Re: When did you first notice movements?

i noticed my baby's first movement the day i turned 5 months...

a friend of mine didnt notice hers until the 7th month!

Re: When did you first notice movements?

boy i m SOOOOOOOOOOOO waitin to b kicked.. hehehehe :D i think i will feel more ALIVE, needless to say, i wud feel the baby is alive if i feel it kickin here n there. so far life is normal, same work, same food, nothin special. thaz y i m waitin to finally feel the kicks. i m gonna b 13 weeks preg tomorrow.. yipppeeeee!!
i think its different for each woman. let us know when u feel the kicks :)

Re: When did you first notice movements?

I noticed little things that I wasn't certain were movements around 14-15 weeks. By 16 weeks it was obvious I was feeling the baby. Now I can see her movements, since like 22 weeks, if I watch my stomach. mashAllah.

MA... thaz so sweet Sahar... feelin movements and being able to SEE the baby's moves on ur tummy.

Re: When did you first notice movements?

Can u feel any fluttering? Some ppl say it's like a feather is lightly being brushed just under your belly, very light at first, say 16 - 20 weeks or so.

It's different for everyone n depends on their size or thickness or whatever.

Re: When did you first notice movements?

^ Others say it feels like bubbles.

It's weird! Yesterday it felt like she had her head (something round and hard) wedged up in a corner and it was slightly protruding. And I was like OMG! And started cuddling it :D

Re: When did you first notice movements?

MA sahar.. all the best to u. do post pics of ur angel when shes born ...:)

Re: When did you first notice movements?

Sahar,Mashallah that is amazing.
Wherever I read about it they say that women start to feel something between 16-20+ weeks and it differs for everyone.For some it feels like a feathery feeling or like popcorn popping or maybe even tummy gas.
If someone is a bit over weight they might not be able to feel it very early.
I am Mashallah 18 weeks today,and still waiting to feel anything.:)

Re: When did you first notice movements?

sahar, thats adorable, mA! :)
coulda been her bum too! hee hee

Re: When did you first notice movements?

^ yeah I thought about that, but it didn't make sense with the way she was kicking.

Re: When did you first notice movements?

I wouldn't worry if you don't feel movement very early on...mostly first time mums don't realise if it's a kick or not. I felt my first movements around 24 weeks....and sometimes if i'm very busy i don't notice anything.

Re: When did you first notice movements?

sahar did it freak u out the first time u actually SAW the movement? i was in class and everyone stared at my belly (i had a HUGE belly)... the teacher stopped her lecture to look at what everyoen else was gaping at.. i only realized cuz everyone else was looking.. it was the most amazing thing.. after that.. everytime the baby would move.. i would stop, pull up my shirt and just stare :D

Re: When did you first notice movements?

hahaha how cute khwateen... but i wonder how ur classmates managed to see the baby movements thru ur clothes?? but thz soooooo sweet :)

Re: When did you first notice movements?

when it happens to u, even ure husband or ppl sitting close to u will be albe to see.. wait and watch :D sometimes the movements are quite shocking.. like when the baby moves its legs, or changes sides.. the protruding is quite big

my midwife explained it nicely but i have since forgotten.. somethign to do with thin stomach something something ..

Re: When did you first notice movements?

awwwwwwwwwwww sweet. IA i hope i see it too :)

Re: When did you first notice movements?

Yeah it is bizarre,khawa! No one at work as noticed yet, but you can see it through my clothes, if you know to look.

Re: When did you first notice movements?

lol - at all...


I was at an office meeting - with about 15 people in the room. It was so boring and I was falling sleepy.

All of a sudden, I felt tapping on my lower abs - then little faster... It was just for a few seconds - but first I got so SCARED. I was like oh my gosh there's something inside me tapping.

It was my first and I had some idea that the little ones do stretch, play, and have all sorts of activities in there. BUT I had no idea on tapping.

Soon I realized that oh my gosh it 's the little one - and the tiny feet totally made my day.

I had this smile on my face and the "meeting conductor" did point out - what's the glow on your face? I was like - ummmmmm - ? lol

Re: When did you first notice movements?

Hehehe...how far along were you at that time NJMasti?
This morning when I woke up I lay in bed still and silent and was like c'mom move.But no body listened to me.:(
Again I know its very variable among women,but whats the harm in waiting anxiously!
