When did you feel movement with your first?

Danalana wrote: It might have already been asked but I (obviously) missed it. I know it varies with each woman and even with subsequent pregnancies, but I was just wondering what the average is. I read that it's 16-20 weeks, but I wanted to get numbers from real people. HEHE, not that the people who wrote the book aren't real people, but you know what I mean. I'm hoping to feel the flutters soon!

PrairieMom replied: I felt flutters with mine around 12 weeks, but I guess that is super duper early. Both mine were kicking hard enough for other people to feel by 17 weeks.

Calimama replied: 15-16 weeks I think, but DH couldn't feel her until a little bit later.

BabyOwen427 replied: I don't remember exactly how far along I was when I first felt the kicks. I want to say around 20 weeks. I do remember that one day I was leaning up aginst the sink brushing my teeth and he kicked the sink. I guess he could feel how cold it was or something. I remember that day cause it was so awesome! It was Dec 4. I don't remember how far along I was on that day but his due date was April 14.

You should start feeling them sometime in the next month or so.

That is crazy early!!!!

moped replied: With Jack I was about 20-22 even.........seemed late to me but everyone said normal.

PrairieMom replied:
I kept thinking that there is no way that is what I was feeling, but it totally was. With ben I didn't realize thats what it was until about 14 weeks, but I had definitely been feeling it for a while by then. With Al, I knew it right away.
It felt like a gas bubble, but it was always in the same place. It was up higher than I expected too. I think he was probably kicking something that was moving something else. KWIM? I don't know, but it was definitely there.

mummy2girls replied: i was over 20 weeks....

lovemy2 replied: I was closer to 18 weeks with Olivia and Dylan was probably about the same but mostly I think cause I was overweight with Dylan when I got preg....that can make a difference...

Any recent belly shots for us

Mommy2BAK replied:
same here... it seemed like forever before I felt Blakely kick for the first time, but this time around I felt them much sooner

Mommy2Isabella replied: Umm, with Bella ... around 23-24 ish ..

This time ... 16- 17 time frame ... like REALLY feeling kicks!
You can already see some of his kicks from the outside

Bamamom replied: 17 weeks with Tripp, about 15 with Katie Grace but I think with her I just recognized it earlier. You should feel them soon - let us know immediately!

HuskerMom replied: I think with Keith I started feeling movement around 18 weeks. This time I've felt some flutters for the last few days.

A&A'smommy replied: 16wks and by about 18 or 19wks dh felt her kick for the first time

skinkybaby replied: I want to say it was around 20 weeks with Grace. Caroline was around 12 weeks though.

Danalana replied: Don't worry...I will report to you--and anyone within a respectable distance--as soon as I feel something.

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: Felt the first flutter with Sammy at 15 wks I think - but didnt feel him move on a daily basis until around 21/22 wks.

Felt the first flutter with Abby at 13wks, but again didnt feel the daily movement until much later.

Cant wait to read a post from you telling us you felt him move! It's awesome.

luvmykids replied: I really don't remember, it seems like it was around 15-16 weeks for some reason.
