Feeling movements?

Hi, so I'm 17+2, I feel like I felt something yesterday and today (but only once each day) that felt like a little bubble but not felt it the rest of the day. Just curious when other people started to feel movements did it start off faint then get stronger or was a very definite movement?

Hi, I'm 25 weeks and have been feeling movements from about where you are. They start off a bit fluttery and you think was it wasn't it? Then in a week or so you'll definitely be sure it is, then you'll be obsessed with getting your partner to feel it, and now I can see him kicking and so can my DP from across the room 😂

I felt 'bubbles" around 14 weeks, then every now and again I felt "something" for a few weeks every couple of days, then from about 16/17 weeks I knew it was him moving around, felt him every day from about 18 weeks and my oh felt him at 18+4. Now at 21 weeks I can see him moving! I don't know if you know where your placenta is but mines posterior which is probably why I felt him so early.

I felt the first flutters at 16 weeks. However it was very sporadic, and only every few days. I'd say from about 23 weeks I began to understand the movements properly. Now (26 weeks) I totally get when baby is awake, and can sort of work out which way they're lying. My belly moves a lot as well, it's amazing 🥰

@Vicalam very likely to be early movements! I had feelings like bubbles popping but like you, maybe only once a day and it was so quick that I almost wasn’t even sure I felt it! Then I had feelings as if I was being really lightly tickled, but from inside 😂 it was so odd!! Gradually got stronger and stronger and now is huge kicks and rolls and my full belly moves constantly 😂
