skip flutters right to kicks?

I think I may skipped the flutter butterfly feeling stage. I just feel jabs every now and then. They are coming more regular now, esp after I eat. I told my OB the other day when he asked me about movement.

He said I may have skipped the flutter phase.

Does anyone else remember just feeling the kicks and not the flutter?

I felt flutters first, but it could be that the baby was turned so you couldn't feel movement during the flutter stage, and then turned around in time to kick you.

I don't think that I ever had flutters. I'm definitely getting kicked and jabbed all the time now.

I feel flutters. They were probably there, you either just didn't feel them or didn't notice what you were feeling. It took me a few days to realize what I was feeling. Haven't had kicks yet though.

Sometimes during a first pregnancy, the subtle little flutters don't really register to the mom. I bet you had them, just didn't notice, and you have a kung-fu baby! lol

I've felt actual jabs starting at 16 weeks. I don't think I ever had flutters either

I never felt the flutter thing. right away it was like large kernals of popcorn popping, like little pokes. Have no clue what a flutter is supposed to feel like haha.

Really no flutters here either- just serious movement started at 19 (sharp kicks and jabs) .Do you have an anterior placenta? I do and I wonder if that's the reason...

Yep, I've only ever felt kicks/jabs. They started around week 17.

i never felt any flutters either. around 17w I felt 3 little jabs and that was it until this week. i now feel her a few times a day, a lot of the time it's after I eat too!
