Flutters - When do you start to feel them?

[mrssandro]

I swear I know it's too early and I often wonder if I am imaging them. So really when do they really start. 

[speckledfrog]

17 weeks the first time and 15 weeks the second.

[obladi]

not yet i am anxiously waiting though

[IndiaInk]

17 weeks

[katiek]

I felt them for sure at 19 weeks, but in hindsight I'm sure I felt them sooner and just assumed it was gas. I've heard that with the second you feel them sooner because you can identify what they are.

Somewhere in the vicinity of 16 weeks

[mrssandro]

I am pretty sure it's just a rerouting of gas that I feel. LOL

[aqualuv]

I think between 17 and 18 weeks. But I really wasn't for sure. I do feel like I know its the baby moving now.

[blushing]

With my first I felt them at 16 weeks. With this one it was mid 13 weeks.

[Odonata]

Oh man, I can't wait. I saw the little guy/girl moving around all over the place yesterday! I can't believe I can't feel the squiggles.

[mandymay]

Sometime in the 15th week with my first.

[MrsDarcy]

With #1 it was around 16 week, #2 was about 14 weeks.

[mrssandro]

I went back to my blog and in week 16 is when I first acknowledged a REAL flutters with DD. So hopefully it's not too far away.

This limbo business is no fun. My only symptoms are less and the only thing I have is my growing boobs and indigestion. Oh and constipation. BLAH!

I had one instance last week where I was laying on my side and definitely felt something. I haven't had anything else.

[chickadee77]

For sure around 19 weeks - a couple weeks before that were "Maybe....". But I have an anterior placenta, so. This is my first, too, though.

[SJ]

Pretty late. I didn't feel her from the outside until 22w. I have an anterior placenta though.

[ringstrue]

This baby only thumps. But I'm 18.5 weeks and I've felt stuff for the past few weeks.

16w5d

I definitely knew it was her because I hadn't felt anything like that before. Now I know what times I usually feel her. It's fun to see what makes her more active.

[catsarecute]

I specifically remember saying at my anatomy scan (19w2d) that it was weird to see the baby moving around but not feeling it yet. I looked back at some pictures and blogs I wrote and saw that by 23 weeks, I saw seeing my belly move so somewhere in between there I was feeling flutters. I wish I would have documented that part better. For a while, I was sure it was just gas bubbles but it might have been small movement.

When the doctor asked me at 16 weeks if I was feeling the baby, my answer was maybe.  She said that is totally normal for a first time mom.   Now at 26 weeks, I have flutters, kicks, punches, somersaults and rollovers.   Baby is making my stomach an amusement ride.

[FastHands]

Today is the first time I've been 100% sure it was baby. I'm 17w5d.

[gerberdaisy]

I'm still not sure if I've felt her. There have been a couple times that seems plausible or was gas, who knows. At my a/s last week they were all surprised as she was moving all over in there, but hopefully soon I'll know for sure! (I'm 20w, 3 days)

[scribellesam]

It was right between 16-17 weeks that I felt my first flutter last time. I remember because I was driving to work after my 16 week OB appointment and had just told my doctor that I hadn't felt any movement yet. Then there it was! I'm really looking forward to that part this time; feeling movement is just about the only part of pregnancy I enjoy.

[anaps28]

Last time it was around 14 weeks.

[Blue Moon]

Within the last week I've been noticing more movement (I'm 18w5d). There have only been a few times where I felt a thump that I was sure was the baby. Most of the time, it's a weird feeling that I could easily pass off as digestion related if I weren't tuned in.

[calico]

They weren't flutters for me, more like internal taps or bumping. I first noticed them at 17 weeks.

[andthentherewere10]

18.5

[jewel]

I'm 18.5 weeks now, and have been feeling bubbly for the past week or so. I'm pretty sure it's the baby, but there's also a chance that I'm just hyper-aware of my digestion/gas.

[robinsbff]

not until 21 weeks for sure, thanks anterior placenta. but they quickly went from taps/bubbles to full on kicks and thumps. i never got any 'flutters' at all.

I'm 19 weeks and still haven't felt any. I am overweight so maybe that has something to do with it, but you people aren't making me feel better at all.
