When did you first feel baby movements in first pregnancy??

[pearlsandpetals]

Hi everyone, just wondering when you all felt your baby move for the first time with your first pregnancy? I'm currently 15 weeks and just wondering when I can expect to feel my baby moving.

About 16 weeks. It felt like little butterflies!

I think I may have felt some flutters around week 16 but definite movement not felt until week 20. I do not have an anterior placenta but do have a spare tyre.

I felt definite movements at 20weeks, looking back they probably started about 18weeks but I wasn't certain it was baby until 20!

16 weeks, but only because I was laying on my front when it happened.

I had little 'tickles' at about 18 weeks, then what felt like tiny flops at 19 weeks, and then bang on 20 weeks I felt like she punched me in the gut! Like pp, that was the first time I could be sure it was baby movement.

16 weeks! Felt like a fish flip flopping!

felt some movements this week at 15+4 - but this is my third!

It can be anywhere from 16-24 weeks. Usually 20 weeks or after for first time mums as they are not sure what they are looking out for.

My midwife advised me if I haven’t felt anything by 24 weeks, that was the time to get in touch and say so

I’m a first time mum at 21+6 with an anterior placenta (that I only found out about at 20 week scan) and I think I’ve only just started to feel movements in last day or two. But still I’m not so sure. I was also advised by the sonographer that an anterior placenta acts as a cushion, so I may not feel anything for the next couple of weeks.

In a nutshell it varies depending on the woman, pregnancy etc but could be anything from now until 24 weeks :)

It was more 22/23 weeks for me, with twins. Both anterior placentas. Another couple of weeks and I felt movements easier. Oh I miss that feeling

16 weeks

First 22 weeks second 15 weeks

I was 16+6. I was at the hairdressers and as I leaned back to have my hair washed I felt what felt like a little bubble popping on my lower abdomen and felt it occasionally after that. I don't think I felt proper kicks until around 20 weeks. My gorgeous boy is 3 months old now and I adore him but I really miss him being inside of me. For most of the third trimester he had his foot stuck under my ribcage and would kick me in the ribs and I would end up shouting expletives, but I loved feeling him moving inside me, I feel sad that the feeling is gone in a way.

About 22 weeks with the first and 16 weeks with the second.

It wasn’t really flutters…more like popping a bit like gas if I’m honest

16 weeks.

18/19 weeks flutters/popping, and now I’m 22 weeks definitely flips and gentle kicks! No feet showing but last night was my first huge somersault in there!

15 weeks. Slightly later in other pregnancies but I was fatter then.

First pregnancy not until 24 weeks! This pregnancy flutters at 15/16 weeks and definite kicks at around 17/18 weeks !

17 weeks little flutters with DS1. Most precious feeling in the world!

17+6 I felt a bubbling sensation for a few seconds, then nothing until 18+5 when I started feeling definite kicks from the outside. I'm now 20 weeks & feel some movements every day but no particular pattern. Most of the time it feels like swooshes. Usually when I'm lying in bed at night baby decides to wake up & do some flips!

About 20 weeks, such a magical moment.

Oh and funnily enough I posted this exact same questions a few weeks ago 😁
