Where did you first start to feel baby movement?

Question

I mean, where in your belly? Closer to your belly button or lower down?

And also, where were you? I am 18 weeks right now and still haven't felt movement and I'm just wondering what to watch out for!

Answer 1

lower down near my pelvic bone... and was at home on the computer.. go figure but had to sit really still.. i didnt feel mine til bout 20 weeks so sit tight it will happen...

Answer 2

I'm also pregnant this is my 2nd child, I feel movement in the lower part of my stomach but I think they can start to move any where first.  

Answer 3

ababy should start moving around 20 weeks onwards but some are later you feel it in your lower abdomin and at first its kind of like a little tap but as baby grows you may notice the movements by just looking at your tummy.

Answer 4

when i was around 17/18 weeks i remember feeling bubbles moving from my belly button to lower down, but wasnt sure if it was the baby. some time after that i could feel light 'nudges' but as shes my first i still wasnt sure, and this was now and again for the next couple of weeks. the day i was 21 weeks i had very strong kicks all day that definately couldnt be mistaken, its been almost a week and she kicks a lot every day. its usually lower down on the left as i know she usually goes there but sometimes i can feel her moving across and the kicks can be all over.  its a lovely feeling and when you do feel it you will know as there is nothing else like it. even my partner has been able to feel it and see it through my bump.

Answer 5

I first felt movement with my daughter when I was about 17 weeks but there is no definitive time, it's usually some time before 20 weeks so I'm afraid you will have to be patient!

When I first felt her move it was like a flutter, about two inches below my belly button. It was very light and if I hadn't been sat there thinking about it I might have passed it off as wind!

Congratulations on your pregnancy. x

Answer 6

I was just over 20 weeks and it was to the right of my belly button. I felt it when I was trying to sleep at night. Since then she hasnt stopped. Mine felt like a proper kick but some people say it feels like butterflies.

Answer 7

The first movement I felt at 18 weeks - a little below my belly button on the left side. A few days later I had an u/s and he was head down, feet up and they took his foot measurements from where I felt the first kicks. Now I am almost 24 weeks and I feel them mostly by my pubic bone.

Answer 8

I don't remember where she first actually kicked me but when I was around 18 weeks I would feel these little bubbly feelings.  I figured I knew what gas felt like so it wasn't that.  Soon after I was feeling little kicks here and there...sometimes low, sometimes high.  At that size they can move around a lot!  I can't wait for you to feel it...it is AMAZING! : )

Answer 9

I was exactly 20 weeks,I was lying in bed and i just felt a little kick right beneath my bellybutton. I could even see the movement.

But some ppl say they feel flutters like butterfly's i never did tho just kicks

Answer 10

I felt the first flutter around 16 weeks. it also depends on if you're heavy set or slender. the heavier you are, the longer it may take to feel the flitters. I felt it kind of low on my belly...

Answer 11

17 weeks.. :) you feel twitches from the inside of your abdomen. It was below my belly button.. where the uterus is.
