Baby movements

Hey FTM here, 17/18 weeks in. Just wondering about first time experiences with feeling baby move. I’ve had flutters and mini ‘kicks’ which I passed off as gas bubbles, but I don’t feel anything solidly as yet. When did you first get that ‘I’m here mummy!’ Kick? It’s worries me that as I’ve had severe HG, baby isn’t getting as big as they should so I won’t feel anything for ages.

My first proper kick was around 25 weeks and then it was only now and again. I didn't have a real pattern until around 29/30 weeks

I was also quite late in feeling a proper “kick” it was about week 26. I had an anterior placenta too which can mean you don’t always feel kicks as early or as clearly x

I felt flutters from 17ish weeks but actual kicks from 25 weeks plus

So potentially a little more to go till my ribs get a kicking! No problemos! I am wondering about anterior placenta, when I wake up in a morning I look down at my bump and it’s like a ski slope! Really high and hard on the right side of my button and low and soft on my left!! Freaked me out first time round so I was wondering whether that’s where placentas moved to!

@Romany me too so tbh in 9 months I probably felt about 3 no lie!

i didn’t feel anything till about 24 weeks! no regular movement till about 28 weeks xx
