Baby #1 when did you first feel movement/kicks?

[Pinkglitterx]

Hey Everyone!
Im 14+6 weeks pregnant with my first baby, curious to know when did you first feel movement and/or kicks? Also what did they feel like?

Im starting to show, and have occasionally felt hard pressure move towards the front of my abdomen for a few minutes then move away, have also felt little 'flicks' as if someone is flicking me from the inside.. only has happened once or twice. Not sure if this is baby or not as have nothing to compare! xx

this is my first baby and at 12 weeks i started to feel baby's movements but they were only once a day and at the same time everyday.(they happened between 4pm and 9 pm but only once or twice) they felt like soft pops or bubbles. by week 13 it was unmistakable that these were not like gas bubbles because they came in a routine everyday, and no gas followed. they also became more often. by week 16 me and my boyfriend and family were able to see her kicks for the first time beneath my skin. they also felt her for the first time with their hands! baby's kicks started getting strong and made me yelp/jump. they felt like someone pushing or poking from the inside. right now i feel her every hour to two hours and she kicks alot each time but ofcourse baby will have her quiet days like today where she doesn't kick much at all. sonographer said im a really tiny girl and that she found baby is right at the surface so there's no wonder im feeling everything.

In my first pregnancy I don't think I paid much attention tbh But, I knew I felt bubs when I was almost 21 weeks. I was on holiday and oh & I had eaten a lovely, leisurely lunch on a balcony in the sun I'd had my half glass of wine (for the week!) with my lunch. As I was relaxing in the sun I felt two, pretty hard, unmistakable "jabs" in quick succession! They were just to the side of my belly button and felt a bit like someone had poked me from inside with the end of a pencil (the end that sometimes has an eraser on it). After that I felt dd pretty much every day & usually after eating. Really can't have been paying attention before that!!! They were pretty obvious.

I'm now 14 weeks and occasionally feel an odd "swishing" sensation in my lower abdomen. I'm not convinced it's bubs.... But not convinced it's wind either. It's weird!! Can't wait to feel some real kicks!!

This is my first and I started feeling what I considered definite baby movements at about 18 weeks. I'm now 19 weeks, and I feel him at least once a day. The movements are very light and I can't feel them on the outside of my belly yet, but I'm sure that's what they are.

Aww thank you for your replies!!

Im not 100% sure so I guess the further along I get ill know! I just cant wait to start feeling DEFINITE strong movements and kicks!

Catiren That's amazing that you felt baby so strong so early!! It must be an amazing feeling!

K4th I hope we both feel some real kicks soon!!!

Heather - Aww amazing! Hopefully ill start feeling them around the same time then! If not sooner (if that's not what ive been feeling) xx

Hey

I'm 23+4 weeks pregnant and I first started feeling definite baby movement at 17 weeks , which like you explained felt like little flicks but could never tell if it was baby or what was it lol , but since then have got stronger and feel them move a lot and I suppose to explain it they feel like little thuds at the moment at 21 weeks my fiancé felt baby move and at 22 weeks my mum dad and brother have felt too
Is such a unique and amazing feeling isn't it

Take care.

I felt her once at around 17/18 weeks and not again until 21/22 weeks and since then they've been very regular. She's getting stronger by the day. It's a wonderful feeling! I was anxious to feel her when I was at your stage too!

 

[kiwilove]

First baby for me, and I felt her kick at 19 weeks

 

[Pinkglitterx]

Hey Dueinmay!! Aww if that's the case I hope im feeling baby! will only be able to tell when they get stronger.. roll on the next month!! It is amazing indeed! I cannot wait to get to that stage!!

Thank you IC! hopefully will start feeling soon!! aww im very anxious haha! xxx

 

[Pinkglitterx]

This is my first and I think I started having flutters around 13weeks (??) But at the time I wasn't positive that's what it was. It's been sloooooowly getting stronger since then but I still don't feel them very strong and I'm 19 weeks. But I do feel them more definite now, I can tell he difference between movement and gas most of the time. At first it just felt like a rumbling or bubbling inside but lately it feels more like a tap.

 

[babyplease01]

Maybe try sitting and leaning forward, like sit down and put your elbows on your knees. When I was earlier, that was the best position for me. Note comfy than trying to lay on my stomach but the compression made me able to feel the movement much better.

 

[Pinkglitterx]

Ooh thank you! that's pretty much what ive been feeling too. Will definitely try that position thank you! xx

19 weeks movements, 22 weeks kicks

 

[hairftsher]

19 weeks ! Felt like muscle twitches

I first felt him/her two days ago at 17w+5d, then again at 17+6. It was in the centre of my lower tummy and was like a gentle stroke from the inside I haven't felt it again today though. I can't wait for proper kicks!

Hey I think I was around 16/17 weeks and I felt some popping a couple of times, then I had a cold at 18 weeks and after I coughed or sneezed I would feel a little nudge - almost like bubba was saying 'you alright mum?' mostly felt pressure low down though, and still do, bubba has a thing for my bladder and cervix!
About 19-20 I started feeling kicks and rolls and about 24 weeks I started to see the kicks from the outside (spent ages just staring at my belly waiting!!!) i find best position is to lay on my back and concentrate on what I feel in that area - if you have a cold hand placed on your lower abdomen sometimes that gets a kick!!

This is my first and I felt my baby on Christmas Day for the first time at 16+1. I never noticed any really subtle movements that felt like bubbles or pops, the first time I felt anything it was like something moved inside me that's the only way to describe it. I think the baby might have flipped over. I think I felt movement another one or two times that day. Now at 20+2 I feel the baby every day several times and they seem to have a routine although recently it's changed as they seemed to be even more active! My husband could feel the baby from around 17 and a half weeks.

 

[Zephram]

With my first from 13 weeks, this pregnancy from 12 weeks.

I felt the first movement around 19 weeks. I was certain it was our baby at 19+5.
