Hi ladiesss,
What's the earliest that we start feeling kicks?

And how do I distinguish stomach grumbles or kicks?

It's my first [hopefully viable] pregnancy

I started about 22 weeks (now 23+4)
I was worried it was so late
But what I would say is when I first felt it I had no trouble distinguishing what it might be. It was very obvious and probably twice a day for first few days.
Last 3 days its been every few hours or so which is exciting!

I've been so worried about this as I had nothing I could distinguish from digestion! Zero. But at about 17 weeks on the dot I felt something that was def different. Now at 18 almost 19 weeks feeling it mostly late afternoon or evening when watching the tellie with my hand on my tummy. DH absolutely can't feel anything yet though! I wouldn't describe it as flutters or pops at all but literally like tiny pokes on the inside like... poking your finger into a balloon? Or if you were to gently knock on a trampoline? Lol. It's in different places, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes really low down and occasionally more in the middle toward belly button.

First pregnancy, felt first movements around 15-16 weeks. Definite flutters. Posterior plac

I first felt a bubbling sensation just before 18 weeks then definite kicks the week after. Since then I've had movement everyday, usually little thumps, sometimes swishes & occasionally hard kicks which are quite uncomfortable 😂

It's a very different sensation to gas bubbles, hard to describe but I'm used to gas whereas this was something completely new.

I started feeling them about 19 weeks. They felt like twinges for me. The best way to describe was a very tiny, very quick almost cramp. I was probably feeling them a little bit before I realised these feelings were a bit coincidental in when they happened (as we went over bumpy bits of road and then we tested it out with DH blowing raspberries on my stomach). Now 22 weeks, they’re a bit more definite. Now they feel like little kicks but I’ve also had the bubbles and the feelings of when your stomach drops (but they’re only a tiny drop). I’ve not worked out a pattern yet, other than bumpy roads usually gets them moving.
