I'm 18 1/2 weeks with number 3. I thought I'd be feeling kicks/movements by now, but I'm not. Seems I really can't remember much about pregnancy decpite this being the third one! So when do most people start feeling those little soumersalt floopy feelings?!

I felt DS move at around 18wks but I'm 22wks with DD and have only felt noticeable movements in the last 2wks

I first felt ds1 move at exactly 20 weeks and ds2 at 15 weeks. Currently 20+1 with ds3. I was panicking like mad because I wasn't feeling anything, honestly expected to start feeling him around the 15 week mark again. We had a private scan at 18 weeks and found out I have an anterior placenta so my placenta is blocking his kicks. Apparently as he gets bigger I may feel more but at the moment its just the odd flutter. Relieved to know he's still kicking away in there but cannot wait until I can feel him properly. Try not to worry x

21/22 with my first two, about 17 with the last. Anterior placenta with all though it was higher for the last one so I felt low down kicks early.

16 with dc1 and 17.5 with dc2 but it was a few weeks after that they became regular and very noticeable.

Another one with an anterior placenta. Didn't feel a thing until 24 weeks and then just flutters. By 27 weeks however he was playing football in there!

I could have written this post myself two weeks ago. I was in the exact same situation. 18 weeks with dc3 and concerned about lack of movement. Fast forward two weeks later and I have one very wriggly baby. You will feel those movements any time now.

I was feeling flutterings (when I was lying down in bed) around 13 weeks last time. Can't remover when they turned into proper kicks though

Another one with an anterior placenta, started feeling bubbles etc at 18 weeks & then proper movements from about 20 weeks. Have never felt anything on the lower left hand side of my bump but feel plenty at the top of my bump and to the right.

I'm 22 weeks with an anterior placenta and have just started to feel definite kicks and like a weird bouncing on my bladder. Kicks are always above placenta level though and not remotely regular yet. This is my first but people have said I'll start to feel more and more as time goes on!

First started feeling it at 19 and a half weeks, but only when I'd been lying still for ages. 22 weeks now and feeling much more movement!

I'm glad I came across this thread as I'm 15 weeks pg with #2 and not felt anything yet, was starting to worry.

I felt bubbles around 15 weeks and first nudge/mini-kick around 19 weeks. I'm 22 weeks now and feel movements pretty often - especially after I eat or when I'm lying on my side - but no regular pattern yet.... Up until this week most of the noticeable kicks were fairly low down but now seem to be floating up higher on my sides. Grin
