First Time Mums and mums

When did you first start to feel your baby kick? I'm currently 18 weeks and 2 days. I'm unsure if it's baby or gas

I’m 31 weeks now but at 16ish weeks I started to get little popcorn feelings. Was convinced it was just wind but actually over the next few weeks it deffo became obvious that it was actually little kicks!

Around 15/16 weeks I had the bubbles/flopping fish sensations that began as a ‘was it/wasn’t it’ but now at 18+ and there’s no second guessing the flops and rollovers! x

Not til week 22 ish. My placenta is at the back so technically I should have felt them sooner, but I didn't til around then!

At around 18 weeks I started to feel a twitch/ pulse in my tummy which turned into kicks.

I had a popping feeling while in the shower every day for a week while at about 16/17 weeks! Didn't really feel anything after that until about 21 weeks when it was unmistakable but I might just have missed it as at first for me it was just a squirmy feeling for want of a better impression!
