when was the first time you felt baby move even just on the inside?

With my first DC it was about 16 weeks
With my 2nd much later about 23 weeks (apparently because I had an anterior placenta)
With my 3rd around 18 weeks

NO.1 - 20 weeks
NO. 2 - 18 weeks

thismeansnothing · 07/11/2018 21:55

No 1. - 16 weeks
No 2. - 20/21 weeks (anterior placenta this time so any movement is really low and in my hips)

Angelmiracle · 07/11/2018 21:57

DC1 18 weeks
DC2 13 weeks

DC1 - 14 weeks, but took until around 17 weeks for me to be certain that's what it was.

DC2- 16 weeks, anterior placenta this time.

I'm now 27 weeks and DH still can't feel movement on the outside.

CobaltRose96 · 07/11/2018 22:02

I'm 22+4 with first baby and have an anterior placenta. I've only started feeling undeniable baby movements in the past few days.

Notquiteagandt · 07/11/2018 22:08

13w flutters unsure 16w certain they where flutters then around 18w for proper kicks 20w from outside

1st baby anterior placenta so wasnt sure what i was feeling as all new. But as got stronger i knew was baby.

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 07/11/2018 22:11

DC1- 17 weeks, but not regularly until about 20 weeks
DC2- 13/14 weeks (much earlier than I thought was possible)

I had/have a posterior placenta both times so movements were very obvious.

tessiegirl · 07/11/2018 22:11

17 weeks

humawOo · 07/11/2018 23:32

1st baby around 24 weeks and the same with second xx

TryingToStayRational · 07/11/2018 23:42

About 20 weeks but wasn’t really regular and distinct til about 24-25. Even at 37 weeks I can sometimes see movements but not feel them, which is a bit freaky!

Wordie · 08/11/2018 12:36

Tiny flickers at around 14 weeks, nothing for a couple of weeks. I’m 19 weeks now and although not very strong, I’ve got frequent more obvious movements. I seem to be able to feel it more when I’m sat in a chair/driving.

SilverbytheSea · 08/11/2018 12:42

First baby around 19/20weeks
This time round about 16 weeks.

Muffin17 · 08/11/2018 12:46

No 1 18 weeks first kick, but then not again until 21 weeks.

No 2 18 weeks

Muffin17 · 08/11/2018 12:47

Oh and first baby rarely moved throughout pregnancy, 2nd pregnancy the baby moves loads

TheArtfulScreamer · 08/11/2018 13:14

19 weeks for me, currently 21 weeks and i feel it daily.

Daisy2990 · 08/11/2018 18:32

First 16 weeks

Second 20 weeks -- posterior placenta, so I'm not sure why it's so much later.

worriedgem · 08/11/2018 19:53

About 16 weeks.

mrsed1987 · 08/11/2018 21:19

21 weeks x

Starrygirl12 · 08/11/2018 22:10

Literally last night 19 weeks but it was more just like jabs so not fully feeling it yet!

I've been told my placenta could cushion movements but anything up to 24 weeks is normal for first time mums!

Cattenberg · 08/11/2018 22:17

I had an anterior placenta and felt an unmistakable flutter at exactly 21 weeks.

At 27 weeks, I had to go into hospital for monitoring due to reduced fetal movement. The monitor picked up several times more movements than I was aware of.

jaychops · 08/11/2018 22:25

14 weeks for both. DH felt on outside at 16 weeks, again for both.

fiadhflower · 09/11/2018 03:36

I have an anterior placenta and began feeling definite movements until about 21 weeks. Before that I had some funny, but I wasn’t sure. Pretty much as soon as I could feel them, my husband was also able to feel them on the outside. And currently the baby has me awake with all their moving around!

Cakeandslippers · 09/11/2018 12:32

I also have an anterior placenta (first pregnancy) and felt what I thought might be movement at about 20 weeks (in hindsight it was) but nothing I was certain of until about 22/23 weeks.

Frankswife87 · 09/11/2018 12:45

1st DC I was 18 weeks and can remember it exactly! My DH had took me out for a romantic meal, right in the middle of said meal I felt a right kick and from then on dc never stopped beating me up , can't remember with DC 2 .
