When did you start to feel movement?

I know this has probably been asked a bunch of times already...but I'm almost 14 weeks and with my first two babies this was when I started feeling some flutters.  But with my 3rd I don't feel a thing!  In fact, I don't even feel pregnant.  If I didn't have this bump staring at me I might have forgotten!  BUT I'm dying to feel something already!  So when did you first feel flutters?

I'm 19 weeks and STILL haven't felt anything at all. This is my first baby so the doctors keep telling me I'll probably start feeling something in the next few weeks and the heartbeat and everything is fine but still, I want to feel my baby. I'm starting to get pretty anxious myself.

I am 17 wks and I can feel movement quite frequently! It makes me laugh a little when I feel it. DD1 I felt movement closer to 20 wks if I remember correctly. 

 

Good luck!

I am not feeling anything yet and I am 16 weeks with my 3rd.  All my kids I felt later, 23 weeks with my first one and 22 weeks with my second.  Hoping this one is sooner, but given my history not counting on it.  Sigh...

Going on 16 weeks with my second and I'm feeling much of nothing.  I thought I may have been feeling rumbles a couple weeks ago but nothing so I'm guessing that was gas!

With my 1st, I got an ultrasound and that must have enticed the baby to wiggle because on the way home I felt flutters.  So around that same time w/my 2nd, I poked my lower tummy like the ultrasound tech would and sure enough, it wiggled.  But with this one, no such luck.  I guess it's too early and I'm just impatient!

at 15 weeks it was a 'was that a flutter'? then at 16 weeks there were definite movements.

I'm 20w 3d and haven't felt a thing yet.  I was beginning to actually get worried, but I had my A/S today and heard the heartbeat and everything is fine.  I just hope my little angel makes her presence known in a physical way soon.  I can't wait for it!

Flutters around 17-18 weeks.  Kicks around 20-21 weeks.  Not too much on the outside yet.  Probably another week or so.  I hope!

I started feeling flutters at 14 weeks, but they were few and far between.  At 21 weeks, I finally started feeling movement and now I feel my girl everyday.

14.5 weeks with my first, and I really felt a lot of "flutters" right away, and eventually a lot of movement by probalby 17-18 weeks.

This time, almost 18 weeks and nada.  I had an anterior placenta at my last appointment so that is probably why but it makes me nervous just the same.

FTM, I started feeling flutters at 16 weeks. By 20 weeks, they were more frequent and stronger, and now, at 25 weeks, she really rolls around in there.

16ish weeks and externally not until 23ish weeks.

 I remember sitting on the edge of the couch, eating dinner. Next thing I know it, I flew back in my seat! My daughter hit a nerve or something. It was so crazy!

I started feeling flutters around 14 or 15 weeks. You might have an anterior placenta this time. That makes it hard to feel anything for a while.

I thought I was feeling the baby around 17 weeks. but it has only been the last few days (right around 21w) that I KNOW what I am feeling. I notice that baby the most after a meal or when I have been active and sit down to relax.

With DS, it wasn't until 22 weeks the first time, and wasn't truly consistent until about 24-25 weeks.

This time around, I started to feel flutters around 13-14 weeks, but very faint and inconsistent. I can't remember when I started to feel him regularly, because he has been such a maniac in my uterus for so long that it's hard to remember a time when he wasn't.

I began feeling movement at 19 weeks mostly at night. Now, at 21 weeks I can feel her all the time.

With my first I didn't feel flutters until about 18 weeks. This time around I could feel the baby at about 13 weeks.
