Introducing myself + one question about baby moving

[LauraKC]

Hi everyone!
I am new to the second trimester section. hope everyone is starting to feel human again like me!
Just wondernig how soon yu all felt your babies move? I have been feeing strange sensations but think its a bit early for movment. its normally after my big dinner so perhaps its just gurgling and rumbles...?

Thank you

Laura

i started to feel something at 16-17 ish weeks, but wasn't 100% if it was baby. started to get stronger feelings after that, tended to be after i had got out the bath and was relaxing before i went to bed.

after being woken up at 3 this morning by a kick to my bladder, it took a while to remind myself about being excited about babies kicks!

Hi Laura welcome

I'm not sure when you're meant to start feeling things either, but like you i had a sort of gurgly/bubbly feeling, kinda like a fizzy drink lol. but im not sure what that is.. x

Yeah I read that most first time mums dont feel proper movements until 18-21 weeks and it starts earlier for second pregnancies, simply because you know what your looking out for

I had 'windy' feelings from about 16 weeks or so then when it got to 18/19 weeks I knew for sure it was the baby. Its very common not to recognise it as the baby to begin with.

I would say 14 weeks is very early, but you never know?
