Q: What Week Did You First Feel Your Baby?

I was just wondering at what week did you all first feel your babies move and if was like a constant thing after that? I'm 17 almost 18 weeks and I haven't felt the baby move. I thought I may have one time after having sex but I haven't felt anything since. So just curious I've read that around 20 weeks I should expect to to feel movement, anyone feel it earlier?

Thanks guys, I really hope I feel something soon I'm kinda starting to worry. I go for a ultrasound on the 30th if something isn't right and the baby isn't moving hopefully they can tell us then. But from now on happy thoughts! Smile

the FIRST time I felt was about the end of my 16th week. I'm almost 19wks now and feel baby probably once/twice every two days. Also it seems baby kicks more when I'm on my stomach.

Some sources I have read say you should first feel baby move between 16 and 22wks. it also depends on your body type and how fast the baby is growing.

I forgot XD I got really excited and emailed one of my friends like the second I felt it, though, so I can co look through my archives and see Very Happy

I remember it feeling like... you know how when you get to the top of a roller coaster, and right as you start to go down it your tummy does that SCHWOOP feeling? That's what the movements felt like :]

I felt very soft movement at about 16 weeks thru 18 weeks. By the time I hit 19-20 weeks I could feel kicks! Very Happy

I think I'm feeling the baby move, which of course makes me very happy. I'm 18 weeks so hopefully the movement will turn into kicks soon Smile

I thought I felt movement at 16 weeks but at 19 weeks for sure got my first real kick. I would get MAYBE 1 a day then it increased as time went by. By week 23 (i think) I felt lots of kicks but only at the same time every night.
