First Felt Baby move...

I'm almost 13 weeks (2 more days!) and it's my first pregnancy. Is anyone around that and felt baby move? I know everyone is different but hoping its soon!

  • What is it supposed to feel like? I am 13 weeks tomorrow and started feeling weird fluttering (not gas related) in the past week. I can't tell if it is baby movement or just some kind of uterine muscle spasm. In our ultrasound she was moving like crazy so maybe she is just really active causing me to feel it more.

    Sounds like you're feeling baby.  I always feel tiny bumps and pokes when I first feel baby.  A lot of people describe it that it feels like a fish is floating around in there.

  • 10 weeks here and felt baby off and on. I know it is baby and not gas... 3rd pregnancy. Fish flopping or flutters is the best way too describe.
  • I'm 11 + 4 today, but last night I felt these two tiny pokes about an inch below my navel going outwards. It hasn't happened since, and did not result in gas or bowel movements..
  • 10 weeks here too, and STM- haven't felt anything yet. With the first baby I didn't feel anything until maybe 17 weeks? It felt like bubbles popping.
  • with DS I felt it about 14 weeks and it felt like I had a little butterfly fluttering around... this time around it feels more like a flip from time to time but I'm only 11w3ds so not expecting to feel much until around 14 weeks. according to the average most moms start to feel quickening (small movements) anytime between 13 and 20 weeks sometimes later sometimes sooner (that's how averages work...) so if you don't feel anything yet don't worry. and if you do hold tight cause it only gets crazier from here. DS kicked a few ribs out of place last time. not comfy to say the least

  • @skruhmin Thanks for the help. The fish descriptions sound right. It actually feels like someone is doing the worm in my stomach.
  • I felt it once around 13 weeks with my first. I was sitting completely still one night and it was unmistakable even for a first timer haha. It was probably about 2 weeks before I started feeling/noticing it again. I think I was around 14-15 weeks when I felt my second baby.
    It's a boy! Born 42 weeks, 2 days.

    At 17 weeks was when I first felt the bubble popping sensation with my first kiddo.  This time, I've had all kinds of unusual sensations, but I don't think they are movements yet.  
  • Last two I felt at 14 weeks, to me it felt like popcorn popping! I'm 13w 2d and excited to start feeling it.
  • My 16yo felt like butterflies. I honestly don't remember how far along I was week wise. It was right around Thanksgiving and I found out I was preggers at the beginning of August so closer to 16 weeks-ish?

  • With my first I felt kicks at 18 weeks. Nothing yet. I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow so I'm hoping sometime in the next few weeks, since you supposedly feel it sooner each time.
  • I'm 13 weeks, I first felt a little movement between 11 and 12 weeks but I felt it again last night while sitting very still. I placed my hands on my stomach and felt tiny little pokes. This is my first pregnancy though so I wasn't sure, but I'm feeling hopeful!
