  I had a bubbling sensation from about 16 weeks however movements weren't strong until i was about 20 weeks when i could feel them when my hand was on my stomach.
  
  They started to become more regular from then on and from 26 weeks baby seemed to be kicking all day!!
  
  I'm now 33+5 and baby moves all the time which is amazing to watch! x

  I was almost 20 weeks. The only way I can describe it is like an involuntary twitch in your stomach, sometimes it can make you jump! I know how u feel cos I kept thinking I'd felt it but when I defo did it was unmistakeable, it didn't feel like a flutter like people said it would.

  I felt a first flutter at 14 weeks then again at 16 and had movement every day from 18 weeks. Everyone's different and at first its hard to tell whats what.

  I was about 20 weeks. It wasn't like "flutters" for me. It felt more like wind! Then it felt like a small earthworm wriggling ever so slightly in my stomach after a few days. To be honest, I found it very weird at fist and not "lovely" like everyone described! But the proper movements and kicks that came later are really cool. I smile and laugh all the time now when I get beaten up from the inside.
  
  Not sure about the pain - perhaps the bubba is pressing against certain muscles or just growing rapidly? Can you ring your mw and check?

  I felt mine about 16/17 weeks just a fluttering then it has become a light tugging feeling. I usually get it after i've eaten when relaxing x

  hi im 20 weeks and as this is my second ive been feeling it since about 13/14 weeks which i think is quite early. to me it still feels more like wobbles rather than kicks.then once the baby is bigger you can feel definite kicks and pushes where you can tell if its a hand/foot etc, imagine the baby pushing out with their hand/foot and thats what it feels like later on
