How long after you started feeling little pops and spasms that you thought were movement, but didn't know for sure, that it turned into totally confidently movement, and more consistent through out the day?
-
Oh goodness... like 4 weeks for me! I was like 50% sure they were baby movements, but it wasn't until a big KICK at a concert (at 18 weeks) that I knew what I was really feeling.
-
end of 16 weeks thought maybe I was feeling something
end of 17 weeks thought I was definitely feeling something
week 20 feeling something every day, but not real kicks yet
23 weeks feeling real kicks
24 weeks my husband could feel kicks and they were starting to have predictable patterns -
Definitely a few weeks! I thought I maybe felt some around 19-20 weeks, then I KNEW by around 23-24 weeks.
-
@swurlygurl: haha!!! I am 18.5 weeks and just this past week I'm having questionable movements - can't believe you were maybe feeling things for 4 weeks already at that point!
-
13 weeks I thought I was feeling something. 18-19 weeks I was sure!
-
I want to say it was somewhere between 16-20 weeks.. 16 weeks was when I first felt a flutter, and close to 20 before they were identifiable movements.
-
A couple of weeks. I started feeling it around 18 weeks but wasn't sure until 20 weeks at our anatomy scan. We could see her kicking on the u/s so then I was sure!
-
I think about a week. 17-18wks.
-
Closer to 20 weeks or so for me. I had an anterior placenta, so I couldn't feel kicks right away.
-
17 weeks I thought I felt some pops and at 18 or 19 they were happening too often to be a coincidence. Kicks weren't super regular until 21 weeks or so.
-
This second time around, I feel like I have felt a few things and now that its been happening daily for about a week, I am chalking it up to movement.
-
About 3-4 weeks from "I think" to "definite."
-
I thought I started feeling movement around 15-16 weeks, but it was like weird tickles across my belly. I think it could have been other things, but it was so weird feeling and it happened whenever I moved or talked a lot. And it started happening more frequently as the weeks went on.
I felt definite movement at 21/22 weeks (it was like the last night of week 21 I think). I have an anterior placenta so it took a but longer to feel definite movement.
-
A couple of weeks.
-
At 18 weeks I still thought it was gas, but by 22 weeks I was sure it was movement!
-
Several weeks, and this is my third baby so I should know what it feels like! Somewhere around 14 weeks to 17 weeks.
-
A couple of weeks. I had an anterior placenta, so those first movements were soooo muffled. I thought it was skin twitches.
-
at around 14 weeks i thought i felt something, but didn't feel it again.
17 weeks i was pretty sure
17.5 weeks if i lied flat on my back DH could feel flutters too.
20 weeks we could both feel quite a bit I think! -
Two weeks. At 17 weeks I felt a popcorn feeling. Then a few days later I could get her to do it when I talked loudly. After a couple of weeks I noticed it all the time.
-
18ish weeks
Felt a stabbing/popping sensation as I was sitting watching TV. For a week prior I've felt random gassy feelings. Since then these popping feelings have been consistent every day. Then at my 20 wk (more like 19 wk, 6 days) u/s my doctor said that I've probably been feeling movement for a bit since the placenta is in the back. So that REALLY confirmed it for me!
-
A LONG time!! Haha, I'm reeeeeally dense, apparently. I remember it wasn't until he was kicking me in my ribs and my arching over in pain at like 24w that I finally realized it wasn't just "a gas bubble". But, I carried really low so I equated all my kicks to like...digestive issues? Hoping I'll be more aware next time:)
-
i didn't feel anything until 21 weeks, and then i was sure over the next week or so. i had an anterior placenta so it took awhile.
-
probably around 2 weeks . . . I was kinda sure right before my 18-wk anatomy scan and very sure by a couple weeks later.
-
About a month.
-
I think around 18 weeks I thought I could feel it, around 23 it was definitely kicks.
-
I started to feel movement around 16-17 weeks, or what I THOUGHT was movement. Either that or indigestion.
When I had my US around 18 weeks, I could see her move and felt it at the same time. Everyday from 17+ weeks, the movements seem to get stronger and more frequent.
I heard that a posterior lying placenta will cause you to feel movement sooner then an anterior lying one. I have friends with anterior lying placentas (only medical residents would know this information about one another) and didn't feel movement until 20+ weeks!

2 weeks, at 10 weeks I was feeling the little flutters and was pretty sure but by 12 weeks there was no doubt left.
-
I felt flutters around 16/17 weeks and for sure movements at 23 and DH was able to feel kicks at 26/27 weeks
-
Around 17-18 weeks I felt the first few bubbles, but I definitely knew they were baby movements by my 20wk ultrasound. So exciting for you!!
DH couldn't feel outside movement until maybe 25wks though? Or later. -
a couple of weeks. it wasn't until after 20 weeks that i knew for sure it was movement! but much earlier the second time around.
