Fluttering and kicks

[Lilyb]

Hi Ladies,

I just wanted to know when you all first felt your babys movement(fluttering). when can I expect those flutters to turn into kicks?
I feel very mild flutters every now and then, but since I dont feel the baby kicking, I am constantly worried that something may be wrong.

I am 18 weeks 5 days.

Thanks

I am almost 16 weeks and don't feel anything.  I wasn't getting anything on my doppler either until last night which really freaked me out since there are people on here who have been using it since nine weeks.  So I can't wait until tonight to check the doppler again.  I also figure since the doppler was about 7 weeks later than everyone else maybe the movements will be late too.  I hope not.  I can't wait either  and I know it will make DH feel even more excited about the baby if he can feel it move.

I'm 18 weeks and don't feel much yet, maybe the occasional flutter.  I am never sure if it's baby moving or gas..lol.  I am still relying on my doppler for reassurance that all is well, and so far everything seems fine!  I am sure it won't be long until we feel our little ones kicking away...I can't wait!!

I am 25 weeks pregnant with my 2nd after 12 years and i didn't feel full blown kicks until around 22 weeks.  With my daughter, the first baby, it was flutters at 16 weeks and kicks not too far behind.  Every pregnancy is different.

Hi there,

I am almost 16 weeks...and can feel fluttering now in my belly...(lower abdomen) But some people vary...My sis inlaw didnt feel any movement at all till 20 weeks..So dont worry...easier said than done..I know..But all in time...you will feel your precious baby move about!!

My OB told me that for a first time mom, like myself, it could be more like 22-24 weeks before feeling the baby. I felt one distinctive move a week or so ago, but the last two days, have really felt the 'flutters' (mostly at night, but sometimes during the day)

I'm 17 weeks today!

I haven't feel fluttering and kicks until last week... I am about 20 weeks now....

don't worry too much... as long as u/s show baby hr is good and baby is healthy.. some baby is lazy to active... once awhile i pat the belly.. he got mad or something and move around...

to feel baby really kick.. i think at least 23 - 24 weeks...
