Can’t wait to feel my little girl move. I’m 17+4. I thought I felt something a few days ago but it was a one off feeling so maybe something else! This is my first baby ☺️

I continued to have really light occasional fluttery sensations until I was 22+4, when I then felt something every single day! The movements got stronger between I’d say 24-30 weeks, now I’m 35 weeks and it’s more like rolling movements. Not had any kicks to the ribs that take my breath away at all, but still feel (and see) moving from the outside. Think DH felt her move about 23 weeks xx

Thank you! Sounds like I need to be patient - think I've felt very light kicks this morning, but will hold out hope that in a few weeks they will be more noticeable! Good luck with the last few weeks.

Hi, just wondered how this developed for you? When did you start feeling kicks and movements? I'm 19 weeks and think I've felt the odd flutter but it's definitely later than with my son, I felt little kicks before the 20 week scan! Can't wait to feel some movements.

20+3 for the first time, but took another couple of weeks to feel it consistently

Notsonifty50 · 12/06/2024 02:16

I've had two anterior placentas. First one I felt first movement at about 23/24 weeks. Second one was at 21 weeks.

Anothnamechang · 12/06/2024 00:48

I rarely felt my 3rd baby, infact in the week before she was delivered I didn't feel her at all xx

dingdongdoo89 · 12/06/2024 00:21

24 weeks here x

PassMeTheCookies · 11/06/2024 23:34

I felt one kick at around 24 weeks, and then nothing again until 26 weeks when his movements started to become consistent.

TiredMumE · 11/06/2024 23:32

really didn't -whole pregnancy was very strange for no sensations. She's 7 now. She's very kinetic.

MaryMary6589 · 11/06/2024 23:29

29 weeks and then I barely felt him at all til the end. He was absolutely fine.

Second was posterior and felt EVERYTHING from 18 weeks.

WhenSunnyGetsBlue · 11/06/2024 22:18

19 or 20 weeks. Then she never stopped moving

thecatsthecats · 11/06/2024 20:33

About 16 weeks, somehow.

My placenta was anterior and obscenely huge, but my son kicked like a rugby pro. Some babies wriggle and roll more than they kick, and early on there's still plenty of room for both without you feeling anything.

Same, I had anterior placentas with both of mine and felt around 15/16 weeks, I didn’t know it was a thing to not feel them until later on so this thread is an eye opener!

oberst · 11/06/2024 22:01

About 22 weeks

PollyPeep · 11/06/2024 21:55

15 weeks with my first, 11 weeks with my second (!). I'm quite slim and I think that made it easier to feel and see throughout pregnancy. Towards the 30 week mark, the kicks and rolls were clearly visible even though the placenta area.

pinkyspromises · 11/06/2024 21:45

I think around 20-22 weeks

It was swimming first and spicy curry the second timr

Escapaid · 11/06/2024 21:27

18 weeks

FizzyStream · 11/06/2024 20:59

About 19 weeks for me. Then always got kicks to the side / around my ribs!

Specialkp · 11/06/2024 20:54

I actually can’t remember exactly but it was definitely after 19- 20 weeks. Had had a long/difficult journey to parenthood so it was a very anxious time! I didn’t feel her much at all for most of the pregnancy, only when I was in the bath or lying down quietly (did that a lot!). My husband never felt her kick at all, but I only got the opportunity to let him once! Then it all went quiet again towards the end.
I’m just glad I knew early that I had an anterior placenta from a private scan, or I’d have been besides myself…

PrincessHoneysuckle · 11/06/2024 20:48

17 or 18 for me.21 for dh with hand on belly.

Chevybaby · 11/06/2024 20:48

Anterior placenta and didn't feel anything til like 30 weeks! Bonkers. Visited hospital a few times and all vitals were perfect. I actually convinced myself she must just be a really chill zen baby... couldn't have been more wrong 🤣🤣🤣

Newsenmum · 11/06/2024 20:46
