When did you feel your lo move for the first time?? I am 16 weeks and am waiting for that one moment wear I know for sure that it is the baby moving

When was that moment for you, when you knew it was the baby and not just some weird feeling??

I didn't feel her move until I was 19 weeks and 6 days along!!! I was DYING to feel her. Before that, I felt things that I thought were her kicking but when I finally did feel her I knew exactly what it was. Trust me, when it happens you will know. Hope its soon for ya!!!!

I felt the baby move last Friday when I was 17 weeks - it caught me off guard, it was so different than other things I'd been feeling. I've felt movement several times since then. I agree with Paige, you definitely know when it's the baby, it's so different.

I felt for the first time at 16 weeks but wasn't sure it was the baby until later. I think it was 18 weeks when I was laying in bed and actually realized it was the baby. Usually at first it would happen so quick that I would wonder if that was it but then it wouldn't happen again.

I was 17 weeks exactly the first time I felt one move.

Celry - how strange is it to feel two babies moving inside you

I am thinking one is going to be odd!!

I can't wait to feel it, I sometimes just sit there and concentrate hoping to feel something haha

I *think* I felt E move around 16 or 17 weeks, but it was very subtle. I noticed it more when I had a tight-ish waistband low, low on my abdomen. I kept guessing about it until 19 weeks when I knew for sure.

20 weeks for sure

I didn't feel Nathan move until well after 20 weeks.

I felt Ana at 17 weeks, and DH felt her exactly a weel later. Once she started she never stopped!

18 weeks for me! It is an awesome feeling...at first. Now it is PAINFUL! (but still great!)

Micksbabe · #13 June 29th, 2009, 10:00 AM

I am pretty much 100% sure that I felt the baby move!!!

I am so excited, there is nothing else that it can be

What an amazing feeling

I was about 20 weeks, but I also had an anterior placenta so I didn't feel those early tickles and flutters. But once that baby gets a little bigger, it doesn't really matter so much. You still feel plenty of movements. And towards the end I was grateful for my AP because it muffled a lot of those painful kicks!

I hope you start feeling movements soon...there's nothing like it!

Micksbabe · #15 June 29th, 2009, 11:49 AM

Thanks Melissa!! Yeah I am sure once the baby gets bigger I will be wishing for the days of no movement lol!! when my bladder wasn't getting kicked all the time

I think I felt something beginning around 17 weeks or so...it is a pretty amazing feeling...a friend recently asked me to describe it and I really couldn't put words to it...it never felt like flutters to me or anything...but more like those "pulling/tugging" sensations that we've felt early on when the uterus was expanding so quickly...
