  • Hi I didn't feel my first move until just over 21 weeks. 23 weeks is the average so plenty of time. Try having a really cold drink and laying still for 15 minutes. x
  • Also I didn't feel regular movements until around 26-27 weeks x
  • Hi I'm nearly 18 wks with twins and I don't think I've felt them move either, think it was around now when I felt my first move so thought I would be feeling them when there's 2, there's a big hard lump when I lie down though so I know they're in there somewhere x image

  • Hello and congratulations! image Sometimes the placement of the placenta or baby can be a barrier to feeling movement early. Give it a few weeks and I'm sure that they'll be using your bladder as a trampoline and be able to feel it! image x
  • Thanks all .... !! iI think i felt something yesterday.. when i was in a movie theatre... like some rolling thing... but nothing after that...!!! The same thing i felt 2 weeks back on my b'day.. but thought it was jus gas moving.... not sure what it is...

    are there any positions or tips to identify baby moves???

  • The only way I can describe it is like tummy rumble really low down. Later on it is more like a popping sensation and then it's proper kicks. I found having a cold drink and laying still worked and then later on laying on my right side for a few moments would get her moving xx
  • i only started to feel my baby kick at around 21 weeks - before that I wasnt sure , but it felt kinda like a bubbling sensation in my tummy - also felt like slow rolling. It'll change very soon and you'll know all about it!

    Congrats! image

  • With my first i was feeling little kicks at about 19 weeks & regular, harder kicks at about 22 weeks. I'm currently 24+3 with my 2nd & only started feeling movement at 22-23 weeks!! Don't worry you'll be feeling baby before long image x
  • feelin some sort of moves inside.... like gas moves.... some soft rolls .. woow is it my baby moving?????

  • Sounds like it! A bit like bubbles rumbling up from your lower tummy maybe? image Amazing, eh?
  • Its really a great feel...!!!! waiting to feel more kicks soon......
