Earliest you felt movement in your first pregnancy?

Just that reality. I'm being incredibly impatient and just wondering when the earliest possible time is that I might start to feel movement. I'm currently 13 weeks. Thought I felt something the other day but well aware it was probably wind.

So, when was the earliest you felt movement?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I felt a little nudge like a bubble bursting at 16 weeks and then on and off but nothing frequent until about 19 weeks. I am now 21+5 and feeling lots of wriggles. DH felt the baby last night for the first time too! It's lovely :-) Congratulations on your pregnancy!

THEworrywart HA! they will have you sussed already

I certainly think the early days you get a lot of wind and that can be confused with movement, but I found second time round I could feel definite movement a lot earlier.

This time baby seems quieter, but even though I have had 3 scans already (i'm 19+3) I haven't actually remembered to ask the position of the placenta!

I have another scan next week so may ask then (if I remember)

My mum an dad know I had to tell them I live with them still I think my sisters onto it really only need to keep it a secret till after my scan tomorrow (providing it's all well)

The second time (and so on) you do/it's been found to feel movements earlier. This is my first pregnancy.

Ahh good luck for tomorrow!!

Not listening worrywart!

It WAS my baby moving, it was, it was!!!

14 weeks with first, quite definite kicks from the outset. Later with the other two I think.

worldgonecrazy · 25/02/2015 13:47

I felt very early, about 13 weeks IIRC. However, DD started life as a twin so she was tucked up tight in a corner and therefore easier to feel. She was a very active baby right through the pregnancy.

Thank you number3

lastonedancing I believe you it deffo was.

20 weeks, a few days after the scan. Felt like bubbles surfacing in thick custard.

twomorecats · 25/02/2015 21:02

I'm 19 weeks with my first and think I can feel it. So difficult to know though!

FeelTheNoise · 25/02/2015 21:54

17 weeks, and I absolutely cannot wait to feel this one kick

Alisvolatpropiis · 26/02/2015 18:22

I'm 24+4 with my first. Didn't feel anything I could say with cofidence was movement before I was 19 weeks. It's only been in the last few days I've been able to feel movement externally too.

According to the scans I've had the baby is a right little mover though

lunalovegood84 · 26/02/2015 18:29

I was 14-15 weeks when I started feeling movements. Got a proper thump at 19 weeks.
