When are you able to feel the baby move around or the fluttering feeling?

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that most first time moms can start to feel the baby at about 18-20 weeks.  Moms that have had a baby before can often feel it a bit sooner since they know what to look for.
Good luck!

I felt my little one at 18 weeks♡ She has a favorite position already and it gets uncomfortable I had touched her and felt a little hit from trying to get her to move some.

20+ weeks. I'm now 22 weeks and feel only a little still. This is my 2nd pregnancy (1 miscarriage) but the same thing happened the 1st pregnancy.

I was 20 weeks and it just felt like a twitch, it took me a minute to even realize what happened

I am a first time mom and I felt my little boy move at 14 weeks although I was told it verys  and some moms don't feel their little ones move until 20+ weeks and that if they do they don't realize its the baby. Also I though my little one felt more like a twitch. Now 22 weeks and he kicks hard now :) but I love feeling him move.

I'm only 10 weeks and for the last 2 weeks or so I've been feeling littel movements like little thumps. Its hard to describe but my doc said it's the baby moving and its normal

You should feel a tiny bit moving around  abt 14-16 weeks and the flutters or it'll feel like a twitch around 17+ weeks. They'll get stronger by week 19

I am 13 weeks and maybe its cause I want to feel it so bad. This is my 2nd pregnancy but my 1st only lasted 11 weeks so I still am confused about I should and shouldn't be feeling.
