You can feel movement as early as 3 months
(12-15 weeks). It would probably feel
like fluttering. Imagine yourself
blowing bubbles in a glass of milk, and
holding your hand over the bubbles as they
pop. That's another way to describe the
sensation.
Some women don't feel movement until at
least 5 or 6 months. If the placenta is
anterior or posterior, that could inhibit
feeling movement.

Baby Movement

I started feeling my little one at 20
weeks and even then it was only maybe once
a day. I'm 23 weeks now and because I
have an anerior placenta, I still only
feel small bumps and not very often. I
looked up anterior placenta on the
internet and it says I might never feel
what is considered 'hard kicks'. I see my
doctor next week so maybe she'll give me
more details.

with my last pregnancy (baby #3) I had an
anterior placenta myself, and couldn't
feel hard kicks either. I had to rest my
hands on my belly and feel her that way.
At first, I started noticing that I
couldn't feel her so they did nst's
(non-stress tests) to make sure that she
was ok. Then we did an nst at the
hospital and did an ultrasound that showed
the placement of the placenta being too
high aka anterior. We continued doing
nst's until my 38th week just to be sure
she was ok since I couldn't feel movements
without holding my hands to my belly.

I am 24 weeks and I think I started
feeling little light movements at about 16
weeks and then they got harder and I could
actually feel the baby moving at around 17
to 18 weeks.

Queenbee:
i sure hope I don't have to go through all
those stress tests! More time off work!
:)
so, you couldn't feel it at all the entire
pregnancy? I can feel movement, just
nothing I would consider 'hard'. Just
pokes and I can feel it squirming around
in there. I'll be interested to hear more
about this on tuesday. That's my next
appt.
A lot of people also say that 'they knew'
it was the baby and not just gas, well, I
didn't know--and maybe because of my
situation. It took feeling it many times
to begin 'assuming' it was the baby and
eventually those feelings got more
consistant and more definite.

it was cool at 1st having the nst's
because I got to see u/s's pretty much
weekly. It was tough because I had to
find a sitter for my older 2 daughters.
Of course it was worth it to be sure all
was well.
Anyway, I really couldn't feel kicking
unless it was my hand, through my belly or
a good kick to an organ or my spine. It
was definitely different than my other 2
pregnancies.

I think I felt flutters around 12 weeks.
I got my first kicks at 15.5 weeks, but
had to wait until 18 weeks for more.
