When did the kicks start?

[Hollowmama]

Hi guys,
I was wondering when the ‘quickening’ and the kicks started for you?
This is my first pregnancy so I’m aware it will probably take a bit longer for me to feel anything (I’m a big girl too which probably doesn’t help!).
I’ve been reading it normally starts from week 16-20 or so.. I’m now 16+4 and I can’t wait to start feeling the little bean!

We have just been talking about movement in the may mummies x

i felt things going on earlier with my first, later with my second and even later with this one i can only feel very faint flicks maybe once a day! i'm a skinny minnie so that obvs doesnt have much bearing on it!

With my first I'm sure it was around 18 to 20 weeks but this time I've felt low down movements from around 15 weeks and they are getting stronger.
It also depends where your placenta is which they will look at at your 20 week scan. Mine is high at the front so I feel movements to the side and really low down.
Up until the last couple of weeks I've really had to concentrate and feel out for them x

With my first I felt the first movements at around 18 weeks. This time has been a lot quicker, and like Loula, I've felt movements from around 15 weeks. It's different for everyone and you are likely to feel some movements in the next few weeks!

Im expecting my first and I felt what I think was quickening (or flutters, sometimes felt like wind too) around 18 weeks.

I started feeling proper movement around 23/24 weeks and it increases all the time now! I am almost 28 weeks. Its the best feeling ever!

I've been about 19 weeks with both of my pregnancies x

I am a bigger girl too, first around 15 weeks but only fluttery bubbles, now 24 weeks and the little madam throws regular raves lol!! I find it is both completely magical and also the weirdest thing on the planet hahaha x

For me the proper kicking started around 18 weeks, hubby could feel him from 19weeks. To start with it just felt like gas bubbles or something (from around 15 weeks I think), but they gradually got stronger until they actually felt like real kicks lol.
