Hello!
I'm 18+5 on first pregnancy and just wondering when you started to feel your little one move around and also when did you get your bump? x

Bump - very early for me. I was showing at 12 weeks, in maternity trousers at 14 and had a definite bump at 16. I think a lot depends on your body shape though. I first felt movements at 19 weeks, but not consistently - I would feel them some days and not others. Didn't start feeling them daily until about 24 weeks I think. I have an anterior placenta though (you will find out at your scan where yours is) and that can make it harder to feel movement early on.

hi, i'm 20 weeks and do have quite a big bump if i want it to show, but it's still perfectly hide-able, if that makes sense...depending what i wear, i can still either look very pregnant, or not pregnant at all.
i started feeling definite movement around 18-19 weeks (probably nearer 19) and now feel quite a lot of wriggles and kicks, but it's still very erratic. if i'm very busy and out and about i might not feel anything for most of the day and only feel it again when i'm sitting quietly. i love feeling the baby move.

I'm in my first pregnancy and first felt the baby move at about 19 weeks. Now 26 and tend to only feel movements when I'm sitting quietly or lying in bed. As for a bump I was probably about 23 weeks before it was obvious to strangers, though I had one a bit earlier than that. It depends on what clothes I wear - I got some maternity clothes at 25 weeks and suddenly everyone could tell I was pregnant, whereas in normal clothes two weeks before they were very surprised to hear the news!

I started feeling movement at around 18 weeks just barely though.. wasn't even a hundred percent sure it was movement! now at nearly 21 feel it moving quite a lot and seems to get stronger every day no more tiny little butterfly wings.

im 37wks, and was early with, my bump showed about 4 mths, and felt movement around 15wks, just fluttering, but i knew it was her xx

Thanks ladies!
It's interesting to see how varied everyone is! I think I felt something last night- I suppose it's difficult to kow when its only slight and you've never experienced it before! x

I started showing pretty early and was in maternity jeans by 10 weeks, but I could also hide the pregnancy then if I wore leggings or stretchy trousers and a non-maternity top. At first it was a squidgy bump, rather than a proper bump, as baby pushed everything out of her way!

By 16 weeks I had a definite hard bump.

I felt flutters around 15 weeks and kicks around 19 weeks I think.

Am 19 wks and have had a bump since about 14 wks and have been having little fluttering, bubbly feelings since last week, really light at first (I wasn't even sure that it was bean movement) Although last night they were so strong that even DP could feel them!! Its so exciting and v reassuring to feel it dancing around in there Grin

I am now 17 weeks and had a bump since 10 weeks! And this is my first pregnancy!

Start feeling my first baby 'kick' this week although it doesn't feel much like a kick. It feels more like my muscle inside was 'tap' at a few times but i was told that it was a kick.

Only felt it twice since and both time was when I was talking to someone else and never seems to feel it when I am sitting quietly looking for 'kicks'. I am looking forward to more movements!

First baby and size 12/14 before pregnancy. Bump - tummy was swelling out gently from week 10, hard bump by week 16, very noticeably pregnant from week 18. First kick on first day of 19th week. Prior to that, gentle bubbling/fluttering. Now 26 weeks and get full-on kicks and tumbling - like having a very large wriggling guinea pig inside my tummy.
