First movements

[MummaHIB]

I'm just 15 weeks and was wondering when everyone felt their baby move? I know it's early days yet but what did it feel like for you? Anything I should look out for?

I was 16 weeks when I first felt baby move. We were at a spa and I drank some really
really cold iced water and felt him move. It was a really weird sensation, totally understand what people mean by the flutter. My advice is not to freak if you don’t feel then routinely as I didn’t get any sort of pattern until about 29/30 weeks.

I haven’t felt anything until almost 20weeks and the midwife has advised this was absolutely normal.

At about 19 weeks I felt a bubble sensation like gas but it was more where my uterus was. It became a bit more frequent and then slowly turned into gentle kicks/nudges by 22weeks. 22-29weeks were gentle kicks that got stronger. 29+ I noticed more of a pattern, whereas before there would be the odd quiet day.

I only started feeling baby last week at almost 23 weeks. But it went from 0 to 100 in a few days and I can now feel the kicks on the outside (despite being quite a bit overweight). I also have an anterior placenta which numbs the sensations.

In terms of what I felt like, it was like bubbles popping from inside.
