I felt the butterflies at 12wk 6 days. Proper kicks didn't start until about 17 or 18 weeks. My mum said that with her 3 pg's she felt all first movements between 11-13wks! Its such a beautiful feeling.
I felt this one move for the first time around 12 weeks. Just very light tapping sensations below the navel. It was funny but I knew straight away what it was. I've never had wind in quite that spot before!
DH was just complaining about how he hasn't felt the little'un move, but I reckon that's because he doesn't have the patience. And also coz the little'un seems to stop the minute anyone puts a hand on my tummy.
I've only felt him/her from the outside because i'm prepared to sit for hours with my hand on my tummy waiting for that proper kick...
Though I'm sure soon it'll be so that even the smallest movement will be easily felt from the outside!
I first felt movement (definately NOT gas!!... silly family & friends) at 14w4d. This is my first pg to go beyond 14w although I have had an early 1st tri miscarriage and one just before 14w... maybe that makes a difference?
I felt something reasonably definite at 16.5 weeks, but haven't felt anything quite so definite since. Guess it was bubba doing a 360 or something. They have become more regular at about 18 weeks (now) which is great and so reassuring. More like tapping sensation now, rather then the gassy/ripples that I felt before other then the 360. Bubba must be going to be an acrobat.
Im Only 10 weeks and 2 days but im sure last night and this morning i felt the baby, it was like 2 little pats, last night when i felt it i thought naa its too early but then again this morning im starting to wonder, i felt DD at 16 weeks.
I first felt my baby a day before i started week 18 ... it was like three little taps low down in my stomach.. since then I feel at least 2 of them a day and i looooove it... before i started feeling the kicks/taps i was so paranoid i wanted to get an ultrasound everyday , now i have a new way to check that its all ok
Yeah I know what you mean Enigma, I was always worried, and concerned with the size of my belly too but now I am feeling regular kicks it is so very reassuing and amazing at the same time. Once I reached 20 weeks my DP could feel them from the outside and now they are so regular and strong it is great. Good bubba for helping me not worry anymore!
shereejoy - I was reading ur journal on one of the other sites and now I see your here too.... well done to you.. I got stressed everytime i read that you were bleeding again... grr.... I hope its all downhill from here... but from what Ive read- your baby is determined to show its little face in May )
well done for keeping sane.. ( Im gonna complain less now.. my first 12 weeks werent half as hard ) and good luck !
Well nice to meet you enigma, you are not far behind me in your pregnancy. Thank you for making comment on my bleeding dramas, but all is good now and going really strong, a true miracle.
I have added you to my MSN, so hopefully we can chat sometime.
This is my first pregnancy, and I swear that I felt flutters at 14 weeks. Then I felt nothing for a week and now I'm getting pretty regular kicking. I can almost garauntee that the baby will kick at 9:30 every night.
I felt the first kick against my palm at 19 weeks, it's the greatest feeling.
