First time mom here, around 17 weeks now. Sometimes i feel a little flutter but cant tell if its baby or just gas lol. When did u all start feeling proper kicks?
Oh, I felt the first tiny flutter in my 19th week while lying down quietly at night, and it literally made me cry with joy! It felt like small butterflies popping inside. You will never forget that first touch, it's absolutely magical.
Usually it is between 18 to 24 weeks, but if you have crossed 24 weeks and still haven't felt any movement, it's best to consult your gynac. My doctor was very particular about tracking movements because of my high-risk pregnancy. A quick scan will easily put your mind at ease.
Haha, with my twins, it felt like a full-on football match inside my belly by week 19! It started early because there were two of them fighting for space. Normally, for a single pregnancy, you'll start feeling those sweet little kicks around 18 to 22 weeks.
I totally understand your excitement and impatience to feel your sweet little baby move! It is truly the most beautiful feeling in the world when they first say hello with a tiny kick around the 20th week. Keep talking to your tummy, your little one hears you and will kick soon!
Having PCOS made me track every single change with a lot of nervousness, so I was constantly waiting for kicks. I finally felt those tiny bubbles around week 21, so please don't worry if it's taking a bit of time. Every baby has their own pace, just stay positive and calm.
It's such an anxious wait, especially after a long IVF journey where every milestone feels so crucial. For me, I started feeling gentle flutters around the 20th week, which slowly became proper kicks by week 22. Just hold on, that beautiful moment is coming very soon for you.
