When did you first feel your baby move?

wendydances · April 2013

Hi ladies!

For those of you who have experienced those first kicks, butterflies. etc, how far along were you?? I saw a post on another board of someone who felt it at 14 weeks and 4 days and I am 15 weeks and 3 days and haven't felt anything yet, and of course then I start to worry. My doc says I also have an anterior placenta so it may take longer for me to feel it. How far along were you??

I saw that too and was like, ummm, I didn't think I was going to feel something for at least another several weeks or month. I looked online at when I should have "quickening" based on my due date and it says 5/13. Not saying I might not feel it earlie

15 weeks, but I really wasn't sure until after 16wks that that was what I was feeling. This was waaaaaaaaay early and I had a hard time convincing myself that's what it was. Most first time mom's don't feel anything until between 18-20 wwks.&n

I felt baby boy move at what I consider to be a pretty early stage just before 16 weeks. Although at the time I wasn't sure that the muscle twitching like movement I was feeling really was LO, as a couple more weeks passed, I knew it was. DH felt him betw

I wouldn't say I felt anything until around 20 weeks. And even then I definitely didn't know what it was- it almost felt like a rumbling, definitely not like kicking or anything. Don't worry about it!

ARS0805 · April 2013

I started feeling kicks and taps around 19 weeks. DH felt her around 20w. I have had terrible GI issues my entire life, so I missed all of the flutters and bubbles popping that people talk about. I am certain DH would have felt her at 19 weeks if he wo

I have an AP as well. I felt the 1st undeniable flutters at 17w,4d and then inconsistent movement for the next few weeks. Now, at 23w,3d, I feel movement daily, but not a ton all the time. Some women with AP don't feel movement until the

baker916 · April 2013

I felt really small things around 17 or 18 weeks, but wasn't sure if it was the baby or just stomach things. Around 19 weeks, I was sure that certain things were the baby, and around 20 and 21 weeks, I've been feeling the kicks a lot more strongly.

nawlinsgrl · April 2013

I had an AP last time and barely felt anything the entire pregnancy, a little here and there at the end, and I think DH was finally able to feel light "kicks" well into 3rd tri. It sucked in terms of reassurance, but was great in terms of being a

Im almost certain that I felt baby on Monday and yesterday but not today. I know exactly where baby is so I'm assuming that's what it was. It felt like a butterfly kiss, like your eyelashes on your skin, but in my tummy. Felt it

18 weeks for me. My OB said anything before 25wks was normal.

notquiteblushing · April 2013

20 weeks! In retrospect I may have felt a little something once at 18 weeks but seriously, even up until 24 weeks I was like "where are my kicks?!" Now (31 weeks) he kicks like maybe eight times a day. I have an anterior

MrsChopp · April 2013

I'm only 11 weeks, so clearly I haven't felt anything yet. But I can't wait for that day to come and for DH to be able to feel it!

KMD1106 · April 2013

I started feeling flutters, I think, about a week ago. I've maybe been feeling a few kicks around my belly button lately. Today I think I felt a legitimate kick a little lower.

I'm 20w5d for mobile users.

new+tothis · April 2013

First time around I think it was 16-18 weeks. This time I've just started feeling movement. I'm pretty skinny and my placenta is tilted off to one side which my OB said makes it easier to feel movement. I've never felt quickening or any sort of fluttering

blueberries8 · April 2013

I have an anterior placenta. I think I felt my first flutters during week 19 and definite movement during week 20.

jmorta04 · April 2013

Beginning flutters around 16ish weeks, but they weren't consistent and I wasn't always sure it was the baby. Definite noticeable baby movement around 18.5 weeks.

MBfromBMC · April 2013

I started feeling things late, even though my LO has been measuring larger all along. I had an anterior placenta that kept me from feeling early movements. I think I was probably in the early 20s and it felt more like gas bubbles than anything else! I wou

kathrynlo · April 2013

I also started feeling things late, even though little girl has measured ahead. I had an anterior placenta as well, and I started feeling kicks and punches around 22 weeks. At that point they weren't flutters or butterflies, they were straight up kicks an

Laurakat81 · April 2013

I have a posterior placenta which I believe is a big reason why I felt movement as early as I did. I felt my first "flutter" at 14w5d. I don't remember when they actually turned into real kicks though.

I was NOT expecting to feel anything
