Feeling the first baby kicks

Anyone feeling the first little kicks? It usually feels like a flutter of butterfly wings tapping around inside for me. I felt it at 15 weeks with my first. Waiting to feel it with my second. I’m getting excited because this is when pregnancy feels real for me! :)

    I felt flutters with my first around 18 weeks. With my second, around 16 weeks. I'm hoping I will feel this one soon! The little flutters are amazing!

    I am 99% sure I felt a few swift flutters as I lay down in bed to rest yesterday evening. It lasted a few minutes.  It was surreal and I’m hoping it happens again tonight!

    I'm 16 weeks as of Thursday and I'm pretty sure I have felt them sporadically since last week, especially after I eat something or if I'm laying still.

    I’m 17.5 weeks and have been feeling flutters! My husband put his hand on my belly and felt 2 distinct taps. Not sure if it was baby but it sure seemed like it! So exciting!

    Starting to feel little kicks and wiggles! 16 weeks yesterday. I didn’t feel anything definite until 18 weeks with my first. I love this stage 💕

    I felt the first flutters around 18 weeks.  This is my first pregnancy and it took me a little bit to recognize that's what it was.  To me it mostly feels like bubbles popping low down in my abdomen.  Now I'm partway into 19 weeks and it's gotten a little more frequent and recognizable, but still faint.  I can't wait until the kicks get stronger so I don't have to always stop and evaluate the feelings.  

    I agree the pregnancy doesn't even feel real until you can feel the baby moving.  I have had about 7 ultrasounds already and I constantly find myself wondering if there's really a baby in there or not!

    17 weeks and 3 days now, but uncertain if what I've been feeling is the baby moving. First time Mom, so I don't know what it should feel like yet. Excited for the day I know for certain  :)

    19w1D with my first and i don’t think i’ve felt any kicks/flutters yet. It’s starting to give me some anxiety. I have my 20 week appt next Monday and Anatomy scan next Wednesday. Anyone else in a similar boat?

    @caboorman96 yup same here. At an earlier US I was told I had an anterior placenta which isn't a problem but does make it harder to feel early movement because the placenta is between the stomach and the baby vs being behind/on the side. Or something like that.. I'm sure you'll have peace of mind at your appts next week!

    I’m 20 weeks today and the kicks are very strong starting at around 9pm when I’m relaxing. Baby has a posterior placenta, so it’s easier to feel her little kicks throughout the night. I actually saw my tummy move from some of the strong kicks last night. It was so fun to see. Baby’s anatomy scan is tomorrow!

    Felt my first definitive movements at 15w+6 (second child).  I’m 19W+3 now and while they are definitely inconsistent they are getting stronger. I can even sometimes feel them from the outside already! I think he’s going to be a big guy.

    I'm at 19w and a FTM. I think I felt the first flutters last week, but I'm not sure. I feel those same bubbles very randomly. Not at the same time or even every day. Am I feeling baby or just gas? Anyone else have very irregular flutters?

    @gam061723 those early flutters were never consistent for me. I really only felt them in quiet, still moments. Even as they turned into bigger kicks, there was a lot of inconsistency. I'm currently almost 22 weeks, and I'm starting to notice patterns.

    I never felt flutters this pregnancy. Just straight to kicks. I can't believe how strong this baby feels already.
