Hi, I felt some movements as early as 14 weeks, but only down low near my cervix. It was more like pin pr**ks in my cervix area, not actual movements as such. But then they disappeared and it took until about 20 weeks for me to feel anything again. This time I felt actual movemetns like rumblings that feel similar to having gas. But I only felt them occasionally and they'd disappear again for 3 or 4 days, then come back, then disappear. I think it might have been around about 23 weeks when I realised that I could feel movements easier by placing my hand on my belly. This is when DH started being able to feel something, too, if we got the timing right. But DH seems to be extremely calming on bub as it usually stops moving once he puts his hand on my belly.
Then for a while bub used to really kick but at around 29 weeks it slowed down again. Now the movements are a lot more gentle, more slow stretching and rolling than kicking. I guess, bub is running out of space.
My placenta is anterior and kinda low lying. I still don't feel much movement in the lower half of my belly, only above the belly button.
I hope that helps.
