Just frustrated and anxious

When did you all feel your baby move first? I'm 16 weeks and think I've felt my baby move but it's been once in a blue moon. (once I had flutters at 14 weeks and I think once yesterday I was poked.) I keep looking at my belly and saying "baby kick me." I know that I might not feel it for sure until I'm closer to 18 weeks but I'm just anxious! Arg baby kick me!

I started feeling the baby at about 16 wks. Im 22 wks now an it all the time. I can feel an see baby throu out the day. At night is when u felt all three kids the most, or when my husband talks to my belly. I think it depends on baby size your size as well. Som peps mistak gas for the baby, sounds funny but true. Everyone an baby is diffrent. My cuz n i r both due may 1st she just startd feeling baby n last couple weeks. They say norml baby for my 22 weeks is 13 oz an 10in songrm said at 19 wks my baby was 13oz an 10in so maybe my babies grow fastr never know. I got anx myself wit all kids cause for some reason i feel better when i get to feel them. Makes me think they are ok i guess. Idk but i understand i did it too. Being pregnt makes me crazy too so i feel ya!!! Lol goodluck im sure u will feel the baby soon.

I felt my son about 15 weeks with fluttered and he started kicking at 18 weeks, with this pregnancy I felt flutters 13 weeks and kicks at 15, now I'm 18 weeks and he kicks all the time, even my partner has felt him, and my son when he was resting his head on my belly.he got kicked in the head haha. But everyone's different.

Mrs_bagz will do to try and enjoy this time. :) I'm just so excited, plus I've missed a lot of pregnancy symptoms. . . Some I'm glad I've missed. . . It's just really hard to, you know, feel pregnant when the only thing different (and it's not that different from being pms) is that I'm ornery. :)

Everyone I'm glad you can feel your babies! It must be great and thank you for answering my question. It is much appreciated. :)

I'm almost 21 weeks and am a first time mom. I just started feeling the very tiny movements for the first time almost a weeks ago. The feeling comes and goes and I do not feel her everyday.

Since this is your first, your body isn't used to feeling baby move and it doesn't know what it feels like. You are still really early and baby is still really small and most likely isn't big enough to make a prominent "kick".
Most FTMs don't feel anything until 20 weeks.
Women who have already had a baby, know what it feels like so they are more likely to feel baby earlier.

Lol when you get further along, the kicking becomes so strong... it keeps you up at night.. sometimes baby kicks your ribs and its really painful!
So just relax and be happy you don't feel it yet.
It is a wonderful feeling though, but once it becomes a daily thing.. its allll you feel unless baby is sleeping. (:

This is all good to hear. A lot of people are getting surprised I haven't felt much yet. Did anyone else get as anxious or excited to feel the baby as I am? lol I am literally yelling at my belly for the baby to kick me! I know I can be kind of crazy sometimes. . . but it makes the waiting so much more fun.
