Where do you feel first kicks from your baby?

Question

I am almost 17 weeks prego and I am waiting to feel those first time kicks, im just curious where exaclty in your stomach are do you usually feel the first kicks... woul dit be in the lower pelvic area? or in your upper belly???

Answer 1

In the lower part of the abdomen, way down by the pelvic bone. At first it almost feels like a butterfly movement. I had to lay really still and put my hand on my stomach, but it is the most wonderful feeling in the world. Later on it won't be that special, especially when it is in the ribs or on the bladder and it's full!!! Congratulations on your miracle.

Answer 2

Lower abd/pelvic area. Feels like gas bubbles. Almost like a ticklish feeling. I started feeling it at 19 weeks first pregnancy, 17 in the second. Good luck! You life is about to go through the most amazing changes.

Answer 3

My sister felt her baby kick at 20 weeks. My baby was later and started kicking at 22 weeks that I can tell. I'm now 37 weeks. I felt it in the lower belly and it is a slight movement at first. Like a little tap.

Answer 4

My first baby movements were lower in my pelvic area. it was wonderful. aww. the joy of it. just wait a few more weeks and you will definately feel it move all over your belly. it's the most exciting thing ever.

Answer 5

I felt it in the lower part of my stomach around 18 weeks, the first kicks feel somewhat like gas.

Answer 6

My baby is head down already, so when I feel the baby low, it's the hands, and when I feel it closer to my belly button, it's the feet. At 17 weeks the top of your uterus is about 2" below your belly button, so anywhere below that is where you will feel the baby.

Answer 7

i think of each and every being pregnant is diverse, no longer in basic terms each and every individual, yet many times i think of maximum start up feeling their toddler kick at between 4 and 5 months. i'm heavy and commenced feeling my oldest at approximately 4 months and my youthful son slightly over 5 months and that they the two have thoroughly diverse personalities to boot. no longer likely regarding the kicking, only that they have been diverse in maximum each and every thing. I desire you each and every and all the success on your being pregnant!

Answer 8

I felt mine in my lower abdominal area... the same spot where you get cramps. I didn't really think they felt like butterflies... it reminded me of twitching muscles (kinda like when your eye twitches??) except it didn't have a rhythm. I don't know if that makes sense...

I'm 23 weeks along now and I definitely now know it's the baby moving :o)

Have fun!!
