FTM - 15 weeks - Baby movement?

Question

Hi there, 
This is my first pregnancy. I’m 15 weeks & 5 days. For all the experienced Moms, how can you differentiate bodily movements from baby movements? Is 15 weeks too early to feel baby movements? I sometimes feel spontaneous “kicks” but I don’t know if it’s my body or my baby. 
Thank you!

Answer

You will start to be able to tell. They will be certain places and certain times of the day. Baby is still super small at 15 weeks, so they won’t be consistent or strong yet, but try to just pay attention to when and where you think you feel baby kicks. As the weeks go on, they will get more distinct. I am 21 weeks and they still aren’t super strong for me yet, but I know he does them in the morning and at night a lot and they are typically in my lower belly by my hips, where his feet were at my anatomy scan.

Answer

I had this feeling for around 2 weeks before I knew for sure it was baby I think it was around 17 weeks for me 😊

Answer

I explained it to my husband like this. Have you ever gotten a fish from the pet store and they put it in the plastic baggie to take home? You know how when it would swim around you could feel the flutters of them swimming around? That's what baby felt like for me. Not consistent movements, and usually closer to the front right above my pubic bone. I started for sure feeling this at 15 weeks.

Answer

First baby movement/kick I felt was at exactly 16 weeks
