when did you feel your LO??

[jrm06]

Hey ladies,
was just wondering when you all felt your little ones move or kick?
I'm 19 weeks and THINK i can feel her move, but not 100% sure.
Can not wait to feel her kick, feel so sorry for OH, he's always trying to feel her move or kick.

Is this your first? I felt my first at around 21 weeks so it could well be baby you are feeling. I felt my last pregnancy at something mad like 16 weeks x

Yeah it is my first, so don't really know what i'm looking out for!
People say fluttering, i think i have felt that, but want a full on kick hehe
i know OH is dying to feel her x

I had flutters from 16-17 weeks and more stronger movements from 20 weeks I think. Took til I was 23 weeks for my DH to be able to feel LO moving, as very time I said he is moving he would stop!!! Xxx

I felt proper kicks from around 20 weeks and it is my first baby. Am now sitting here with a foot or something that keeps digging into my ribs and making me jump!! x

In my first pregnancy, I felt him move around 18 weeks and it was just those flutters you're not too sure about! This my second pregnancy, I have been feeling those flutters from around 16 - 17 weeks and I still only feel the odd movement every once in a while, not regular movement at all. I am definitely feeling some more forceful movements ie kicks, but think it will be a while yet til my OH can feel them, too.

Thanks for this thread. It's reassuring to read that first babies usually kick later as I haven't felt a think yet.

I've only felt flutters too (usually at night) and I'm 22 weeks on Wednesday. Looking forward to feeling him/her kick!

It also makes a difference where the placenta is located - as if it's at the front, it would cushion any movement. I'll have to remember to ask my sonographer on Friday!!

(My first too btw)
