I had an anterior placenta with DS and didn't feel flutters until 18/9 weeks. Real kicks a couple weeks later and kicks on the outside a couple weeks after that.
I'm in my 14th week and keep feeling flutters below my stomach and I can't hardly believe that I'm feeling the flutters so early this time!

I felt very minor movement (not kicks so much as a hamster somersaulting) around 17 weeks. I didn't feel it for sure/regularly until 20 weeks.

15 weeks was when I definitely realized they were kicks but I had been feeling slight flutters for a week or so at that point. About 16-17 weeks I could feel them from the outside

I'm in my first pregnancy and I felt flutters around 13 weeks, very infrequently though. Little kicks started around 17 weeks or so. He's very active!!

With LO1 I didn't feel anything until 20-21 weeks. Felt it much sooner with LO2- maybe around 16-17 weeks?

Around 17/18 weeks I was sure that's what I was feeling. I'd understand people saying they feel earlier the 2nd time because they know what to look out for!

At 15 weeks I felt the "rolling" feeling that people describe. In retrospect I'm sure it was the baby but I wasn't positive at the time. By 17 weeks I could really feel kicks and flutters.

I think I was starting to feel kicks at 17-18 weeks. This is my first pregnancy.

17 weeks with DS1, and I started feeling a little bit at 12w this time, though it's been only a few times. I didn't think it was actually movement at first, until I felt it at the docs while they were using the doppler. I felt the movement and the baby kicked the doppler - doc was suprised at how strong he kicks! I'm scared for those kicks further down the road lol

anterior placenta with my first, it was close to 21 weeks before I felt movement.
This time it was closer to 17 weeks that I knew for sure it was movement and not gas.

About the 16/17th week - I was doing yoga and after a sun salutation was like, "whoa, what was that?!" I hear with subsequent pregnancies you feel movement sooner than your first.

I felt it early the first time around, like butterflies in my stomach, or a fluttering that happened often. This time I swear I've already felt those flutters twice and I'm only 11 weeks!

I felt my first at 16 weeks but it was one or 2 "bumps" or flutters and then nothing for a week or more.
This time I have felt tiny, TINY movements about once a week since 11 weeks or so it seems. I know it seems crazy, but baby moving is an unmistakable feeling!

Maybe 16 weeks with DS, but I swear I feel something already at just shy of 13 weeks!

With my son I didnt feel anything til like 26 weeks I think. I joked he would be born before I ever felt him which is why I was so shocked when I felt my daughter at 13 weeks on the dot (right after my NT scan) It really helped me bond better with her since I was in a tough place when I was pregnant with her. I love those little flutters

This thread makes me feel so hopeful! I'm 12w2d, and I swear I felt the weirdest little tiny feelings yesterday and again this morning. Last time I had an anterior placenta, so even though I felt movement early for having that (16-18 weeks), it was never tiny. It just went straight to thumps and bumps. I'm really hopeful that this really is movement, and it will continue!
