First Kick???

MGB123 · July 2015

Hey all, what week did you feel your first kick/movement and what pregnancy are you on?

caitlyn5454 · July 2015

I'm a FTM, and I think I was around 14 weeks when I felt that very first "someone's swimming in my uterus" feeling. Actual definite kick would probably be around the beginning of my 16th week? Goober's been kicking for the past almost 24 hours pretty non-stop though and I'm 18 weeks now.

First pregnancy around 18w, this time around 16w, and now by 19 weeks it's quite consistent and getting stronger more like a thump then a butterfly now

CharLG · July 2015

I'm also a FTM. Apps and people try to tell us that we cant feel it till we are 18-22 weeks as a first time mom and that even 18 weeks may be too early. I disagree because I felt the first flutters at 15 weeks. I'm 16 weeks today and they have gotten stronger everyday since. Today I actually saw my belly move! Not drastically, but it moved.

At first, it felt like a slight rolling feeling, like a little weak goldfish gliding around my tummy. Now it feels more like a strong muscle twitch, or some people have described it as popcorn popping in your belly.

I think if you're paying attention, and you're aware of your normal bodily functions you'll be able to tell earlier. If I wasn't paying attention I could have totally missed it. Now it's getting unmistakable.

At 16 weeks I was feeling what felt like pop rocks candy, then it got a little stronger like pop corn. At 17-18 weeks I was for sure feeling real kicks and now at almost 19 weeks I can see my belly move every time baby kicks. My SO likes to kiss my belly and baby will kick him in the mouth every time haha!

ETA: FTM as well!

FTM at 18 weeks today and for the last week I've been feeling like I'm being lightly poked in my lower abdomen. Like someone just tapped me with their finger from inside my uterus, which is probably baby's foot or hand. I'm so excited!

vppittman · July 2015

I started feeling something around 15w but definitely nothing consistent yet and I'm 17w. It is like PP described, someone tapping me from the inside.

kategancla · July 2015

I'm 17 weeks. FTM. Nothing but gas bubbles so far.

misamima · July 2015

I felt the first flutters with DD at 19 weeks. They didn't get stronger until 22 weeks.

With this LO, I started feeling that all too familiar flutter earlier this week at 15 weeks. It's still very light and far and few in between.

JElizbetty · July 2015

Second time mom, I felt this one at 16 weeks and now its so strong I can lay down and watch my belly jolt and move. My mom was watching too she was so amazed its happening so early.

18w5d now

grkgdss00 · July 2015

15w and nada! Waiting every day for it...

havefaith262 · July 2015

18 weeks and nothing. Hope everything's ok!

breezypip · July 2015

My OB told me not to expect anything until at least 20 weeks, but I'm secretly hoping I'll be one of the lucky ones that feels it earlier!

On the plus side, I'm 16+3 and I can FINALLY feel where uterus is. All of the sudden it is hard and distinct, so that will be my small victory for the day

Rratledge · July 2015

With my first pregnancy, I didn't feel any kicks until 24 or 25 weeks. It was scary and I was so worried that something was wrong. However, my son turned out to be very normal, healthy and active!

With this pregnancy (my second), I felt flutters at 14 weeks and had my first hard, unmistakeable kick last night (15 weeks).

FTM here. I felt first flutters at 17w6d...felt like butterflies in my tummy. The very first time I felt them, I was in the bathtub and immediately had a sick feeling, like nausea (very brief, didn't really get sick). Felt them again not too long after when enjoying some adult time in the bedroom. Haven't felt again since, but I've been kinda busy and not paying attention.

fmraglio · July 2015

FTM here. It was 14ish weeks when I felt my first. I feel her most when I'm in the bath or the pool. No actual "kicks" yet more like it feels like a small paintbrush being brushed against me or something. I wish they felt stronger, but eventually lol. I'm 15+4 now and don't feel her very often at all.

czirbs · July 2015

FTM, 18 weeks 1 day here. Haven't felt anything yet but am dying to! Our last ultrasound was at 12 weeks and our anatomy scan/my next appointment aren't until I'm 22 weeks; I just want to feel something so I can stop worrying!

4puddleducks · July 2015

Second time mom, I felt this baby starting at 14 weeks with light flutters. Last week, I felt more defined movement. This week at 18 weeks, I can feel definite movement with rolling around and kicks.

