18 weeks

With LO #1, I felt what I could only describe as gas bubbles around 17 weeks, but it wasn't until closer to 22 weeks that I felt definite movement that I knew was the baby. I also had an anterior placenta.

23 weeks

I think I was 22 or 23 weeks.

@FaithFertility: When I had the NT Scan at 12 weeks, that's when they first saw that it was anterior and then it was confirmed at 19 weeks for the anatomy scan.

Though this time around, I was told at the NT scan that I had an anterior placenta, but at my 19 week anatomy scan, she confirmed it was really posterior!

I was 24/25 weeks when I felt c for the first time!

@FaithFertility: Yeah, it's not an issue at all. It definitely acted as a pillow though because every so often, Xander would kick me in the side and I could tell the placenta wasn't cushioning it because those kicks were so much more intense! As far as sleep on the back - I don't know. I slept on my back probably until around 7 months before I just got too uncomfortable to keep doing it. Not sure the placenta affected anything or not.

With my first I didn't feel anything until 20 weeks and then not daily until probably 22 weeks. I had an anterior placenta as well.

With my second felt around 15 weeks and daily around 17 weeks.

@FaithFertility: Girl, I TOTALLY hear you. Every morning I'm asking my husband "I mean, this is a bump, right? It's getting bigger, right?" (It's completely tiny, but it grows a bunch during the day--you know how it goes.) But it really is a nerve-wracking time! When is your anatomy scan? I bet that will help a lot.

I'm feeling a lot better, too--still super exhausted, but that's because of some traveling I've been doing and the fact that I just started a new job. If it weren't for all of that, maybe I'd be feeling some of that second-tri energy burst! Appetite is back, though, and I don't feel totally gross all day. So I call that a win!

I also had an anterior placenta the first time around. I felt one big kick, no passing it off as anything else, at 17 weeks, and then nothing for another week or two. I felt a lot more movement starting around 20 weeks, but I never felt as much as I would have liked, because the placenta was blocking a lot of it.

22 weeks, due to anterior placenta it took longer.

22 weeks.

Around 19 weeks, but solid constant movement 21+ weeks.

I was probably around 4.5 months along, so... around 20 weeks? That's when I started to feel certain that the strange bubbly sensations were a baby and not just never-ending gas In the beginning, I remember it feeling more like a tickling, rather than a punch or kick.

I think the first time it's a lot harder to tell what's baby movement.

With my first I consistently felt flutters around 16 weeks

This pregnancy I am 20 weeks and there have been no flutters. I had weird cramping around 17 weeks that I don't know if was baby movement or just my body cramping. Just recently I started to feel definitely kicking...baby is low and strong but it's not that frequent. Maybe 2-3 times a day. I thought I was supposed to feel movement earlier with the second pregnancy but that hasn't proven to be true for me (I'm much chubbier this pregnancy so maybe that's it)

about 22 weeks. I had an anterior placenta
