movement

[kmaxi]

Hi... im just wondering at what week do you start feeling baby move or get butterflies x

I was late and it was 20 weeks. I didn't show until after that.
My friend felt hers from 8, but showed very early.
Maybe it depends on how the baby is 'sitting' iyswim?

Cortana at 8 weeks, the embryo doesn't have proper limbs and is tiny. I doubt your friend felt movement then.

The internet seems to paint a picture of movement far earlier than what midwives say is the norm in my experience.

I started feeling about 16 weeks. Tiny flutters. Apparently that's early for a 1st - most people it's 17-18. But not to worry till after 22.

You're probably right, I didn't google when she told me though, just smiled and said 'That's lovely'

19 weeks

17 weeks on first pregnancy
18 weeks on second pregnancy
This time, I felt definite movement at 15-16 weeks and then nothing until 20 weeks. (Went to get checked out at 18)

Almost 23w now and very regular (literally being kicked as I type) movement.

I'm 21 weeks and only felt first definite movement this week, before then maybe one or two feelings that could have been wind :-/ a few weeks ago.

I started feeling movements around late 16/early 17 weeks. I was expecting light flutters but it's more of a turning over sensation. I'm now 19 weeks and have had strong kicks and punches for over a week with a few roly polys a day for good measure.

I'm 18 weeks on my 2nd & have been feeling proper kicks for the last week

It varies from woman to woman....i had very tight stomach muscles from my job and always being genraly fit and slim so felt our lil man from 13wks. I told the midwife and even she said it was the baby from where i shown her i was feeling little flutters. Plus i could be able to tell the differncs between wind lol and it was really low down. As weeks went on they got more stronger and prminent :) x

Fluttering at 17 weeks which has gradually developed into prods (in the bladder and cervix!) and spasm-like movements which can sometimes be felt externally. I'm 21 weeks tomorrow.

I've just started feeling the odd flutter, first ones about a week ago at 16 weeks. Couple of nights ago, I woke up at 1am to what felt like a bag of popcorn going off in my belly. It was hard to distinguish between the movement and gas at first but I've got use to it now.

Vaseline Yes... why oh why do they learn to kick/push properly right on the old wee-bag? Wince!
