When did you feel your baby move?

Yep you just wait until those movements keep you awake all night long, this has happened to me on a few occasions now!

Hi Pregy E

Another first time mummy here. I didn't feel my bub move until about 20-21 weeks.

The sharp pains/cramps you describe could be your uterus expanding? I have had those on and off during my pg as well.

It might take a little while to realise that bubs is kicking, but when you do it will be the best!!

Good luck

Hi there,

I'm coming up to 22 weeks with my first pregnancy - I'd have to say that I have felt flutters and weird movements since about 16 weeks... nothing I could definitively say "That is my baby moving".

Even now, at 22 weeks, due to my lovely anterior placenta I have only just started feeling little kicks. I reckon I have only been able to say twice with certainty "The baby just kicked me." Everyone tells me to stop asking for it because soon I'll be feeling it all the time etc etc... but that's not stopping me from being impatient to be feeling it

hi Girls

Don't worry - one of my friends with her first, was 22 weeks. I first felt mine at 16 weeks but it wasn't every day only when I was lying on my back being very still at night.

The good news with feeling it late, your partner might feel it soon after you...my friends partner felt their baby move one week after she first felt it move, but my partner didn't until about 8 weeks later....at week 24

The day after my 19week scan I knew that I had definitely felt my baby move.

It was a definite kick (not hard) but it felt like a pop went off against the inside of my lower belly. I cried when I felt it because like you I just had no idea what I was supposed to be feeling but I just knew as soon as it happened what it was. IT has since happened everyday and is getting quite strong now. My DP felt the baby kick for the first time yesterday (I am 22 and a half weeks).

This is my first baby as well. Good Luck with your pregnancy hun and I cant wait to see a post from you saying that you felt your baby kick.

Oh and I have a low posterior (at the back) placenta. If your placenta is at the front it might take a little longer to feel.
