I feel my baby moving now and it’s not what I thought it would feel like

I’ve always heard mothers excited and finding it so cute and feel a massive connection when the baby moves but personally when I feel the little twitches It doesn’t feel special. I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s not strong enough yet or people over exaggerated it. I’ve felt him move since 13 weeks (due to being 18 and I was a size xs before pregnancy and the way my placenta is placed) and the first time I cried my eyes out but after that I only feel little twitches near my hip then have bad cramps. It’s almost annoying. I love love love this baby so much I just don’t understand the reason how people miss this. I’m 15 w 6 days am I too early to feel what others do?!

I had an anterior placenta so I never felt much at all. Definitely no hands and feet popping out, just a fluttering sensation around 22 weeks and then a weird rolling feeling with pushes against my stomach later on. Occasional kicks on my bladder which were fucking painful.

I hated being pregnant, I was uncomfortable in various ways almost the entire time (sweet spot around 24 weeks when the nausea had subsided but the SPD and general discomfort hadn't ramped up yet).

I definitely felt my 2nd from 13 weeks, feels like bubbles or fluttering at first.

I didn't really enjoy the full on tumbling around I must say - or the digging feet into your ribs in 3rd trimester!

There is no way you have to feel, loads of women don't enjoy being pregnant but of course love their baby.
I was really excited to get a bump first time but when I did I really hated it!
