Definitely felt the kicks earlier the 2nd time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-206653 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 13:30:49 +0000 DillonLion 206653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rare flutters at 16 weeks. And more and more since then. Pretty regular flutters now at 19 weeks, with a few taps and other things thrown in. I have a posterior placenta, which helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-206645 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 13:24:55 +0000 prettylizy 206645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think about 18-19 weeks I felt it, DH not until closer to 28 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-206632 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 13:13:02 +0000 MrsMccarthy 206632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around 17 and a half weeks i felt my first super mild flutters but they were not distinctive until 20 weeks and not regular or able to be felt outside really till past 24 weeks. I have a posterior placenta also. Alot of early feelings can be gas too. make sure to note where you feel it. should be super low like in your crotch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-206148 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 08:19:49 +0000 Andrea 206148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was after 20 weeks with my first but I swear I felt something at around 12 weeks now with my 2nd. This morning I was lying in bed and I for sure felt a bunch of bumping around going on in there. I am 14 weeks tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-206094 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 07:20:23 +0000 mrsjyw 206094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling flutters around week 17/18... feel them pretty regularly now (almost 20 weeks); haven't felt exterior yet and don't expect to-- I have an anterior placenta as well~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-205865 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 22:09:15 +0000 SleepyMonkey 205865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: i wouldn't worry too much! i never had the flutters or anything, they just felt like terrible gigantic gas bubbles, but without the pain. i still have a hard time telling them apart, but if my stomach starts to hurt after a few, i know its not baby! hah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-205666 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:26:34 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 205666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am 21 weeks and 4 days and still haven't felt anything :( my doctor said i should in the next week or two. I asked if i have an anterior placenta and he said i don't so i really hope i feel something soon! </p> <p>A few weeks ago though i did think i felt those bubbles i have heard about it, but i really can't be sure if that's what it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157695 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:18:11 +0000 purrpletulips 157695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't remember with my first but with my second I started feeling some movement late in week 17 then nothing steady until around week 20 (I have an anterior placenta with #2). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157690 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:17:20 +0000 winniebee 157690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much @ exactly 20 weeks. Felt really regular movement a few weeks later and DH probably felt movement around 22 weeks, too. I too have an anterior placenta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157686 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:16:14 +0000 hilsy85 157686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: @CarrieLouWho: Yay, so exciting! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157648 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:53:31 +0000 CarrieLouWho 157648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling a little flutter here or there around week 15, but still nothing consistent. I'm at 19 weeks now and I keep waiting for it to get more regular!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157641 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:49:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 157641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt my first flutter around 18 weeks, however didn't feel the baby again until 19 weeks. They are very spread apart at this time, only a couple times a week, hopefully this week they will be stronger and more frequent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157632 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:44:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 157632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really feel anything until almost 24 weeks, but she hasn't stopped moving since then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157617 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:32:28 +0000 autumnlove 157617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DH started feeling kicks when I was 21 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157595 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:14:33 +0000 Lozza 157595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel anything till 20 or 21 weeks. (I wanted to weigh in to make sure anyone who's thinking "oh no, I'm 20 weeks and haven't felt anything!" can rest assured that it's totally normal!)<br /> I think DH could start to feel it closer to 24. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157587 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:08:35 +0000 sorrycharlie 157587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time I felt like I felt movement was 18 weeks - and now at 20.5 I'm definitely noticing it.</p> <p>Looking back, I think I felt one or two flutters even earlier - end of 17 weeks - but wasn't sure what I was feeling!</p> <p>(I have anterior placenta, too). DH still can't feel anything (she stops when he puts his hand there) but he's seen her kick my phone a few times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157527 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:33:40 +0000 hilsy85 157527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woo hoo, so it seems like in the next week I can expect to feel something, hopefully :) And definitely within the next two weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157524 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:32:33 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 157524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my first on 18weeks on the dot, for my second (maybe because I knew what to expect, at 16 weeks) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157521 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:30:03 +0000 pastemoo 157521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started this same post at 17 weeks--LOL<br /> At 17 weeks, my OB told me the funny feelings I had were baby kicking. It took about 5 weeks for my husband to feel it. By 25 weeks or so, we could SEE the little guy moving in there. :)<br /> I have to tell you--those 5 weeks waiting for DH to be able to feel LO were frustrating!</p> <p>ETA Oh, I felt him once at 14 weeks--but then nothing since that one until week 17. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157519 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:29:05 +0000 heffalump 157519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14 weeks. But from everything I read that was very early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157507 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:22:15 +0000 mediagirl 157507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely knew what I was feeling at 18 weeks. Before that, I wasn't sure and still can't be sure what I was feeling was baby or not. It's pretty cool when you feel those first kicks...and he/she keeps you wanting more! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157502 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:20:56 +0000 chopsuey 157502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think at around 16 weeks. DH and others could feel the baby at 18 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157497 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:18:18 +0000 Shimmer 157497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling flutters/non-distinct movement around 16-17 weeks and more distinct kicks and whatnot around 18 weeks! I don't have an anterior placenta, however. I'm told that can take a little longer so LO can get stronger kicks in!</p> <p>ETA: DH could feel them kick around 18-19 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157496 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:14:41 +0000 hilsy85 157496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah ok...I should add that I have a posterior placenta (or at least that's what it was at 16 weeks). :) @regberadaisy: hope you enjoyed your first mother's day with your sweet baby! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157495 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:14:06 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 157495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking back, I think I started feeling very subtle movement at the end of the 17th, and into the 18th week. I felt her move for sure at the very end of my 19th week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157494 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:13:05 +0000 regberadaisy 157494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a anterior placenta so not till 20 weeks I think? My husband felt her a few weeks later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-movement#post-157491 Mon, 14 May 2012 07:11:53 +0000 hilsy85 157491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow, and just wondering when most people have felt those first flutters/kicks :)</p> <p>And when was the first time your SO could feel them from the outside? </p>
