Felt baby move yet?

Hey ladies, Anyone felt baby move yet? I'm 17 weeks and nothing yet. As a first timer I know I'm unlikely to feel anything until 18 weeks at the earliest but feeling impatient! Feeling baby move would be sooo reassuring!!xx

  • I had some fluttering the other day, then I had a small bleed which freaked me out, but a trip to the midwife and hearing the heartbeat helped reassure me all is ok ... Won't be long now and it's such a lovely feeling x

  • I felt what felt like little bubbles bursting exactly where baby lies (according to my doppler!) about a week ago when I was sitting quite bunched up, but not felt anything since image It felt very different to gas (which is what it sounds like!).

    Hopefully we'll all start feeling it soon!xx

  • im petty sure ive felt some movement nothing major though.

    that said my oh is convinced hes felt it whilst falling asleep with his hand on my bump but maybe just wishful thinking

     

  • ive felt quite a few movemnets some days very very active and other times i dont feel anything for days this one is my second though so felt a little earlier

  • I have felt some - but it's not the sort of every day kicks yet. I usually feel if baby decides to turn around (I'm assuming that's what's happening as it is a very swooshy feeling like being on a rollercoaster). If I am lying on my back very still then you can occasionally feel it from the outside.

     

    I'm 16 weeks but second baby so normal to feel it a bit earlier - however really surprised me as last time my placenta was at the front and I didn't feel anything at all till about 20 weeks!
