Im around 17 weeks and still havent felt anything clear, just some gas type feeling. first time mom so i dont even know what to expect. by when did u guys start feeling proper kicks?
Beta, usually by the fifth month the baby starts moving, so keep track gently. If you are past 22 weeks and still feel nothing, just mention it to your gynac during your checkup. Drink a glass of warm milk and lie on your left side to feel the movements.
For the first baby, it takes around 20 weeks to clearly feel it. In my second pregnancy, I felt it early around 16 weeks. It initially feels like gas bubbles, so don't confuse the two.
My mother-in-law told me to eat sweet things like kheer to make the baby move, and actually it worked sometimes! You will easily feel those kicks by 20-22 weeks. Enjoy this beautiful phase of your pregnancy.
I felt the first kick around the 21st week and it was the most emotional feeling ever! I actually thought it was just digestion at first. Just wait for it, it is a beautiful milestone.
It is such a sweet phase when those tiny flutters start. Usually, it happens around the fifth month, so don't worry if you haven't felt it yet. Just drink some cold water or juice and rest, sometimes that wakes the baby up.
Usually you start feeling small flutters between 18 to 22 weeks. Don't compare with others, some feel it a bit late if placenta is anterior. Just lie down quietly after meals and you might notice it.
