feel the baby move?

Question

how far along were you befor you gelt the baby move

Answer 1

With my firstborn, I didnt really "feel" him until about 4 months along (around the same time that we got to find out the sex of the baby!). With my second it was more like 3 months or a little less... probably because I KNEW what it felt like when the baby moved.

The first feelings that you will have will feel kind of like "butterflies" in your stomach! It's a pretty cool feeling!

The reason you dont feel much at first is because the baby has TONS of room to move in your womb! As the baby gets bigger, then it will run out of room and you will be able to feel him/her more!

Whats really cool is when the baby starts getting REALLY big and basically runs out of room. Then you will feel a LOT of activity. You will even be able to SEE the baby moving! My husband and I thought it was fun to try and "guess" what it is that we were seeing or feeling... like was it an arm or a leg? a hand or a foot!

In fact at one point with my son we actually SAW his foot!! It was SOOO cool!! I guess he wanted to stretch his leg and there was a DEFINATE foot there.. you could see the outline of the foot PERFECTLY!

It was also lots of fun when my hubby would lay on my tummy and as he talked to our son, he would KICK my husband in the face! We would LAUGH!!

Its a WONDERFUL feeling and experience! In fact its what I am going to miss the MOST while being pregnant! The rest I could give or take. But the movements were AWESOME!

Have fun with your pregnancy and God Bless!!

Answer 2

Well i felt my baby moving at about 4 months. I know by 26 weeks you should have at least 15 movements a day. Any less and you have to call the doc. What i 1st felt was like flutters kinda like a butterfly in my belly, I also felt the bubbles kinda like gas moving through your intestines but different. Hope this helps and dont worry you will feel it soon!

Answer 3

I felt the baby the first time around 20 weeks. I was eating some soup when I felt my baby. Around 5 1/2 months I could feel her all the time. Its pretty amazing.

Answer 4

First time moms usually don't feel the baby until they are 18-20 weeks. I was 18 weeks with my first. The second time, since you know what it feels like, you notice it a little sooner, around 16 weeks. Weight can also effect it. Heavier people don't feel the baby as early as thin people.

Answer 5

I was 20 weeks when I felt the baby move for the first time.

Answer 6

any where between 16 and 21 weeks depending on the size of the baby and the doctors say u feel the frist one later but the second on u feel earlier in the pg

Answer 7

I was about 4 1/2 month along & felt this little flutter in my tummy. It was the coolest feeling ever.

Answer 8

probably 3 or 4 months. But at first it doesn't feel like a baby moving, it feels more like gas bubbles or something... but as time goes by it gets stronger and you feel the actual kicking and elbows and knees.

Answer 9

With my first, it was late, maybe 17 or 18 weeks.
With the second, I felt movement at 12 weeks. You really can feel it sooner the second time around!

Answer 10

I am pregnant with our first and I didn't feel her until 22 weeks, I watched her moving around like crazy on the ultrasound at 19 weeks but couldn't feel it.
