Feeling Baby?

Question

I'm hearing everyone talk about how they can feel their baby move, I will be 18w tomorrow and I don't feel a thing. 
I've read that it feels like flutters or gas but the only thing I have felt is a little pressure every now and then in different spots, but I don't know if that is the baby moving or just ligament pain.

This is my first pregnancy so I have no idea what to look for. What did the first movements you felt feel like?

Answer

I think I'm starting to feel movement but I'm not sure. If it is, it definitely feels like gas bubbles. I'm 18w3d.

Answer

Mine feels like light muscle spasms. My boyfriend sister said hers felt what she could only describe as bubbles popping. Some have said flutters. Just depends 😎

Answer

I just started feeling mine yesterday at 17/3. I practiced afterward so I could show my husband what it felt like since he won't be able to feel it for a few more weeks. To me, it felt the same as putting your hand on your belly and gently tapping the pad of your pinky finger only the feeling comes from the inside (duh).

Answer

I am 18 weeks and haven't felt anything. I was told my last appointment that I have anterior placenta which is why I haven't felt him yet.

Answer

Mines felt like muscle twitches and now I can feel him a little bit stronger.

Answer

I also get that pressure wherever the baby is - of course not all the time but it started about 10 days ago and has been getting stronger since.

Answer

I'm 18 weeks 1 day with my first and I feel her move every now and then. More often when I'm laying down. To me it feels like a small bubble pops in my abdomen area. It also depends on where the placenta and uterus are located. Have you had an ultrasound yet? With an ultrasound they should be able to tell you if your placenta is anterior. If it is it may be closer to 20-22 weeks before you feel any movement because the baby has to be strong enough to kick through the placenta. Hope this helps.

Answer

Im 21 weeks and nothing yet...

Answer

I'm 17+ with my first. Haven't felt a thing. Also never had any early symptoms and haven't gained any weight so it's hard to believe I'm really even pregnant, but doctor says baby is just fine! :-) I try not to worry my husband says "nervous mommies make nervous babies" lol.

Answer

Everyone is different. I've been feeling mine more and more since week 17.  Im almost 21 weeks now. She is moving like crazy, mostly in the morning and night. At first it was light flutters, now it's full kicks that I can see from the outside. I also am super skinny and tall so I don't know if that has anything to do with it as well. 
Your time will come :)
