They were few and far between at first. I'm 19 weeks now and they're definitely more noticeable but still too light for anyone else to feel with a hand on my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1809198 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 10:00:33 +0000 cmomma17 1809198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was WAY late for me! Like 22/23 weeks! And I didn't have anything like anterior placenta! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1809151 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 09:47:36 +0000 snowjewelz 1809151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think after 20 weeks for me. Being a FTM, and having an anterior placenta, I've felt some things here &amp; there before 20 weeks but was never even really sure. Suddenly, at some point after 20 weeks, I started feeling her all the time and now she won't stop kicking at 24 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1808547 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 01:33:22 +0000 sunshinemama 1808547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At like 16-17 weeks if I stayed super still I could feel spasms like the kind you get in your eye, and at 19-20 weeks I could see/feel the movement from the outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1808398 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 21:51:43 +0000 skibobrown 1808398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little teeny movements (but fairly unmistakable as baby) around 19 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1808370 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 21:28:12 +0000 fussygal 1808370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I was 17 weeks I think for "maybe that was movement" and 19 I was definitely able to tell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1808163 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 18:06:30 +0000 FaithFertility 1808163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about 18-19 when I began to feel a flutter or two, but I'd feel it then nothing for days.....I found out my placenta was anterior at my anatomy scan! Today @ 22 weeks I will feel her only if she is to the side or "kicks" hard still speradic though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807920 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:01:48 +0000 AngelicOne 1807920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about 19 weeks before I felt anything. I am now 23 weeks and now feel him moving around at least 5 times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807749 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 08:49:25 +0000 MrsB2012 1807749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>22 weeks about. I had an anterior placenta as well though. ( which no one mentioned to me, even when I asked about not feeling movements! I saw it on the report months late) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807730 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 08:13:19 +0000 yellowbird 1807730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 18-19 weeks before I felt anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807725 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 08:04:20 +0000 ALV91711 1807725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 17 weeks or just after is when I started to feel things but it took a couple weeks to be consistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807724 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 08:04:20 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1807724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal! I didnt feel my son until close to 28 weeks! Some of it I think was because I was a first time mom and I probably had movement sooner now that I look back at it and didnt know it or think it was definitively the baby so I didnt count it til I was sure part of it was because my son was a very calm baby in womb and as a whole didnt move around a lot in general. I use to joke I would give birth before ever feeling him move. Compare that to my daughter whom I felt at 13 weeks and never stopped moving in womb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807713 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 07:46:34 +0000 tlcbaby 1807713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Completely normal! I didn't even feel anything until 20 weeks and even then it was so small I was always questioning if it was the baby or just my tummy. It wasn't distinct for a couple more weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807706 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 07:37:18 +0000 pui 1807706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not feel anything at all before 21 weeks. By 23 weeks the movements were much more obvious and common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807693 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 07:03:12 +0000 namaste 1807693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling regular movement at 17 weeks. I've always been it's normal to start at 20 weeks. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807692 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 06:58:25 +0000 regberadaisy 1807692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have regular movements till past 22 week due to anterior placenta.

Even then it was mostly at night. I didn't feel consistent throughout the day movement until 24 weeks. I also skipped over the butterfly stage and it felt like little touches / pops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807676 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 05:56:07 +0000 sorrycharlie 1807676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal! I felt around 18 weeks definitively but my doctor told me after 20 weeks was normal, especially if you have an anterior placenta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807667 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 05:21:28 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1807667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20-21 weeks with #1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807665 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 04:18:31 +0000 lamariniere 1807665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I first felt movement around 17 weeks with my first LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807661 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 04:06:48 +0000 Mae 1807661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I was right towards the end of 17 wks before I felt anything at all and by 20 weeks it was definitive and daily. I bet you'll feel something soon. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807660 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 04:06:32 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1807660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel anything definitively baby until about 20-21 weeks. I may have felt a grinding like @Mrs tartan: mentioned (and still do) but I skipped right over the butterfly stage and went straight to little pops. She didn't really start moving until like 22-23 weeks. Now she is pretty much non stop at 29 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807658 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 02:57:10 +0000 Mrs tartan 1807658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 19 weeks, felt nothing like I expected it to, no bubbles or popping or butterflies, I felt like a slow grinding in my belly. I think I'd actually been feeling it a but longer and dismissed it until during my scan she told me baby was moving and it matched that grinding feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807634 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 00:50:24 +0000 Mrs.Lilac 1807634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> I'm Currently 22 weeks and didn't really feel anything definitive until 19 weeks (I think in May have felt flutters before this but not too sure). I was really worried And Ended up going to see a midwife as everyone else seemed to be feeling things on my due date board. The midwife told me that as a first time mum, she says it can take up to 21 weeks! At 19 I really started to feel kicks and now it's is VERY hard and clear. Try not to worry. You will feel them soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-baby-movements-in-first-pregnancy#post-1807633 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 00:42:37 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1807633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a first-time mom, when did you start feeling movement? I'm 17w5d and haven't felt anything yet. Is that normal? </p>
