When did you first feel baby kicking?

[Suzie]

I felt my first baby at about 18 weeks,but as this is my fourth and i felt this one at 12 weeks definitely roll over,i had to vote under 15 weeks....
My doctor said it was very rare to feel it so early though

[Ms Lee]

I felt first flutters at 17 weeks then gentle kicks at 18w. It was so beautiful. :bellyrub:


firsttimedad, everyone is different. It could be just a week away but it will take longer for you to feel it ...but when you do there's nothing like it.

Bula!

My PPP (Precious Pregnant Princess) started feeling the infamous "butterflies fying around" at about week 13 or 14, but wasn't sure if it was bubba or not. Definite kicks came at the end of week 15, but I still can't feel anything at the end of week 17.

I haven't felt anything yet. I keep on talking to the baby telling him/her to give me a good hard kick but I haven't felt anything definite yet. I suppose it will happen soon. I keep on getting bigger and the baby moves on the ultrasound so everything must be ok but no kicks.

Rob you aren't alone.

Thanks Morv,

Renae just kepts saying its stubborn like its mother, so all is good especially from our u/s earlier this week, he seems to be moving around freely enough and moving them little limbs of his, all is good. Just can't wait for Nae to say put your hand here and feel it...oh well, soon after that no doubt I'll be holding our little bundle of joy with glee...

Finally! I can say that I can feel little Nobba kicking now. The bubbly feelings have probably been kicking but this morning I felt the little blighter kick with my hand!! YAY!
So, I am one of the late bloomers - 22 weeks and 2 days before I can definitely say Little Nobba kicked.
WHOO HOO!!

Guess what!!!! bout half an hour ago I fely quickening, am positive. Was a strange kinda popping/tapping sensation, never felt anything like it! I thought it was too early, but have been reading on internet and it is possible to feel it at this stage, I am so excited I could explode!!!

so that was 14w 4days.

spoke to mother in law who was a midwife for 20 years and she said that some women feel it as early as 12 weeks.

[Debbie Lee]

Yay Min! Glad you have felt it so early (and not at 22 weeks like me - though I am sure I was feeling something sooner now).
Enjoy it! It's coooool!

I felt some flutters at 10 weeks; this is my second pregnancy and I'm feeling movement a lot earlier than the first (just reminded me to go fill in my baby record book!)

[mel_cur]

Does it make a difference if you were overweight before you got pregnant as to how soon you feel the baby move etc?

[snowie]

Mel, I'm a size 16 and it doesn't seem to have made a difference. I had movement before 15 wks (first time I've been this far along) and at 15 weeks I sneezed violently and had a definate response - lots of squiming around low down in pelvis.

[Sterla]

I felt my first definite kick at 20 weeks 2 days. I was lying on the couch watching TV, and there was a very definite movement. Before then, I thought I hadn't felt movement, but I think I just didn't know what to expect. Thinking back, I probably felt some movement around 19 weeks. I'm just waiting to feel more and more movement now!

[Adnil]

it was 20 weeks for me - and i was getting quite impatient!!!!

[sajemsha]

I'm 13 weeks today and for the last few days I've felt flutterings, this is my fourth baby so it doesn't surprise me I haven't told anyone yet, I'm not sure if I would be believed, I'm just sinply amazed and reassured that bubb is doing ok

[Baby_Crazy05]

I've been feeling the stretching and stuff for a few weeks now, had that butterfly feeling for the last week and on Monday, after a rude and stressful phone call with a guy at work who made my blood boil ... after I hung up and tried to calm down the baby did a flip to let me know it wasn't happy about it either! Was so cool ... calmed me down real quick though and made me excited.

Now I just sit and wait all the time for something else to happen!

I just wish this week would go quicker ... we have our first anti-natel appointment at the clinic at hospital on Tuesday and another u/s on the Friday! So can't wait!

I am now 19weeks nearly 20 weeks and i got my quickening in the supermarket when i was 14 weeks and i nearly passed out my mum found it quite funny.
Now Peanut is a true wiggle bum especially at night and te docs keep having trouble finding the heart beat because its moving too much.
Have a great day
Mel

I'm 22 weeks, and haven't felt quickening or movement yet... :-k
Just waiting for something, as this is my first so not sure what to expect.
