When did you first feel baby move?

sparklingdiamond · November 2013

I know I am still early for this, but I know a lot of FTM can feel the baby this early. I haven't felt anything at all. When did you first feel the baby move?

I was 18 weeks when I definitely knew it was baby and not just gas.

I felt my first flutter around 18 weeks. Very inconsistent, maybe felt something one a week. I am now feeling consistent movement, and I am 22 weeks, and this started last week. Do you know if you have an anterior placenta?

My first taps were around 14 weeks, but that is pretty early for a FTM. My mom didn't feel movement with me until 18ish weeks.

I was 19 weeks when I felt my first "I know for a fact that was the baby" kick. It was really inconsistent though until about 24 weeks

I felt flutters, like being tickled from inside, starting around 14-15 weeks. Nothing was consistent. Around 19 weeks, I started getting serious "pokes" that were no doubt kicks or punches. Now movement is very very consistent.

He hasn't mentioned that I do or don't. So I am assuming I don't if he hasn't mentioned it?

I felt my first movement at 14 weeks. I felt very sporadic fluttering through 17 weeks, and then it became much more noticable.

Have you had an U/S lately? That's really the only way they can tell I believe. I had an anterior placenta with both my pregnancies and found out at the A/S. The first time, the tech just mentioned it casually and the second I asked specifically about it. That being said, I think I didn't feel movement until about 20 weeks or so with Delilah and maybe around 18 weeks with Zack. And it didn't become more obvious and consistent until around 22 weeks or so.

The last u/s I had was around 11w2d for my NT scan. I just know I have a friend who is a week behind me who was already told she had an anterior placenta and still said she's feeling movement this past week (she's like almost 15 weeks).

It's comforting to see that most of you didn't feel it until a few weeks later, so now I can worry less!

I knew it was him moving around 20 weeks, but I had an anterior placenta.

liall09 · November 2013

I felt flutters at 14.5 weeks and those continued to get stronger until I had what I considered to be the first "real" kick at 18 weeks.

vitan · November 2013

I felt something at 17 weeks with my first pregnancy but didn't feel full blown movement until after 22 weeks because I had an anterior placenta.

waterfall213 · November 2013

15w5d I felt the first flutter. It felt like a bubble popping. I didn't consistently feel movement until 19-20 weeks.

AshleyMatt1215 · November 2013

I felt flutters and popcorn popping around 15-16 weeks, around 20 it became more apparent.

Whippet8 · November 2013

at 18 weeks I was 100% positive that I felt the baby.

spin25 · November 2013

Not until about 23 weeks.

JLyn821 · November 2013

I felt my first definite kicks/nudges at 19 weeks. Looking back, I know I felt a few flutters here and there, but I'm not even sure when those were since I didn't believe they were legit. Surprisingly, DH felt the kicks/nudges at the same time I did. Since then, I've felt something every day.
