2. How/ What did it feel like? Flutters?

Thank you!!

Answer

For the longest time I thought I just had gas bubbles. When I would lay on my belly I could feel it a lot but was never convinced it was baby. Then At like 18 weeks I felt a hard kick (it was hard at the time, they have since gotten a lot harder) while I was eating ice cream, I cried haha but then I knew what I had been feeling was baby the whole time! Now it's non stop! I'm 24 weeks and 4 days now. It'll happen. And when it does you will know!

Answer

I'm 22 weeks and I started to feel the baby move at around 20.5 weeks.  Lots of things can affect when you feel the baby like the position of your placenta and your body habitus.  I have an anterior placenta which can hinder feeling the baby.  It felt like butterflies at first but now it feels like someone is poking me on the inside.  It's the most incredible feeling ever.  You will be able to feel your little one soon so don't worry 😊

Answer

It felt just like gas bubbles for the longest time, I really still don't know if it was baby movement but that was about 18-19 weeks. Around 20 I started feeling "pokes" that I knew for sure was him. :)

Answer

I was around 20 weeks when I first felt my baby move! (This is my first pregnancy) and it feels like bubbles too me. Tomorrow I will be 22 weeks and I can more distinctively tell when the baby moves but it still feels like bubbles to me! Hopefully you feel your little one kick soon!

Answer

Thank you ladies for all ur useful feedback. I am waiting patiently until the day when I can feel my lil one.

Answer

I never felt the "flutters" that everyone said I'd feel early on. The first time I felt my girl and KNEW it was her I was 19 weeks and 5 days. In 23 weeks today and just started to feel her randomly throughout the day. Before that, it was just at night when I layed down and it was only a few times.

Answer

I started feeling butterfly flutters around 15w but it would be every 4 days or so. I feel movement everyday now (I'm 22w5d) which really just started 4 days ago. Haven't felt the strong kicks yet.
