So exciting for you!!<br /> DH couldn't feel outside movement until maybe 25wks though? Or later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1524217 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 19:33:22 +0000 Honeygold89 1524217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt flutters around 16/17 weeks and for sure movements at 23 and DH was able to feel kicks at 26/27 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1524007 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 18:11:39 +0000 cyndistar3 1524007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 weeks, at 10 weeks I was feeling the little flutters and was pretty sure but by 12 weeks there was no doubt left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1523977 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 17:51:35 +0000 HayleyJane 1523977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1469114 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:56:21 +0000 Claire.Peonies 1469114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started to feel movement around 16-17 weeks, or what I THOUGHT was movement. Either that or indigestion. :) </p> <p>When I had my US around 18 weeks, I could see her move and felt it at the same time. Everyday from 17+ weeks, the movements seem to get stronger and more frequent. </p> <p>I heard that a posterior lying placenta will cause you to feel movement sooner then an anterior lying one. I have friends with anterior lying placentas (only medical residents would know this information about one another) and didn't feel movement until 20+ weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1435051 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 21:01:32 +0000 Sapphiresun 1435051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 18 weeks I thought I could feel it, around 23 it was definitely kicks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1435024 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 20:49:42 +0000 HayleyJane 1435024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1434900 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:58:32 +0000 bhbee 1434900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>probably around 2 weeks . . . I was kinda sure right before my 18-wk anatomy scan and very sure by a couple weeks later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1434887 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:52:54 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1434887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i didn't feel anything until 21 weeks, and then i was sure over the next week or so. i had an anterior placenta so it took awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433772 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:28:28 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1433772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A LONG time!! Haha, I'm reeeeeally dense, apparently. I remember it wasn't until he was kicking me in my ribs and my arching over in pain at like 24w that I finally realized it wasn't just "a gas bubble". But, I carried really low so I equated all my kicks to like...digestive issues? Hoping I'll be more aware next time:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433763 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:22:50 +0000 MK0180 1433763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18ish weeks :) Felt a stabbing/popping sensation as I was sitting watching TV. For a week prior I've felt random gassy feelings. Since then these popping feelings have been consistent every day. Then at my 20 wk (more like 19 wk, 6 days) u/s my doctor said that I've probably been feeling movement for a bit since the placenta is in the back. So that REALLY confirmed it for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433737 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:09:07 +0000 singingbee 1433737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two weeks. At 17 weeks I felt a popcorn feeling. Then a few days later I could get her to do it when I talked loudly. After a couple of weeks I noticed it all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433707 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:01:24 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1433707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at around 14 weeks i thought i felt something, but didn't feel it again.</p> <p>17 weeks i was pretty sure<br /> 17.5 weeks if i lied flat on my back DH could feel flutters too.<br /> 20 weeks we could both feel quite a bit I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433690 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:52:14 +0000 Grace 1433690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple of weeks. I had an anterior placenta, so those first movements were soooo muffled. I thought it was skin twitches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433651 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:28:55 +0000 whodat 1433651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Several weeks, and this is my third baby so I should know what it feels like! Somewhere around 14 weeks to 17 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433649 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:28:05 +0000 BadgerMom 1433649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 18 weeks I still thought it was gas, but by 22 weeks I was sure it was movement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433644 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:25:11 +0000 MrsH 1433644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433634 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:22:17 +0000 bookwormmama 1433634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I started feeling movement around 15-16 weeks, but it was like weird tickles across my belly. I think it could have been other things, but it was so weird feeling and it happened whenever I moved or talked a lot. And it started happening more frequently as the weeks went on.</p> <p>I felt definite movement at 21/22 weeks (it was like the last night of week 21 I think). I have an anterior placenta so it took a but longer to feel definite movement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433619 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:17:09 +0000 Mamasig 1433619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 3-4 weeks from "I think" to "definite." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433565 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 11:56:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1433565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This second time around, I feel like I have felt a few things and now that its been happening daily for about a week, I am chalking it up to movement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433501 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 11:30:36 +0000 fussygal 1433501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17 weeks I thought I felt some pops and at 18 or 19 they were happening too often to be a coincidence. Kicks weren't super regular until 21 weeks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movement-how-long-from-i-think-to-i-know#post-1433488 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 11:27:02 +0000 cascademom 1433488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Closer to 20 weeks or so for me.
