Baby movement first pregnancy

[SunshineHope92]

Im just curious to know when people first started to feel movement in their first pregnancy? I’m just over 16 weeks so haven’t expected to feel anything just yet and know everyone is different. I understand this all depends on where your placenta is located with feeling movements earlier if this is at the back. Thanks all 😊

I think I started to feel odd bits of movement around the 19 weeks and I didn't realise that was the baby moving until at the 20 week scan.
I'm pregnant with my second, 18 weeks, and I think I'm starting to feel the odd movement, but still not sure!

21 weeks!

I was about 21/22 weeks

I was at about 21 weeks

@Mummyboy1 oh that’s really reassuring! Did you have a posterior placenta? Congratulations on your second pregnancy 😃

I have an anterior placenta and felt my first movements at just over 19 weeks - but it took until more like 23 to feel them more regularly.

I felt my first at 16 weeks and my second at 15 weeks. I've had to see a placenta specialist and I asked about how come I felt movement so early and such strong movements since my placenta is at the front. She said that it's actually an old wives tale that it reduces how much you feel baby. It's to do with how thick your placenta is and how much fat you have on your stomach.

Only felt movement at about 22-23 weeks, nothing at 16 weeks

Anterior placenta and felt the tiniest of movements from 17 weeks which stayed in the same place until about 24 weeks. Movements only became regular at about 28 weeks and I'm 33 weeks now and only the past month have they become incredibly strong :)
