First baby first movements

I'm 19+3 with my first and wondering about feeling movements. I was sure I felt something (bubbles in my stomach whilst I was driving 3 times about 10 minutes apart) over a week ago now, but nothing since...

I know it can take longer with your first but I'm just a bit concerned as I felt them, then nothing in nearly two weeks?! Has anyone else had this?

I'm 28+3 with my first. I didnt really start feeling distinctive movement until about week 21, now he has w regular dance party every morning and evening

I’m currently 26 weeks and like you I thought I felt something around 19ish weeks, just a few really small flutters but then I had nothing for around a week or so then they started again. Looking back I know it was defo the baby at 19 weeks but I have an anterior placenta so think the baby then decided to hide behind that for a while. The proper movement and kicking started at 22 weeks for me x

I'm 29 weeks tomorrow and have only just really started feeling regular definite movements in the last few weeks

With my first I felt it around 20 weeks but not regularly until about 22/23. Second time around it was more noticeable around 17 weeks. Time will tell on number three!

This is my third and I only feel movement if I'm drinking a fizzy drink at 14 weeks
