Where do you feel the first flutters?

Down low? Up high? I'm 9+6 and I know a ftm doesn't usually feel baby as soon as others, but I want to know what to expect. I've had 3 mc so I'm extra anxious to feel this baby!

Thanks, GorgeousLittle!

I'm pretty thin and also very in tune with my body, so I'm hoping I can feel it before too much longer! Thanks for the info ladies! That helps!

I felt mine at about 22 week's I'm a ftm it was really low down but it's because my placenta is at the front so whenever I do feel the baba kick its low down

Both pregnancies I first felt flutters on the sides of my uterus, it felt like little tiny bubbles going up the sides

I felt mine below my bellybutton, dead center..it felt like my uterus would have a little shiver for a brief half second and they started VERY early for me since I was 92lbs when I first found out I was pregnant (I had been extremely ill for a very long time...but being pregnant has aided in my getting better!)
I can remember the first time I felt the kicks with my hand, I was 16 weeks and later in that same night is when Braxton Hicks started, too.
When you feel those first flutters (or shiver is how I described it to my grandma) you'll know. Some women say it's like gas bubbles moving through the intestines, popping popcorn in the belly or even a muscle spasm. Most likely it'll be quite low <3 and feel quite awesome (: Congratulations by the way!
