First movements?

When did you feel the first flutters/movements?

17 weeks now, was sure I felt a few around 15 weeks, not so much now. This is my third pregnancy.

I can feel my uterus changing position throughout the day though which is a very odd feeling!

Hi. I was similar to you, felt odd twinges at around 15 weeks and hoped it would get more frequent but it tailed off and I didn’t really feel anything until I was about 20/21 weeks. Turned out I have an anterior placenta so it was cushioning some of the movement. X

18+5 first movements.

Now 22+3 and lying in bed (lazy Christmas Eve 😁) feeling his strong little kicks ♥️

Was probably 19/20 weeks when I knew for sure it was baby not gas! 😂

I told the midwife at 16 weeks that I was either feeling flutters or had wind.
By 20 weeks I had definite movement and I have an anterior placenta.

I’m 17 weeks just feeling occasional flutters can go a couple of days without, hopeing to get some strong movement soon ! X

I started feeling movements around 19w. I always felt them more as muscle twitches rather than flutters. I did also have an anterior placenta.

I am 13w 4d with baby number 2 and i am sure i've felt the odd random little flutter. but cant be sure its not a fart gone astray....

I'm 20 weeks and think I'm feeling them, they're almost uncomfortable though. Like my stomach is flipping over Confused

I’m 17 weeks right now with my second and have an anterior placenta this time. I’m definitely feeling little movements now. Feels a little bit like muscle twitches sometimes and others feels a little bit like it’s ‘rolling’ - that’s the best way I can describe it.

First pregnancy was 18-19 weeks.
Second pregnancy 16-17 weeks.

I'm 19 weeks with no.2. Have been feeling flutters since 16 weeks but nothing concrete. If I really concentrate I can feel him/her. Looking forward to feeling more obvious movements so I can stop worrying about that at least!!!

momoa80 · 27/12/2018 10:59

I'm in the same boat! 19weeks and feeling odd little movements but that light I wonder if it is baby or just wind haha...roll on feeling more definite wiggles!

gimmeadoughnut123 · 27/12/2018 13:15

I'm 15 weeks and can feel little flutters every now and again, must be when baby is going mad. I felt it before my scan and sure enough they were rolling around and kicking during the scan. But it's not constant.
Hoping I can feel them more regularly in the next month :)

Noodella18 · 27/12/2018 23:33

Started feeling things around 16 weeks but wasn’t sure if it was just wind, very definite kicks from between 17 and 18 weeks, and also rolls which are weird but I really like them!

Scottay · 28/12/2018 19:18

I'm definitely feeling the baby moving about but struggling to tell the difference between a kick and just a movement Confused
