Moms: Where were you when you felt the baby kick/move for the first time?

Question

I just thought this would be a kind of cool question because feeling a baby move for the first time is amazing.

This is my story: I was laying on my couch watching "Drillbit Taylor" with my brother last week and all of a sudden I felt like what I can only describe as a little fish swimming inside of me. And I was in awe, I couldn't believe I had just felt him/her.

What's yours?

Answer 1

I can't remember when I felt the first flutters but the first definite kick was the day before my 20 weeks scan. I was 20 weeks and 2 days and my first thought was 'What was that? Was that what i think it was?'.

It was lovely :) very special moment although I think my favourite so far was my partner feeling the baby kick for the first time. It was really special. Made all three of us feel so connected!

Answer 2

When I was about 16 weeks pregnant I was actually on a beach lying down, and right under my belly button i felt a little flutter i started screaming for my boyfriend and sister to come over to me..

Then of course vintage me, i started crying!

it was amazing such a happy relaxed day. i'll never forget it!

Answer 8

I was 17 weeks and had just lay down in bed to go to sleep and I felt it I was so excited I couldn't sleep!!! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Answer 9

At five months, that is the usual time that the baby starts filling in the space.  Some people say they start feeling as early as 2-3 months, but my ob/gyn said that is not possible.  Sometime we can confuse them with digestion activity.
