When did you feel baby move in your 1st pregnancy?

[Mimi_5]

Hi there, I'm first time mother to be. I'm at almost 12 weeks and was wondering when all of the other ladies started to feel your baby move. I know that in consecutive pregnancies it is sooner so I'm interested to hear only info about 1st pregnancies. Thanks for sharing!

I was 21 weeks. On average most first time mothers are 20-24 weeks before they feel those movements only because its new.

Oh ok, thank you very much for sharing :)

I didn't noticed until 20 weeks with my first.  I was oblivious. I felt it at 14 weeks with my second probably because I knew what I was feeling.

Ok, thanks for responding!

I was sitting in an unusual position, with my leg folded up against my chest, and felt the little fish feeling.  It was 12 weeks.  I don't recommend contorting yourself (was worried that I had squeezed him) but that was when it happened.

Little fish :) sooo sweet. Tank you!

16 weeks a slight flutter, 18 weeks felt and saw a small kick, 23 weeks for stronger movements

[Mimi_5]

Thank you! What do you mean by "saw" a small kick?

[katieloub22]

It was just above the pubic hair line, my skin moved up then down slightly. Not huge but enough to be noticeable :)

[Mimi_5]

Oh my! That sounds amazing! I'd have lost my mind :)

[katieloub22]

I was a bit like ooh, but it was nice, I'd just got out of hospital after being treated for hyperemesis gravidarum (really bad morning sickness) and still felt a bit rubbish so it was reassuring! I'm 31 weeks now and she moves loads, wish I could work out which body part I can feel pushing on my stomach! How far along are you?

[katieloub22]

Sorry I've just re-read your original post and seen you're around 12 weeks, hope you feel those flutters soon :)

[Mimi_5]

Yeah I still have a long way to go. I'm on Zofran pretty much around the clock. So nauseated I wouldn't eat if I didn't take it but luckily no emesis for me.

I'm so looking forward to feeling anything :)

[katieloub22]

I'm on cyclizine (anti-sickness) and ranitidine (antacids) round the clock as I'm in the same boat lol thought I'd got better around week 15 then it got a lot worse so am on them now till I give birth! Don't fancy being pregnant again anytime soon :(

14 weeks for me, but it was very very light.

Thank you for answering :)
