When did moms start feeling the baby move?

Question

I'm 21 weeks and know our little girl is kicking due to the ultrasound and when we hear her heartbeat.
But *I* haven't felt it yet. I don't feel a goldfish or butterflies, but I think I felt light taps last night.
Help put my mind to rest!!

Answer

I started feeling mine move at 16 weeks (very lightly). It doesn't feel like flutters to me though, it was more like my stomach is twiching. Now I feel her and it feels like my stomach is pulsating. You may also have an anterior placenta which I heard takes longer to feel movement.

Answer

I'm a first time mother with anterior placenta.

I felt my baby's first movement (very light) at 14 weeks 6 day.

First kick at 18 weeks 2 days.

Now, I'm 21 weeks 4 days and I feel him move like 20-30 times a day.

I was really surprised when the US technician told me I had anterior placenta.

Answer

I'm overweight and felt what I thought was flutters at 18 weeks, but 21 weeks is when I really started to feel him. Now I'm 23 weeks and it's visible from the outside! My husband can feel him when I'm laying down. You might try drinking chocolate milk and then laying down flat on your back. It jump starts the kicking and you'll be in a great position to feel it! Good luck!

Answer

I started feeling it a little after 18w (FTM), but only from the inside. I can only feel it when I'm laying down, especially on my side with my legs bent up towards my chest. He also goes crazy when my cat sleeps on my belly. It's all been light taps so far. Nothing my husband can feel from the outside.

Answer

I'm 25 almost 26 weeks and didn't start feeling him til about 23!! I was worried too, so don't!!

Answer

It's been earlier and earlier for me each pregnancy. I thought I felt flutters with my first baby around 15 weeks, but didn't know for sure. I felt definite movements around 19 and you could feel them on the outside right around 20 weeks. My second baby it was about 17 weeks I felt definite kicks and maybe 19 weeks when my husband did. This time was much earlier. I felt movement around 13 or 14, big kicks by 15/16 and my husband felt around 17 weeks.
