I can't wait to start feeling movement!! I'm just curious when y'all started feeling your baby move...and I'm hoping to hear some "early" answers!!! :-) My placenta was anterior for my last pregnancy, so I didn't feel much of anything. I'm hoping that isn't the case this time around!
Thanks everybody!!! I'll be 12 weeks soon...still waiting to feel movement, but I have a feeling it won't be long!! :-)
I felt my son VERY early. 14 weeks. I was sitting on the toilet and felt him flip flop in my stomach. I had felt flutters for a few weeks, but that night he really started moving. My OB said that's really early for the first pregnancy. It was crazy, you could even see what body parts were hitting my stomach. I could make out his head, elbows, butt, etc. Hope you start feeling movement soon!
I felt the fluttering around 16 weeks and real kicks around 20.
really early with baby number 4, and way later than I liked with this one. it really just depends on the baby I think, all my kiddos were big and it still varied with each of them.
I felt my daughter move very early by like the third month. It felt like a butterfly fluttering inside me. I knew right away it was her.
For all 4 pregnancies I had posterior placentas and I stated feeling movement with all 4 at 16 weeks :) I was not too big to begin with the last 3 i started at 164lbs and my first @128lbs, that may have something to do with it I was told ;)
15 weeks 6 days, I remember so well because it was Father's Day and it made me so happy! My husband was in an other state, in Army training and we had no contact with each other. I had a horrible day at work and was missing my honey terribly, and feeling our little baby moving around was a way for me to feel connected to my husband!
Each pregnancy has gotten earlier and earlier for fetal movement! My oldest I felt at 16 weeks, my middle 14 weeks and my little one inutero now I felt at 13 weeks!!! Love the feeling!!!!
It's been a while, but I'm thinking it was 4-1/2 mos? It's ironic -- it happened when I was visiting my grandmother (my mom missed out) and her eyes got wide & she said "that's life! that's the quickening!" :)
Then, when I had my one & only, I tried to reach my mom, who had been visiting her. Mom had just left & again, my grandma was the first to know.
18 weeks for me - just a couple of days before our first ultrasound! It was like a tiny quick little flutter, and it kept happening in the same spot. I told my husband and he kept trying to tell me it was just gas. Really? I think I know that this does NOT feel like gas! Another way I found to describe it was "the baby is percolating." Like little bubbles bubbling!
The first time I actually "knew" it was him moving was about 18ish weeks... If he was doing it before then, I thought it was just my stomach growling...
with my oldest i was 14 weeks the first time. with the twins I was about 13 weeks. not much difference time wise. however, I felt on of the boys more than the other. they each had their own placenta and "S's" placenta was anterior so I didnt feel him move as much.
17 with my first and then the other two were like 14 weeks. I think I knew more of what it felt like with the subsequent two.
