When did you feel kicks?

Question

So I'm currently 16 weeks and 4 days along, and I am desperate to feel that first kick! I have dreams about feeling my baby and wake up disappointed it hasn't happened yet. (Even though I will probably regret asking for it when I'm being karate kicked in the ribs later on) So my question is, when did you feel your first kicks/flutters during your first pregnancy? And what did it feel like?

Answer

With my first it was later too, closer to 20+ weeks. This time it was around 12 weeks. To me, it feels like muscle twitches. That’s how I’d describe it.

Answer

FTM and I started feeling her around 16 weeks! Now I’m 18 and her kicks are def stronger now 😊 I can still only feel from the inside not outside!

Answer

They usually start in the 5th month. I’m anxiously waiting too

Answer

Do you have an anterior or posterior placenta?

Answer

Every single pregnancy is so vastly different, I’d say there really is no actual average week for the sensations to begin. I swore I could feel butterfly wings flapping when I was just 8-9 weeks. Then nothing. At 15 weeks, I really started feeling movement. A week later, my husband swore he could feel a kick with his hand, and I was able to feel what seemed like a roll or twist with my hand on my lower belly. None of it is consistent, though. That drives me a little crazy, especially when I haven’t felt a thing for a day or two. But even still, I might be imagining it. I’m now 17 weeks, and my doctor says I shouldn’t feel anything until after 20 weeks. If I had to describe the feelings, it’s different each time. Sometimes it feels like the tapping of a finger or a muscle twitch. Sometimes it feels like a pinwheel spinning slowly in my uterus. If I’m not trying to notice, it would probably go ignored. I feel it most when I’m lying on my back. Sometimes I wonder if it’s just gas, but if I don’t fart afterwards, then I’d like to think it was the baby. Lol. The movements are getting higher now that the baby is above my pelvic bones, so it’s easier to tell the difference between low gas and baby wiggles.

Answer

21 weeks with my first.

Answer

I'm not too sure if it was kicks, but this morning I was laying on my side and very still and could feel like bubbles popping inside my stomach 😍😍 got me excited haha

Answer

16 weeks and 2-3 days, with a Doppler I heard the movement and felt a tap on my stomach, now I’m 17 weeks and 5 days and can feel little kicks and turns after eating when I am leaning back.

Answer

20w+ with my first, my second was around 15 weeks, inconsistent movement and flutters. This one I’m 16 weeks and felt my first real movement today. But not consistent. 💜💚 the waiting is brutal!

Answer

With my first I didn't feel her until I was 25 weeks, with this pregnancy I started feeling baby move 14 weeks. This baby isn't as active as my first the movements are very subtle but I think since I know what I'm looking for I am able to tell baby flutters from anything else.
