When did you feel baby move?

[MrsHJFL]

Hi guys,

Currently pregnant with my first baby, I'm 18+4 weeks. Everyone keeps asking me if I've felt any movements yet and I don't think I have.
When did you feel your baby for the first time during your first pregnancy and what was it like?

Xx

I'm 20+3, first pregnancy and nothing yet! Found out at my 20 week scan I've got an anterior placenta which can mean you don't feel anything till up to 24 weeks ish.

I was around 19 weeks i they just felt like little pops in my belly. Im 20+4 and last night felt a proper kick xx

I felt tiny movements at 16 weeks that felt like muscle spasms. Started feeling proper movement at about 20 weeks.

16 weeks but that was only if I lay on my back and fully concentrated on it! Even then they were so tiny I could easily miss it if I was busy doing things.

I’m 20 weeks now and for the last week they’ve been getting a little stronger, and noticeable when I’m moving around and busy ☺️

I started to feel the flutters at 16weeks, but really started to feel the kicks properly at 18weeks x

I started feeling movements at about 22 weeks. I thought I felt flutters before that but was never quite 100% sure.

From about 16 weeks I was feeling "flutters", literally felt like butterflies and could easily be mistaken for wind. I'm 20 weeks now and been feeling proper kicks for about a week or so, this is my first pregnancy!

It was after my 20 week scan, I'd say probably about 22 weeks.

I felt my baby move in my 17th week. But everyone is different so don’t worry!😊

19 weeks, anterior placenta. Went straight from nothing to kicks .. no fluttering! X

18+3 with my first. Remember it vividly. My friend didn't feel anything until 23 weeks. Baby was fine :)

I was 21 weeks and even then it was just 1 tiny kick on my palm when I'd been concentrating for ages! You've possibly felt little 'popcorn' feelings and put it down to wind but that'll be baby! I worried loads but please don't, you'll like feel it by week 24 so you have a while yet before there's any cause for concern. I turned 30 weeks yesterday and baby is body popping in there!🥰

I'm 16 weeks and convinced this week I've started to feel something, if I've had a glass of apple juice (my absolute craving) and lie down I'm nearly sure I can feel little one doing spins 😂 could be all in my head but it's a sensation I don't recognise so must be baby related! (this is my first)

Thanks everyone really interesting to hear all your experiences!

When you feel a kick what is it like? Is it like a thud in your belly? Xx

I was about 22 weeks, first pregnancy, size 16 and plecenta at the front.

I felt bubbles at around 18weeks and my first proper kicks the day after my twenty week scan. You have plenty of time. Think about all of that lovely cushioning he/she has around them

Everybody says its like bubbles but i never got that. I have an antieror placenta and only started to feel the baby around 22 weeks, and I don't know where it came from. Suddenly out of nowhere I could feel these huge kicks, even my partner can feels them, and they move my stomach! No idea what happened but ever since then I feel them a lot and hard!

Around 22 weeks xx

I have a high up anterior placenta so wasn't expecting any movement yet but since 19 weeks have had movements most mornings when I wake up and lie in bed and when I lie in bed in the evening. Not full on kicks and probably similar to the flutters people talk about feels very strange!

Around, 18-19 weeks and maybe a few flutters from 16 weeks :)

About 19 weeks. It wasn't much to start with though!
