Hi there,

I am 18w6d (first time mom) and haven't felt any kicks yet....at least, I don't think I have. Anyone else in the same boat? Or, when did you first feel movement?

    I feel flutters pretty regularly throughout each day on regular intervals. I'm 21 weeks now also a ftm. I think they started around week 18 or 19. But my doc said not to worry so long as everything else is normal. Feeling the kicks will come eventually.

    With my 3rd son, I had a posterior placenta. Due to that I didn't feel him as soon. I even went for a ER sono to make sure as my others I felt at 15 weeks. Your placenta can choose to implant wherever and this is totally normal.
    I've also been told I have a possible placenta praevia, which tends to heal by itself as your belly grows. Mine did. Most OBs don't even tell you especially if they think you may stress over it as they find it early on and with time it general corrects itself. Our bodies are astonishing.

    Being your first, you may not know what the feeling is. It is faint when it starts. But this is very normal at this stage in the game. I definitely understand your concern. Hopefully this helps.

    Thank you! I am now 20w3 and felt the first flutters two days ago. Faint, but different than I've ever felt before! :)

    @knottie773d00fe3541d9c7 oh those first movements. 🧡 so magical when you get that 20 week sono and see baby move while you're feeling it. When you have baby and are holding them for the first time and you feel the little movements and snuggles they give, I always think, this is what they were doing inside and how insane that is. Congrats!!!!

    Just felt kicks for the first time on Saturday, right at the 23 week mark! Now it’s a fun game in the mornings just to lay still so my wife can feel them too!!! 😊😊

    23w5d. I feel kicks a lot but only when I’m sitting down. If I’m up moving around baby movement feels like reverse contractions (pushing out instead of squeezing in).
