First pregnancy - when did you feel the baby move?

[Archie1982]

Morning all.

I’m 17 weeks along and in the last few days I think I had felt some light movement....not 100% sure though - and whether I’m imagining it!!

This is my first, so I’m aware that might be a bit early.

When did you feel movement for the first time and what did it feel like?

Week 19, similar to little bubbles or butterfly wings. I'm telling this to reassure you as I was so worried and spending all time googling!

Bang on 19 weeks

17 weeks, felt like tiny little nerve twitches in my stomach.

Currently pregnant with first, at 18 weeks I was in your position, thinking I was feeling little flutters but not sure, by 20 weeks I was sure it was definitely movement

14 weeks. He was a VERY kicky baby though! Never bloomin stopped.

About 17 or 18 weeks... though I felt it earlier without realising what it was at the time- felt like tummy rumbling!

Flutters/bubbles around 18 weeks for me and definate movements/kicks at 20/21 weeks. Everyone is different though.

17 weeks with my first, 14 weeks with my second and we’ll see what happens with my third!

My first definite kick was during my 20 week scan when the probe got booted a few times - ow!

I think I felt baby move last night. Very weird sensation. I'm 18w 6 days and it's my first.

21 weeks for me

17 weeks. I found out at the 20 week scan that my placenta is at the back which is why I can feel so much movement.

Pregnant with my first. Felt bubbles from about 17 weeks and just started feeling proper kicks ay 20+4

I was 18/19 weeks when I properly felt a kick. It was like a massive muscle spasm lol it’s really hard to explain until you know!
When it happens you’ll definitely know :) x

15 weeks. Extremely active baby.

24 weeks here but im chubby :)

I'm 19 weeks and have yet to feel the baby. I had an early sex scan which showed that I have an anterior placenta do movement will probably take longer to feel. I can't wait to feel the baby move though! I'm becoming quite impatient!

Hardly at all the whole pregnancy due to anterior placenta being in a position to almost entirely mask every single movement.

19 weeks and with an anterior placenta

Around 12 weeks. DD was an extraordinarily active baby, right from the start. I was skinny though, not sure if it makes a difference. Midwife at my 12 week scan didn't believe I could feel movement until I correctly told her when the baby moved, & she could see it on the screen. It was a mixed blessing, towards the end - I just wanted to sleep & DD had other ideas. DD is still like the duracell bunny... and she's big, with very long legs.

19 weeks to the day :-)

I was 19 Weeks couldn't believe it as am a size 16 and wasn't expecting it. Now am 24+5 and she doesn't stop moving.
Bet you can't wait it's the most amazing feeling. Good luck and congratulations

First felt popcorn like feelings at 16 weeks. That's gradually grown stronger and now at 22+6 weeks it's definite kicks and punches pretty much all day! DH felt the baby move for the first time last night, and yesterday I could see baby moving in my belly too!

14 weeks - thought it was wind as it felt like bubbles but I went to the toilet, it continued over night, then again the next night and the next. The sonographers I had at my 12 and 20 week scans told me the baby was very active. I now randomly get kicks/punches that hurt at 25 weeks.

16 weeks for me with 1st baby. I wasn't 100% sure that I was feeling the baby move until it happened at the midwife used the Doppler on me a few days later. I didn't expect to feel it that soon either.
