I'm only 14 weeks so a bit of a way off but starting to think about first movements. Will I be able to tell it's the baby moving? What does it feel like?? Want to know what to expect...

Hi OP. I was getting like bubbles popping from 13 weeks (ish) and then at 18 weeks I started feeling slight pressure and what I can only describe as like something was stuck.
I got a proper kick a couple of days later and it was like someone had flicked my skin from the inside. It doesn't hurt at this stage as they are too tiny to give you serious grief.
My baby boy is a proper wriggler and keeps me on my toes most days (nearly 23 weeks).
Don't worry too much if you don't feel anything by 20 weeks, a lot of women don't feel anything until past 24 weeks.

I didn't feel anything at all until over 22 weeks and, even then, I questioned whether it was actually baby or not for a few days.
I'm 29 weeks now and there's no mistaking it.

It felt a bit like a muscle twitch, then over days kicks came and that gave me a clue what I was feeling.

I felt little flutters at about 14 weeks. It was literally flutter like a little tickle almost. I always remember my first proper kick. I was at work leaning over a patients mouth and shot up from my nurses chair because it scared me 🙃

When the kicks start coming you definitely can feel baby having a little wiggle. I miss it very much. I used to love watching DS twist and turn and kick me

With my first i was 16 weeks, my second was somewhere between 12 and 13 weeks.
