I’m currently 22 weeks, but haven’t felt any movements yet. It is my first pregnancy.. I have a posterior placenta so thought I would have felt some movement by now? Anyone else’s experiences would be great 😊

Bang on week 16 for me, but I know that's early. The NHS says anything between 16-24 weeks is normal

The tiniest of flutters at about 15 weeks while I was lying down on my back, then nothing more until about 19 weeks.

16 weeks for me as well though maybe like once a day then. Not more regular until about 18 x

I think around 20 weeks, can't quite remember. It should be fairly soon :)

About 22 weeks. They are very subtle at first though and very easy to miss.

About 16 weeks for me. It's really easy to assume it's something else though at first as it just feels like bubbles in your belly 😊

It was 17 weeks for me and it was because myself and DH were on a spa day and we went for treatments before lunch and there was ice cold water after the treatments, so when I had the water it made the baby move and I felt him for the first time. Currently writing this watching my wee darling 6 month old in his cot. For the record though movements before I think 28-30 weeks are so ad hoc x

16 weeks. It felt like a butterfly flutter. I thought it was indigestion at first

18 weeks, but they are easy to miss until they get quite a bit bigger. It felt like a small goldfish swimming inside me. Proper wriggles and kicks wouldn't be felt until probably 6-8 weeks later.
