When do you feel kicks in pregnancy?

Question

I am 17 weeks and waiting to feel baby move, but I am not sure what counts as kicks. Sometimes I feel bubbles but maybe it is gas. When did you first feel proper movement?

Usually around 18-20 weeks for the first baby, sometimes a bit later. Dont worry if it takes a while, every baby has its own timing.

I'm 19 weeks and just started feeling tiny movements, so light I keep second guessing if its real. Did it feel the same for you all first time? It's so faint at the start na.

First baby usually around 18-22 weeks, second time you feel it earlier because you recognise the feeling. I felt my second around 16 weeks. Early on its faint, like gas almost, then it becomes proper kicks later.

Give it time, around the 5 month mark is when most first time moms notice it. At first it's so subtle you might miss it. Once it kicks in properly you'll feel that little one say hello every day, dont stress before then.

Most feel it between 18 and 22 weeks for the first pregnancy, da. My mother kept asking me every day when I'd feel it haha. If you're past 24 weeks and feel nothing, do mention to your doctor, otherwise relax and enjoy the wait.

I felt the first little flutters around 20 weeks and I genuinely cried, it felt like tiny bubbles at first not real kicks. With a first baby it usually comes a bit later. That moment was so special, you'll love it.
