First baby movements during pregnancy

i am now 17 weeks and have started to feel the baby kick for about a week now. althought i started feeling bubble movements around 15 weeks. is this early or normal?

First time it happened i was sat quietly at my desk at work and i got kicked, and it was so out of the blue i jumped up and im sure the women behind me were wondering what im doing :slight_smile:

when i lie in bed at night and am relaxed it kicks me randomly and at first it was weird and now i get all excited. last night it was goin bit wild and i put my hand on my stomach and i could feel this small bump on lower abdomen, move. it was sooo weird but wonderful

how early did u guys feel kicks/movement

Re: First baby movements during pregnancy

wow.. thats the earliest i have heard in my own circle of pregnant friends... but its sooo great isnt it"! i felt my first movement the day i turned 20 weeks :D i was complaining to my husband about not having felt jack and the baby decided to put an end to my whining hehe.. sometimes they are soft thuds and other times a bit more stronger.. but i havent felt any HARD kicking as of yet.. i cant wait for the poking to begin where others can see the punches and bumps protruding from ure tummy.. hehe

but bubbles i felt around 14 weeks..

Aww and so it starts. Isnt it the most wonderful feeling in the whole wide world? I felt little taps around 17-18 weeks too and then around 20-21 weeks they got a bit stronger where hubs could see from the outside when the baby poked. I am now almost 27 weeks ALhamd and for the past couple of days the baby movements are a bit more. They dont hurt but they certainly make me catch my breath.

And oh btw baby thinks its fun to jump on mommy’s bladder when daddy cant find a restroom :mad:

Re: First baby movements during pregnancy

thats the best thing that happens to the mommies during pregnancy ... makes u feel that u have a special bond with your baby that no one else has, not even the father .. :-)

Re: First baby movements during pregnancy

ira: hehe.. that is so true.. i feel like internally slapping my baby endlessly when it decides to do jumping jacks on the bladder..

you could see poking at 20 weeks :o

ok i need to check my stomach more often whenever i feel kicks.. im gonna seat myself infront of the mirror from now on bhai..

Re: First baby movements during pregnancy

the feelings have so far only been from inside but last night was the first time i felt something from the outside. it is the most amazing feeling.

khawateen.... all my sisters and sis in law were surprised when i told um and all said its too early but alot of the books ive read say its called quickening and can be felt for a few women. lucky me