With DS, I didn't feel anything until 18 weeks and strong movements at 20 weeks.

eclaire0986 · July 2015

FTM, 18w4d and starting this week I have definitely felt flutters!

sassypants13 · July 2015

FTM, flutters started 15-16w. I'm 17.5 now and feel definite kicks but they're still soft and subtle. Baby gets really active after I eat or around really loud noise; the movie theater caused lots of commotion down there!

MGB123 · July 2015

Thanks for all your responses! I'm 18 weeks and haven't felt anything definite. I have felt some tightness every once in a while on one side but I'm thinking maybe it's too early. I was at doc last at 15wks and he was all good at that point. Prayers for all of our sweet babies!

Mother0fDragons · July 2015

I felt my first kick last week (week 17), it was a quick little jab feeling

I'm a FTM. I have also felt the pop rocks sensation that PP's have mentioned.
Hope you feel LO move soon!

mbecca11 · July 2015

I'm a FTM now at 17w exactly. I felt what felt to me like a muscle twitch in my stomach at 15w3d. I haven't felt anything like that since but one night last week I was trying to get LO to kick me again but I just felt a feeling like a fish was swimming in my stomach. I just wanna be able to feel my little princess all the time!

stickybun14 · July 2015

Felt a flutter at 16 weeks. Only felt it every few days. Now I'm 18 weeks and I can feel it rolling around and bumping me a few times throughout the day and night. First one for me.

TacoSarah · July 2015

I have a high anterior placenta so it wasn't until 18 weeks that I started to feel popping and rolling really down low. Now at 23 weeks I get very regular movement and very strong kicks, one woke me up this morning, but it's all down low.

rockinmathchic · July 2015

I'm a STM. With my first I felt flutters around 13 weeks, with the popcorn feeling a couple weeks later and full kicks about a week after that. This time I skipped the flutters and started feeling the popcorn feeling this week at 15 weeks.

ammnam14 · July 2015

Woke up last night to popcorn popping in my belly! It weirded me out until I realized it was baby! 15w6d

hplunkett2883 · July 2015

This is #4 for me. I don't remember when I felt my previous babies move (it's been about 8 yrs since I've been pg). I am 15w 1d and haven't felt anything yet.

kelseyjane2015 · July 2015

I'm a FTM with twins, I know people will think I'm crazy but I SWEAR I felt my little boys dancing around at 12-13 weeks. I'm 18 weeks now and it's only gotten stronger and more frequently. It's the very same feeling though!

chelseywms · July 2015

I'm on baby #1. I started noticing the flutters around 15wks, and last night, I'm pretty sure that stronger, swift movement was the first kick.

I'm currently 17wks and 2 days.

asmith40 · July 2015

I'm 17 weeks and nothing except constant grumbling in my stomach but that's only because I'm hungry ALL the time!! I can't wait to feel the baby!!!

nz113 · July 2015

I have an anterior placenta so I barely feel her and I'm 19 weeks. Had my anatomy scan and she literally wouldn't stop moving. The tech had a hard time getting her measurements. I was reassured to see her squirm since I hadn't felt her. If you don't feel your baby, don't freak out, it could be the position of your placenta.

Marchmellow2 · July 2015

I thought for sure I felt some movement around 14 weeks but nope it was gas. I still haven't felt movement! I'm 19 weeks today. I think it's because I have an anterior placenta. I probably won't feel much for a while.

valcow · July 2015

FTM, so I wasn't sure what I was going to feel. 17w4d, I felt what I though was gas, but different. I guess I would describe it as wiggling sensation. I also have an anterior placenta, so that made me even more unsure. Had Dr. appointment yesterday, and she told me it was the babies moving due to the location.

Now DH wants to see if he can feel something anytime I say they're moving. I told him that its probably going to be awhile before that happens.

dec15mum · July 2015

FTM and about 16 weeks for sure! I'm 18 weeks now and I can definitely feel the little guy kick

I have an anterior placenta too, definitely makes it harder to feel LO kicking! The couple of times that I have felt movement is late at night if I lay on my back for about ten minutes without moving. Hope you feel some kicking soon!

jmudrick · July 2015

I'm a FTM and I am 19 weeks. I have been feeling the flutters for the last 3-4 weeks. Felt the 1st real kick today with my hand on my tummy! It's super exciting!

krystalann117 · July 2015

FTM and 19w3d.. I started feeling little popcorn type sensations here and there about a week and a half ago.. and the past 2 days, I swear there's a dance party going on in there! Strangest, most amazing feeling ever! My husband can't wait to feel the kicks!
