For the past week and a half I have felt some little bubbles and flutters and had one strong feeling of what I think was movement this weekend. It's so hard to tell though! I'm just over 17 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-23856 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:10:38 +0000 erinpye 23856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started to feel her really early, and regularly around 17-18 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-23855 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:10:18 +0000 littleveesmommy 23855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling inklings of movement around week 19, but it was very subtle. I had to sit very still and couldn't feel it if I was moving around. Around week 23-24 was when I could feel the baby during the day, to a point where I would stop what I am doing to see if it really was! Now, at week 32, the baby is squirming all day long and I don't really get a break - but I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-23824 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:02:24 +0000 tequiero21 23824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for the past 2 weeks, i've been feeling distinct movements. but sometimes more than others. like today, haven't really felt them. i'm assuming their sleeping. (i'm 21 weeks).... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-23817 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:49:10 +0000 jennylynn 23817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been regularly feeling the baby move since about week 16 but only while sitting still. The middle of last week (week 19), I'v been able to feel her periodically while doing stuff around the house. I don't notice it nearly as much as when I'm just sitting still though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-23784 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:05:21 +0000 lavender 23784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: same with me! My placenta is right in front of the baby, its probalby going to be a good thing down the line...sorta like a cushion :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-23781 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:01:59 +0000 Mrsbells 23781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling the baby consistently towards the end of week 19, I had been feeling slight flutters from week 17 but by the end of week 19 it was definitely kicks and jabs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-23778 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:57:24 +0000 Clementine 23778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel the kicks until 22 weeks. I was a little concerned but my doctor told me that my placenta was right in front of the baby, so it made sense why it was taking longer than usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-23775 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:55:57 +0000 lavender 23775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finally at 23 weeks, I am starting to feel her kick. Darn anterior placenta! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4583 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 18:12:17 +0000 mynoahbear 4583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started to feel kicks around 17-18 weeks. I'm 28 weeks now and the kicks are a lot more stronger now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4517 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:54:21 +0000 MegWag 4517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: In just the last few days I've started to feel the baby a lot more! I just hit 20 weeks. It's weird and cool and awesome :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4372 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 18:25:42 +0000 Mrs. Bee 4372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with olive i felt her move at 16 weeks. with charlie it was definitely after 20 weeks. charlie wasn't much of a wiggly baby either so i never felt him move that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4326 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 14:36:18 +0000 MintedLife 4326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad you asked this! I'm 20 weeks now and I feel the baby move, but it is so inconsistent. I saw my doctor yesterday and she told me that was totally normal, but didn't mention anything about when I would feel her more consistently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4320 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:44:12 +0000 hreichard 4320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually didnt know i was pregnant with my son until i was 20 weeks due to PCOS. Well I started feeling him move around 24 weeks a lot. It varies for women though. If you dont feel the baby move at all though get to the doctor right away. I had a few scares where my son didnt move and it turned out the doctor said he was just being lazy that day. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4246 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 22:54:48 +0000 bakingAbug 4246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling him move more consistently around 24 weeks. They tell you not to worry though about kick counts and what not until 28 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4245 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 22:25:52 +0000 anewme 4245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling movement about 16 weeks but very inconsistently. I was also probably not sure<br /> What I was feeling. Between 18-20 weeks it became much more apparent that is was DD moving. But everyone is different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4223 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 18:44:37 +0000 BabyBruins 4223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling more consistent movement around 19 weeks when I was just sitting at my desk or driving, but there were definitely days with nothing at all. I also have anterior placenta so hubs hasn't been able to feel anything yet. This weekend (22 weeks) I started noticing movement from the outside either with my hand or noticing a light book on my belly moving. Hubs is never close by to feel it in time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4221 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 18:00:00 +0000 miranlee 4221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling her at 17 weeks bit ot with any consistency-- a few days of activity and one day of nothing. At 25/26 weeks i started feeling her everyday, throughout the wholeday. Don't worry, it's different for everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4220 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:57:27 +0000 Sha 4220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not till quite late in the second trimester for me. I had an anterior placenta, which muffled a lot of the movement from me feeling it. Toward the end though I felt him moving and kicking very strongly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-feel-the-baby-move-on-a-regular-basis#post-4217 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:30:46 +0000 MegWag 4217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm about to be 20 weeks and can still only rarely feel the baby move. My midwife says it's normal, but so many places online talk about feeling the baby move regularly by this point. I can sometimes feel the baby if I really focus when I'm lying in bed at night, but I never feel him/her when I'm doing other things or not specifically paying attention.<br /> So, I'm not asking when you first felt the baby move, but when did you begin to consistently feel the baby without focusing on it? </p>
