First baby move

Hi ladies, when did you first feel your baby move with your first pregnancy ? I am almost 17w and today I honestly felt like tickly feeling where the baby located. It only lasted for 2-3 seconds and then I felt nothing since this morning. How did your first baby movement feel like and after the first movement when did you feel your second etc ? Many thanks

I felt mine around 18 weeks, it felt almost like a muscle twitch low down in my abdomen, almost like three little twitches/taps. I think it was a few days later before I felt anything else, and I wasn't feeling definite movements until about 20-21 weeks, but I have an anterior placenta, which means you feel movement later.

Around 18 weeks I felt a fluttery feeling but couldn't honestly tell if it was baby or gas. Around 21 weeks I felt the first definite kicks.

About 17 weeks for me too, tickly feeling under the skin

I felt mine at 12 weeks. It was like a soft stroking motion.

16 weeks - like a eye twitch but in my lower abdomen

I felt a fluttery feeling last Friday but not certain it was baby. I'm 17+4 today and definitely felt a kick last night and some more movements today.

19 + 5 here and I felt my lil babba for the first time yesterday and clearly its not one to do things by halves - it did what felt like a full somersault.

I almost shit my pants.

It is odd aint it?

How exciting :-) I bet it amazing to feel your baby move for the first time. I am hoping I will feel more tickles soon :-) thanks everyone x

About 22 weeks for definite. Anterior placenta though. I think a few tickles before that, but I wasn't sure.
