First flutterings

Hello,
I'm 19+4 weeks and think I might be getting those first movement 'bubbles'. Very exciting but while I'm in the 'is it gas or is it baby' phase I don't want to get too excited and carried away over a bit of trapped wind.
It feels lower down than I expected, and not where I'd usually feel trapped wind but never sure what my body is up to these days. Whereabouts did other ladies first feel those first flutters?

Yes, definitely low down. I’m now 20+3 with my second and have been feeling flutters and nudges for a week or so. This baby is less active than my eldest was at this point, I think I started to feel her much earlier on, but this baby is lying on her side facing into my back so the kicks are all going in the wrong direction. Hopefully she’ll turn a bit soon and I’ll feel more. What I do get is very low down though.

Yes me Grin Im 21 weeks and have def been feeling little pokes or flutterings for around a week.

Mostly to the lower right of my bellybutton/ lower abdomen? Its so exciting!

In both pregnancies, I felt them below my belly button xx

I might have an anterior placenta so might take me longer. :( That was on an early scan though, hoping that she is wrong! I want to feel my baby. Or maybe I'll regret saying that if it turns out to be a kicker.

I felt my first movement just above my hip and low in my belly where my pants come to. I have a low anterior placenta though which could be why it was so low! Now they feel a tad higher more in line with my belly button at 25w. My dh said it was probably gas until I put his hand on them and he felt little pops against his hand one after the other. They got a lot stronger about 22w

I felt my first flutterings, which quickly turned into kicks, at 20 weeks+1 day. Now baby is moving quite often! I had an anterior placent at 14 weeks but it's already moved posterior according to 20 week scan

I roughly started feeling it at the same stage, although for me it wasbt like a flutter feeling at all!!
Every night around 7pm I was in the bath and kept feeling pulses in my belly, because everyone descride it as more of a flutter, it took about a week for me to realise it was definitely the baby's faint kicks 😅😅 it was always roughly the same time and in the bath

I'm 24 weeks and those 'flutterings' are definitely getting stronger and stronger everyday! Smile I thought it was just gas for a long time because it was way lower than I thought it would be! still getting them below the bellybutton though, but such a lovely feeling Smile
