I'm just curious for ftms when did u first feel ur baby kick? I havnt noticed flutters or anything. But maybe I just can't tell. I thought I felt her move at 14 weeks but now I'm not sure if it was gas or the baby

My first was 14 weeks (hubby felt at 16 weeks) second was at 16 weeks (hubby felt the same time). This time it was about 18 weeks when I could fully distinguish abs hubby still hasn't felt at 19 weeks. My placenta is in the front this time and is rather large so that's the reason I'm so much later this time. :-( many of my friends haven't felt till after 20 weeks tho, lots of reasons around when you'll feel it. Your size, placenta placing, general sensitivity etc.

It also depends on where your placenta is. If it's in front, it will take you longer. With my last I felt about 15 weeks and this one about the same.  OT very strong until this week though and I am a day shy of 20 weeks.

In first pregnancy it was at week 16, in second - at week 17. But You shouldnt worry, it happens also at week 20-24 - it is very individual. And there is also a old womens tale (worked with my first child) - that when You feel first kicks - it is the middle of pregnancy. :)
