1st baby, when do I start to feel it?

[itsmyfirsteek]

Just that really, I'm 18+2 and haven't felt it yet?

I didnt feel dd moving until I was nearly 20 weeks. I remember because it was a few days before my 20 week scan. Don't worry, you will feel it soon! Just wait until you get those huge kicks to the ribs

I'm no expert (this baby is my first) but from what I've read it depends on a lot of factors. Your weight, whether you have an anterior placenta and the position the baby is lying in all contribute to when you first feel movement.

I'm 16+1 and am pretty sure I felt movement today but I'm not certain. My cousin is more overweight than I am and didn't feel movement until about 22 weeks with her first.

that is fairly early- especially as it may be dependent on where your placenta is- I would be expecting to feel movements in the next four weeks- if you have an anterior placenta (at the front), then it can take longer to feel the movements.

It will happen!

Thought I felt movement at 18 weeks, not regularly but dismissed it I'm now 20weeks and definitely feel it now.

I've been feeling a couple of really faint tickles yesterday and today - like the smallest feather being dragged across the inside of my tummy so not really movement as such. I'm only 14+2 though so don't know if I'm feeling something else, but is definitey different to wind or anything else I've ever felt. Friend who has been pregnant tells me that's exactly what it feels like to start with?

It was about 23 weeks with my first. It felt like butterfly wings.
