I'm 18 weeks with number 4, but it's been 5 yrs since my last one so not sure if I've just forgotten! Blush
I don't seem to feel anything yet, maybe a flicker or two but I'm not 100% sure. I'm got a fair bit of fat on my tummy now so not sure if that's muffling any wriggles!

19.3 here and not felt anything definite, occasionally feel rolling sensation and bubbles popping if I lie really still but nothing like proper movement or kicks yet.

I've been driving myself crazy about it but having decided the bubbly feeling is baby I'm keeping relatively calm.

About 22-23 weeks both times, good stomach muscles according to MW, tbf neither did loads of moving, so much so I ended up at the hospital with 1st on a trace as I was determined she wasn't moving-far more relaxed 2nd time round-you should be an old hand for the 4th Wink

Maybe 14/15 weeks with 3 of mine but my DC4 was the only one with an anterior placenta and I felt him around 18/19 weeks. I knew my placenta was anterior before I had my 20 week scan because of this.

I started to feel flutterings around 14 weeks, I think, but I was/am quite slim - I don't know if that makes a difference.

You'd think so! It's just been so long I seem to forgotten everything! Grin

After 20 weeks scan is the only part I remember. (He's 18m now). He was flipping about and kicking during scan but I couldn't feel anything

I'm 20 weeks with number 2.

First felt it around 15 weeks but that was a one off, it's only been the last 2-3 weeks that I've felt baby regularly, more of the flippy rollercoaster feeling than definite kicks. I think I have the placenta at the front (again) as all the movement feels aimed downwards.

I'm 15 + 6 and thought i felt something about a week or so ago, but then nothing of exception to note since then, so have now been wondering if it was just gas, but it really didn't feel like gas! This is my 3rd baby after a 12 year gap. Hoping that i start to feel movement in the coming weeks. I have a gender scan next week, so providing baby still has a hearbeat and is all ok, i will try not to fret too much. Maybe i have a placenta at the front too.

Dd1 about 16 weeks (I think, it was a while ago), dd2 15 weeks. I was as thin as a rake so that helped I think.

I'm 16 weeks with dc3 now and have felt a few things that could maybe be baby or maybe be wind.

SharkBastard · 03/01/2017 07:25

20 weeks with first pregnancy, 14 weeks with this pregnancy (24 weeks now) and I'm a fat biffa.

I felt the baby rolling at 14 weeks, proper kicks at 18 weeks

Ohyesiam · 03/01/2017 07:46

20 weeks with first, earlier with second, but can't say exactly when.

RasperryInAMelon · 03/01/2017 08:28

20 weeks tomorrow and nothing yet. Not ideal when you suffer with anxiety, scan on Thursday though so fingers crossed all is ok!

NeedMoreSleepOrSugar · 03/01/2017 09:23

20 weeks with dc1. I remember worrying as it seemed ages!

Funnyface1 · 03/01/2017 10:50

20 weeks with my first, 15 weeks with my second. Placenta was in the way first time round though.

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 03/01/2017 11:01

Well past 20 weeks for me - even with twins!

roses2 · 03/01/2017 11:02

16 weeks for my first and at 10 weeks with my second.

I am very slim. It was definitely movement not gas!

Parney · 03/01/2017 11:30

19 weeks and could be felt by DH at 23 weeks. I had an anterior placenta which absorbed a lot of the movements and was so worrying near the end but all is well and DS is now three weeks.

butterfliesandzebras · 03/01/2017 11:35

Also anterior placenta here and only definitely felt movements from 24 weeks (the were a few possible 'flutterings' before), around 30 weeks they seemed to get stronger.
