I could talk to her and get to kick my hand around 18-19. DH felt it at 19 weeks. Once she started, she didn't stop. I loved it except when I trying sleep. ;) now it is funny to watch her kicking around and see what she used to do on the inside on the outside now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271776 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 13:19:38 +0000 deerylou 1271776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling genuine kicks around week 20. They were so sweet, at first. By week 34, they were violent karate chops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271763 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 13:13:25 +0000 bookwormmama 1271763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the end of week 21 (like the night of 21w6d when I went to bed). DH felt him kick by week 23. I really only felt kicks on my left side and really low for the first several weeks because I have an anterior placenta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271743 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 13:03:51 +0000 Mamasig 1271743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 23-24 weeks. I didn't feel regular movement until about 21-22 weeks. DS was not a big kicker so they never hurt. The movements I felt were more of him stretching and adjusting himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271719 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 12:55:53 +0000 nana87 1271719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started feeling flutters regularly, and still no definitely kicks, and I'm 21w4d. But, I have an anterior placenta.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271601 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 12:14:19 +0000 Vegmama 1271601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just looked back on my blog, and saw that I was feeling pretty consistent kicks at 19 &amp; 20 weeks. Week 18 was the hardest for me: all of my 1st trimester symptoms were gone, and I wasn't feeling anything! I bet you'll feel kicks by the end of the week! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271357 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:28:23 +0000 MapleMoose 1271357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271306 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:08:13 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1271306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think maybe 20 weeks?? I felt a flutter around 14 weeks! DH could feel him move around 18 weeks which was pretty cool and early from what I hear! Now we feel him like ROLL all over - it's so cool :) I'm 26 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271304 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:06:58 +0000 wahine08 1271304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 24 weeks because I had felt one or two really good kicks but she wasn't consistently kicking/moving until 24 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271285 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:00:03 +0000 MrsKoala 1271285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my first flutters around 15/16 weeks and by week 19, I was getting full on kicks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271275 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:52:07 +0000 Mae 1271275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: lol I know. this is exactly what my husband said this morning. I got up and told him about my dream and I was sad it wasn't real and I wasn't feeling real kicks yet he's like "yea thats going to be fun for about a minute. Then you'll have to deal with months of getting kicked…" haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271273 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:50:46 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1271273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 weeks with an anterior placenta. They quickly got uncomfortable though. Be careful what you wish for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271268 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:48:15 +0000 chopsuey 1271268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 weeks for DD<br /> 16 weeks for DS </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271225 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:27:47 +0000 bhbee 1271225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt flutters by 17 and I think real kicks by 20 or so. but my husband couldn't feel it until at least 6 months I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271215 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:22:51 +0000 twodoghouse 1271215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I'm so excited for this too! (Although I still am not sure if I'm even feeling the flutters yet!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271211 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:20:47 +0000 artsyfartsy 1271211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Week 22/23 DH felt him kick for the first time and at week 23 I was able to record his kicks on camera from the outside on video! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271203 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:15:46 +0000 Silva 1271203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure you will feel it soon! I voted for week 17, because my husband felt it then so it was definitely a good kick. But I felt stronger kicks at 16. Not sure why I felt it so early. It wasn't consistent until 22 ish weeks maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271202 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:15:36 +0000 lilyann 1271202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 22 weeks, but I honestly couldn't remember the first time I felt a kick but I know it was sometime around then! I bet you will start feeling them very soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271201 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:15:18 +0000 Mae 1271201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: haha thanks. I think I'm made more anxious by the fact that I had a dream this morning between alarms that she was kicking up a storm and it was SO COOL then I woke up and realized it wasn't real and I was so sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271199 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:13:29 +0000 blackbird 1271199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Week 20. DH could feel it by 22/23 weeks :)</p> <p>SO CLOSE!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-kicking-not-flutters#post-1271193 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:10:51 +0000 Mae 1271193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 19 weeks and for the past 2.5 weeks I've been feeling flutters or maybe subtle floppiness of my girl but no legit kicks yet. I'm so anxious!! (My husband says to calm down because pretty soon I'll not be so excited to get kicked lol). I do not have an anterior placenta so I didn't think it would take this long… although I am overweight and I've heard that can make it take longer to feel legit kicks. </p> <p>So, how far along were you when you started getting actual kicks and not just fluttery floppy feelings from your LO? </p>
