When did you feel baby REALLY first move

18 weeks and havent felt her yet :(

Re: When did you feel baby REALLY first move

  • Hi, there! I felt DS at around 17 weeks, but only subtle movements that could have easily been mistaken for gas. This time around, I've been feeling little flutters for a couple weeks, and stronger kicks and movements within the last week or so. I'll be 18 weeks on Sunday. I remember driving myself crazy waiting to feel DS, so don't get discouraged! It'll happen!

    Also, if you plan on hanging out with us for awhile, please consider changing your username to something that's easy to remember so we can get to know you better!  :)

  • In a first pregnancy, you might start feeling movement anytime between weeks 16 and 25. It's much more likely that you feel baby by 20 weeks but depending on position it might later. I think I felt my first around week 19. As long as your appointments have been going well, I would try not to worry. You should be feeling your baby soon.

  • Thought I felt some subtle movements around 17-18. But now that I'm 20 (almost 21) weeks, they are strong and clear. No worries! 

  • 2nd pregnancy, 16 weeks is when I tend to notice for sure.  I probably felt movement earlier but I always chalk those early movements up to gas.  It felt like muscle twitches/spasms when I really knew.

  • With my first pregnancy, around 16 weeks. I had an ultrasound and could see and few him kicking, so I knew what to look for. Same for this pregnancy. I’m 19 weeks now and she is kicking a lot!
