I am 18 weeks pregnant and I wonder when everyone else started to feel the baby kicks? I've felt twinges etc but I want to feel those kicks! Xx

I felt flutters at 17-20 weeks then they started to feel stronger

mrsed1987 · 11/01/2020 22:55

I was 21 weeks, placenta at the front x

23 weeks for me with an anterior placenta

22 weeks first pregnancy, anterior placenta.
Second pregnancy, I could feel them clearly at 16 weeks and my husband could feel them too. Placenta in a different place this time!

Earlier and earlier each pregnancy after

I can't remember with my first. I'm now 14+5 and starting to feel flutters x

I lay on my back and put one of my cuddly toys on my belly to exaggerate the movements. It worked well when dd's movements were too small to be detected other than with an ultrasound, from around 20 weeks.

Anterior placentor 21 weeks felt proper movements but 25 weeks really noticeable kicks

fibeee · 12/01/2020 00:12

Anterior placenta here. Felt a sensation like bubbles popping at 20 weeks and then very light kicks (felt like pokes) at 21 weeks

Willow4987 · 12/01/2020 00:13

About 21 weeks with first pregnancy and about 16 weeks with the second

18weeks 1st time, 20w 2nd time, only 14w 3rd (tiny, tiny flutters) I was amazed to feel so early.

orangejuicer · 12/01/2020 08:23

About 21w anterior placenta. I dreamed the baby was kicking and then I felt him properly the same day.

Cazzy198 · 12/01/2020 14:27

I'm 21+2 weeks and I'm just starting to feel what I think are little kicks. They are in the same place around the same time every day exactly where the scan showed the babys legs so I'm assuming its baby.

I think I felt it earlier TBH but mistook it for gas bubbles as I get bad wind sometimes when I eat dairy 🤣

Marshmallow1992 · 13/01/2020 01:11

Flutters at 19 weeks! Kicks I’m not sure but was later, 24 weeks ish xx

mvilma6 · 13/01/2020 15:01

first baby here and only started to notice movement at 21 weeks. don't know when to expect proper kicks (cant wait) and husband is so jealous he cant feel him yet :)

Rosehip345 · 14/01/2020 01:57

1st 19wks, 2nd 10wks, 3rd 14wks and 4th 23wks

Different for every baby! They feel like tickles to start with

CassandrasCastle · 14/01/2020 09:45

fibeee I was exactly like you, and with the anterior placenta and bubble popping feeling! Now speaking like an old veteran at 26 weeks haha...
