I'm only 11 weeks so I know it won't be for a while yet, but when you were pregnant with your first baby, how many weeks were you when you felt them move for the first time?

Felt flutters at 15 weeks, but could tell they were definite kicks at 18 weeks.

About 22 weeks but I had an anterior placenta which probably muffled it for a while.

Flutters at 12 weeks (had never felt anything like it before and just 'knew') and then they developed into more pronounced kicks at 19 weeks.

21 weeks now and he's having a right old fidget in there!

Started feeling very light flutters at about 18 weeks but very sporadic, started increasing at about 20 weeks and have been feeling definite strong kicks/movement since about 22 weeks. I also have a anterior placenta which as pp said can muffle movements a bit early on.

Didn't feel anything definite until around 21 weeks, and even then the movements were only small. Started getting proper kicks at around 25/26 weeks.

First baby from 16 weeks, second from 14 weeks. Congratulations Op Flowers

I'm 18 + 1 and nothing still but I do have an anterior placenta, I'm sure I will feel them soon enough Smile

About 22 weeks, 23 before i knew for sure it was baby kicks. I have a high anterior placenta and its my first baby

How do people know the placement of their placenta before the 20 week scan? I'm confused!

Mine was checked at my 12 week scan. I wasn't in the UK for it but not sure that makes any difference.

I had an anterior placenta with my 1st so it was around 22 weeks

RrreCansada · 08/08/2018 21:34

I never felt anything, or wasn't paying attention maybe? I saw my tummy move at 7 months though.

ReginaPhalange89 · 08/08/2018 21:49

You never felt anything the full 9 months ? 🤔
