times a day now, which is sooooo cool!  DH even felt him kick for the first time about 3-4 nights ago.

  • It is really different for everyone and depends on your body type, placenta placement, baby size and temperment, position of the baby, etc.  I felt Kate around 21 wks for the first time (anterior placenta) and this one around 19 wks (another anterior placenta).  Anything from 15-23ish wks is "normal."
  • Still nothing to report here.

  • I can't remember with DS but I think around 12 wks.  With this one, my second pregnancy, I felt it super early at 9 wks.  10 wks. it became even more noticeable and then got stronger and more frequent as the weeks passed.  Now I can see her rolling around and kicking in there from the outside of my belly.

  • I felt the baby at the end of last week - so I supposed 18w4-5d...the doctor said I would start feeling something within the next couple weeks - and I did!

  • I THINK I felt my first one 2 nights ago.  When I had my u/s on wednesday, she said I had an anterior placenta (placenta was towards my belly button, not my back) and she said thats why I hadn't felt anything sooner, cause its a lot thicker and the baby has to kick through that.

    anyhow, I think its really normal.  I posted a few weeks ago that I was getting anxious cause I hadn't felt anything and there were a ton of responses of people my same "far along-ness" that were in the same situation 

  • felt flutters around 16 weeks... stronger kicks that I could feel outside with my hands... around wk 20-21 or so.

  • I am almost certain that I felt a little flutter last night when lying on my side in bed. I am only 13 weeks though, so I really am not sure. I felt the flutters and pops with my DD at 19 weeks or so.
