I also have an AP so don't feel it as strong externally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-896112 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 05:45:10 +0000 MapleMoose 896112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By 17 weeks I was feeling something, and by 18 weeks I could tell they were kicks, although not as strong as in the following weeks. I love seeing how active baby is during ultrasounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-896032 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 23:13:30 +0000 googly-eyes 896032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: 15/16 weeks, but not regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-895939 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 21:30:29 +0000 skibobrown 895939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing I was sure about until 18-19 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-895868 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 20:35:18 +0000 OklahomaMama 895868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about 21 weeks. I have an anterior placenta as well, which has been frustrating at times. Once you REALLY start feeling them, they don't stop :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-881214 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 21:01:30 +0000 lilteacherbee 881214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cat jumped across my belly when I was 15 weeks and as I was yelling at her, I felt some pops that I was sure was baby. However, I only felt small flutters for a few weeks after that, very sporadically. Last week (18 weeks) I started feeling kicks every day. DH felt him kick for the first time yesterday at 19 weeks. I have an anterior placenta and most of the kicks I feel are very low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880896 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 18:49:54 +0000 singingbee 880896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt pops when I was talking to my mom on the phone. I was 17 weeks. By the next week, I could feel sporadic kicks and by 19 weeks, others could feel the baby kick from the outside when I talked loudly to the baby. Now I'm 23 weeks and she moves most of the day. I have a posterior placenta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880772 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 17:42:10 +0000 Smurfette 880772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19/20ish </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880742 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 17:27:06 +0000 tysonja 880742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19-20ish! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880736 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 17:25:43 +0000 DigAPony 880736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I for sure felt baby at 18 weeks exactly. I might have felt little flutters earlier, but I couldn't tell for sure.</p> <p>My best friend felt her second baby at 14 weeks! It's totally possible to feel them pretty early on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880682 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 16:52:30 +0000 keiki_mama 880682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 17 weeks or so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880635 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 16:33:06 +0000 lamariniere 880635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I for sure felt something with my 1st around 17 weeks. I'm 14 weeks with my 2nd and have been feeling little flutters the last few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880633 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 16:31:04 +0000 Sweet T 880633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt my first at 16.5 weeks. With this pregnancy, I have an anterior placenta and didn't feel anything until almost 19 weeks. I skipped feeling flutters and went straight to kicks this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880554 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 16:00:08 +0000 chanzi 880554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 16 weeks? At 18 I could feel it regularly and so could DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880526 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 15:46:49 +0000 sslm 880526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 14-15 weeks I felt some flutters! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880518 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 15:44:30 +0000 Alivoo01 880518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18/19 weeks for me internally. It took several more weeks before movement could be felt on the exterior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880330 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:47:32 +0000 Chillybear 880330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 17 weeks i started feeling rumblings, but it wasnt very consistent. At the 20 week scan, we found out that i have an anterior placenta which is why i was only feeling her strongest movements. Now at 24 weeks i can feel her move a lot and even with my hands on the outside of my belly, however she gets shy whenever my husband tries to feel her move </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880329 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:47:26 +0000 daniellemybelle 880329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: The roller coaster drop is the best way to describe it! Most of the movements I feel are like that, though occasionally I'll get a real jab! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880326 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:46:14 +0000 daniellemybelle 880326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At about 19 weeks, I started feeling "flutters" but I wasn't sure. I was about 20 weeks when I was sure. I'm overweight so LO has a lot of belly fat to kick through! Now I am 24 weeks and the kicks are strong enough for DH to feel on the outside, which is the coolest! I LOVE BABY KICKS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880301 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:37:21 +0000 sarac 880301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt it at 16 weeks, but I wrote it off as gas. At 18 weeks I was sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880285 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:34:21 +0000 illumina 880285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 17wks I was sure I was feeling her move around. I guess it could have been earlier, had I known what I was looking for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880226 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:19:48 +0000 LaineysMom 880226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt flutters at 14, sporadic kicks at 17, every day at 19. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880213 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:17:29 +0000 kjpugs 880213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: a WHILE. Like a month ago maybe, so around 20 weeks? And about 2 weeks since I started REALLY feeling baby kick strongly. And still, it's not all the time, just a few times a day. But my BFF was around 12-14 I think. She was so sick of people telling her she was crazy but she described it similarly and said it just got stronger and more and now she feels it all the time. Interestingly- she also has a tilted uterus! So I bet that has something to do with it!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880206 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:15:18 +0000 Charm54 880206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling movement around 18 weeks...DH could feel it at 20 weeks. Now at 27 they're pretty strong kicks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880204 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:15:02 +0000 MrsF 880204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could remember exactly when these things happened for me. I'm sure I thought I would never forget! My advice - write the little pregnancy milestones down in a belly book or on a napkin or whatever. Next time I'll do this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880193 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:12:13 +0000 MrsTiz 880193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt a few flutters around 15 weeks. 18 weeks it became an everyday thing.</p> <p>It feels like when you go over a rollercoaster and your stomach drops, but just in one place. I never did feel the "popcorn popping" sensation or the tickles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880192 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:12:02 +0000 MrsB2012 880192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started noticing different 'feelings' around 18-19 but was never really sure. Around 22 I could feel small light kicks, kinda like a muscle twitch in your belly. I also have an anterior placenta so it took longer than most. In the mid 20's it was obvious kicks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880185 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:09:40 +0000 Vegmama 880185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: My uterus is tilted forward, so maybe that makes a difference. How long did you have to wait to feel baby with your AP? Glad to hear that I *might* not have imagined it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880181 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:07:55 +0000 kjpugs 880181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me forever because I have an anterior placenta but my BFF felt it way early. Just depends on baby and your personal insides set-up :) She described it kind of like a goldfish swimming around, and my SIL described it as feeling like you were on a roller coaster. So that sure could be what you felt! You'll know for sure if you feel it again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-baby-move#post-880173 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:06:09 +0000 Vegmama 880173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was sitting on the couch over the weekend and felt the weirdest sensations ... not cramping, not digestion, just an odd feeling (almost like a phone vibrated on my belly for a split second). I'm 12 weeks as of today, which seems REALLY early to feel baby moving at all.</p> <p>How early do you think you felt baby? I don't even mean kicks (I know I still have several weeks), but general movements or the beginnings of it. </p> <p>Also, we have our 1st trimester screen next Monday, and I am so excited to see baby moving around! </p>
