Feeling baby move - 18 weeks

Hey, I'm just over 18 weeks with my first baby. I started to feel some flutters about 10 days ago, and now I think I feel it move quite a bit. I've had a few kicks but feel flutters/general movement (feels like baby if wiggling around) quite a few times a day.

I keep thinking it seems early to feel so much though so I don't know if I'm going mad and imagining it! Anyone else had quite a bit of movement at this stage?

I wish! I'm 18 weeks today and nothing yet. Dying to feel some movement

I'm 17+5 weeks but have been feeling movements since about 16 weeks! Also my first baby. Started off feeling like "bubbles" or actual butterflies, I'm now starting to feel her roll around but still very gentle movements, only notice them when I'm not doing anything! At my midwife appointment she showed me where my uterus is, which has helped me determine whether they're baby movements and gas 😂

@sel2223 I hope you get to feel movements soon 🤞

@CherryCreme haha, it's around the right place I just keep doubting myself so much as I was sure I wouldn't be lucky and feel it so early on.
The midwife wasn't surprised I was feeling the baby when I saw her last week, looking forward to some more firm kicks so I know I'm not making it up!

@baby00 when I was pregnant with my son my husband could feel the baby moving at around 18/19 weeks so I don't think it's that's early to be feeling movement?

I'm 20+4 and started feeling subtle movements around 18 weeks. At around the late 19 week mark, they turned into proper little kicks. And now a few times a day I'll get big kicks. It progresses really quickly! So you've not got long before you feel full blown kicks Smile

I don't think it's too early, my husband felt both our babies at 19 weeks. I would say you're deffo feeling it!

I started feeling movements in 17 weeks I am 19 weeks now and definitely feeling stronger movements xx
