FTM, Baby Movement Poll 3/7

kmawb · March 2014

For the FTMs in the group: Have you felt baby move yet (not when you first felt it, but for your current GA)? Can't fit a SS option so the "I'm not sure if what I felt was movement or not" ladies are included in the no movement option.

I've felt little vibrations since 17 weeks. 3 nights ago I felt a solid KICK. 3 in a row. I almost cried. Of course DH was sleeping and dead to the world so he missed it.

I am 22w6d. I have felt "internal" movements, bubbling, etc for a little while now, but this week was the first time I could feel it from the outside.

DH has not been able to feel her yet.

I do have an anterior placenta which the OB warned may delay feeling her movements.

I first felt him from the outside at 22 weeks and 1 day. It was BEYOND AWESOME. Not only was a kick, but it was a rolling around sensation as well.

I'm a STM but voted with what I would have if I was a FTM. I didn't feel my daughter until about 24 weeks or I was unsure. This time it was 17 weeks!

I have no idea if the few movements I feel every now and then are baby or just gas bubbles...

emineminem · March 2014

For those feeling bubbles, now that I'm feeling her for sure, it still feels like bubbles sometimes! I will tell DH that the baby is bubbling

cuntasaurusrex · March 2014

Yup, it was feeling like bubble wrap popping at first, and now it's the same, *and* I'm feeling it on the outside. Usually around this time of day. I really hope he keeps it up for DH, 'cause he's getting sad that he can't feel it!

I saw my belly move from the outside last night and it was the weirdest but coolest thing ever! I started feeling him at 20w but maybe just 1-2x a day and now it's a couple times a day for a few times in a row, but still not frequently or strong enough for DH to feel him "for sure." Sometimes he sits with his hand on my stomach and when I go did you feel that, he goes no. Then he goes oh I felt it, when I really didn't feel anything myself. I don't know what he felt, but I just say ya that must of been him.

I've started feeling him every day, a few times a day. Yesterday morning I felt him over and over for an hour. I texted DH to say his son was having a dance party. DH replied: No dance party, just practicing his boxing footwork. LOL

TallMomma29 · March 2014

I'm 23 weeks and I already can't remember if I was 18 or 19 weeks when I first started feeling the baby move. I just found out today that I have an anterior placenta... Which I guess explains why I didn't feel anything sooner, and explains why I often seem to feel the jabs in my back/tailbone area stronger than in the front ;-)

agallagher86 · March 2014

DH and I both felt her kick for the first time at 18w1d, and she hasn't stopped moving since.

MstoMrstoMom851214 · March 2014

Just got back from the doctor's and they said that I should be feeling the baby move by now, so they think I am feeling it and not realizing it?! He was moving and kicking up a storm on the sono and my placenta isn't anterior. I really don't feel anything though!!

pantherRN · March 2014

I can see it now. Most awesome/weird thing ever. 23+1 today.

He kept it up!! DH felt him kick quite a few times tonight... he was in awe. So sweet

helloblueeyes · March 2014

I've felt one jab type thing that was for sure the baby, I think it was a case of in the right spot at the right time, cause anterior placenta yo. It actually driving me nuts that i can't/don't feel anything, although knowing how freaking active she is, it might be a blessing in disguise.

clebl24 · March 2014

I'm 19 weeks. I started feeling movement a few weeks ago. It's hard to describe. It just felt different and at the time I wasn't even sure. This week the movements has gotten stronger and more regular. I just love the little reminders thoughout the day that I'm carrying a sweet baby. I still can't feel anything from the outside.

bewilderingstar · March 2014

Can I ask why these polls keep popping up? I mean, I'm totally down for a clicky poll but I don't really understand why we get this one going every week.

TugboatSheila · March 2014

I've felt him everyday, sometimes only once, since 18 weeks ish. Started as a small pop here and there and now he round house kicks all my organs. DH and I just spent about 10 minutes feeling him kick us and watching my bump spazz out. I didn't realize you could see it on the outside this early. I'm 21w4d

It's weekly so we can see a progression.

Gotcha

cakebatter27 · March 2014

For those farther along. ..did the little vibrations stop and then the "kicks" be really sporadic?

I felt the little vibrations multiple times a day starting around 17 weeks. I felt an obvious kick Tuesday night and the last vibration Friday. I don't think I've felt anything at all since then. Normal?
