When did you first feel your baby move?

Question

This is my first pregnancy, I am now 18 weeks & everyone is asking me if I can feel the baby move yet. I haven't felt anything yet and it's kind of getting me worried. I read on the Internet that you might feel him/her kick when you are around 20/25 weeks.

Answer

I'm 19weeks and still unsure if I can feel the baby or not. I get a feeling of pressure but really low down. No butterflies. I've got my scan next week so really excited for that x

Answer

I first felt the baby at 17+5, but thought I'd been feeling it for a while. The evening I definitely knew it was the baby I had felt flutters and then tapped my belly and was promptly booted back. Little thing doesn't stay still now. It will happen :)

Answer

I've got an anterior placenta and started to feel movement at 23 weeks

Answer

I felt her at 17/18 weeks. But if your placenta is at the front it can take up to 22 weeks before you feel kicks and if you're a little heavier, it can take longer to. Maybe you just don't reconize the movement. It feels like a fart coming up, but doesn't come out. Sorry don't know how else to describe it 😆

Answer

Im in the same boat as you but my midwife said its ohk if we dont feel movement... Until we're about 21-22 weeks we will start feeling it 😊👍 dont worry 💕

Answer

It can depend on where your placenta is as well...if it's towards the front it can take longer to feel baby move since its in the way!  I'm sure you'll feel something soon!
