When did you feel your first movement??

[brunette&bubs]

This is my first baby and I'm relatively petite.
I'm wondering when you felt your first quickening or kicks with your FIRST baby.
What did it feel like and how did you know it was movement???

With DS, his 1st movements felt like little flutters or like little taps from the inside. Some women say it feels more like popcorn popping, though...just depends. This baby's early movements felt like gas bubbles at times and sometimes flutters.

I felt first "wiggles" as I describe them around 19.5 weeks. I am petite too but have anterior placenta

14 weeks with my son. 12/13 weeks with this LO.

I thought I did at 14 weeks, but wasn't sure. I can only describe it as being a similar sensation as a heartbeat type thing...very hard to describe. Then at 15 weeks, felt this "twitch...twitch...twitch" sensation low down and to the left and just knew it was LO.

First baby, anterior placenta and obese.

I first felt flutters at around 14 weeks and I felt my first kick at 17 weeks (inside and outside). I have a posterior placenta and I was a US size 6/8 pre-pregnancy.

I've felt butterflies from about 16 weeks, wasn't sure or not if it was bubs. At 18 weeks felt popping sensation that I knew was bubs! In the last few weeks I've been feeling little taps, my little man is def getting stronger!

15/16 weeks

I felt the first movements that I was sure were the baby at 17 weeks. Felt like little pops.

Hi, I am 21 weeks and this is my first and still have felt NOTHING!

 

[MilosMommy7]

with my son i think it was like 14/15 weeks when i started to feel weird flutters.

 

[peonies]

I'm quite skinny and been getting weird squirmy feelings for the past few weeks, but I wasn't sure if those were LO. The last few days I've been having pops/taps which I'm fairly certain are kicks. I'm 19+2 (ticker is wrong!).

I read that being skinny means you might feel them earlier, unless you have a really toned tummy/strong stomach muscles. For once I am glad I could never be bothered with sit-ups!

With my first I first felt fluttery movements at 19 weeks, I found my old pregnancy diary the other day where i'd written it all down.
This time I've been feeling weird gas like feelings sometimes but not sure, could just be wind, Feels like low down bubbly shuffling...i hope it is bubs!

 

[EmzyJA]

this is my first and i started feeling movements at 14 and a half weeks. now i feel movements and taps but am waiting for a proper kick x

 

[kiraelliott]

Probably 14 weeks but because i'd never had them before I couldn't compare them to anything so I wasn't 100%! Pretty darn sure I even felt something at 12 weeks although people would give me odd looks for saying that. I'm in week 18 now and 2 days ago felt my first proper kicks that couldn't be passed off for anything else... mainly because they scared the life out'a me lol xx

 

[Butterfly2]

this is my first and felt movement at 21wks. feels like bubbles popping against the inside of my tummy, and very light tapping xx

 

[mariposa31]

I felt a gentle tickle maybe twice at 13 weeks but was not sure although it was exactly in the same place both times. now last night (nearly 15 weeks now), when I went to bed, I was on my left side and I'm sure I felt something slightly pushing out, I don't know how to explain it, but I wanted to wake my partner up and tell him because I just knew!

I started to feel flutters at 15 week, then this week i've felt a few little hard kicks while in the bath, but in the baths the only time baby seems to kick lol. but i can feel faint movement alot.

 

[dax]

flutters down near my bladder at 14 weeks, which I wasn't sure about and then started to get little taps from 15 weeks onwards. Now I have much stronger kicks and have started to be able to feel them on the outside since last week. Very exciting!

 

[nanitchi]

I'm exactly 16wks today and haven't felt anything.. might have felt something but I wouldn't know what it's supposed to feel like- so nothing def for me yet!
