I'm a ftm and felt my baby move for the first time at 16 weeks. Before that,  I kept reading from other moms how it feels. I was like flutters? I kept feeling like bubbles in my stomach but right after I would fart lol sorry tmi.  So I knew it wasn't that. One day right before falling asleep I had my hand on my lower abdomen and felt somenthing I've never felt before. I knew it was the baby!! I hope you feel your baby soon :)

I'm 20 weeks and 6 days.. I never felt flutters and just felt her kicking for the first time 2 days ago. I wouldn't worry to much my Dr told me most ftm don't feel the baby until 20-25 weeks.

I didn't recognize it at first! Movement can be all sorts of different things. It might feel like a muscle twitch, a light pressure in one small place that comes and goes, or even unexpected butterflies very low. Don't stress. The more you analyze the harder it is to feel baby.

It's usually normal to not feel any kicks up till 24 wks I got told but if for any reason your just worried or think something might be wrong or need peace of mind see your gp they will have a feel put the fetal Doppler on to check the heartbeat and go from there. Bubs could just be far back. I had a freak out at 20+4 when my baby girl didn't kick at all for the day and she's usually super active so saw a doc and heart rate was great and she was kicking around like crazy later that night, but still felt better going :)

I was super nervous too I felt it though at 23 weeks you feel taps at first and then you feel the rest.drink alot of milk to make the bones stronger and healthy. But just say something to your midwife incase of anything it can be scary.

Yea. It's making me super anxious thinking about it. And my symptoms subsided so I don't feel preggo anymore so it makes me wonder.

I didn't feel my twins until 21 weeks. I was so worried about it that my blood pressure went up! Don't worry, it's different for every woman! That part was probably the hardest on me- waiting to feel the movement!

I'm 32 weeks and just left hospital for this very reason. Thankfully everything is ok. But like doc told me better safe than sorry! If they have to see me everyday it's worth a healthy baby! If your concerned please go see about baby!

I bet you could be like me. Im 22 weeks and have been feeling my son for a good month. At first I didn't realize what it was. The way articles and books describe it feels nothing like how I describe it.
To me it feels like small thumps (sort of like how you thump a melon to see if its ripe).
At first I just felt him at night when id first lay down in bed, then morning before I got up was added to that. Now I feel hom move all day.
Once you figure out how it feels when your baby moves you will notice it more and more.

I'm 19 weeks and haven't yet. My doctor said it all depends on where the placenta is located as to when you'll start feeling the baby. I have my first ultrasound in exactly 1 week so I'll know more then :)
