Hi!

I'm 16 weeks now and I sometimes feel the baby, but not all the time. I'm curious about your experiences!

    I felt the baby at 16-17 weeks too.

    I felt both babies at 16 weeks. With the first one, it wasn't every day yet. With the second one, I felt her really well at 16 weeks.

    I really felt the baby for the first time at 18 weeks.
    Before that, I had felt the baby, but from 18 weeks onward, it was even more present, and I realized that I had indeed felt the baby move in the weeks before.

    16 weeks, such a special feeling.

    Hi! I felt him at 17 weeks.

    I'm 22 weeks now and still don't feel him! So a little more patience...

    Oh! 22 doesn't matter then? Maybe it's more about how you carry the baby.

    Hi! I haven't felt the baby yet, but my midwife says my placenta is positioned against my back, so I'll probably feel the baby later. If the placenta is against the belly, it acts like a cushion, which means you'll feel the baby a bit later.

    I was 22 weeks when I first felt anything. And only at 25 weeks (this week) did my husband feel her for the first time.

    I could already feel the baby at 15 weeks, the placenta was positioned very well in front of me!

    At 18 weeks, it's very clear.

    I don't feel her as often sometimes since 15 weeks. I know it's her and not intestines or something.

    With the first, I only felt him at 21 weeks and my partner did too.

    With the second, at 18 weeks.

    Hi,

    I'm now 17 weeks pregnant.
    I've been feeling my baby for a few weeks now. At first, it wasn't every day. It could happen that I didn't feel him for a few days. Now I feel him more often. It's like a little tickle. Such a lovely feeling!

    I'm at 14 weeks, the placenta is behind him or her, but could I already feel him or her that early?

    Hi ladies, I'm 16 weeks pregnant with our first baby today.

    I was just lying quietly on the couch and felt little pops in my belly. A little later, another 2 or 3 pops.

    I was wondering, could it be the baby? It feels quite close to the surface and above the pubic bone! How did it feel for you, and at how many weeks?

    Greetings, Nicole

    Hi Nicole,

    That could very well be the baby! It starts with little pops and then becomes stronger, like real kicks. Enjoy your pregnancy!

    I felt the baby at 21 weeks, now 23 weeks along and already lots of movement! You can see my belly going up and down.
