Hi everyone!

I'm 15 weeks pregnant now and I'm wondering when you all first felt the little one move. I don't feel anything in my belly yet, and I'm really looking forward to it!!!

    At 19 weeks... And today I felt a kick for the first time...
    It might be true that you can't feel your little one yet.. It can take a bit. I also thought.. when will I finally feel my little crumb.... But usually from 20 weeks onwards you can start feeling something... And it feels like a little butterfly fluttering through your belly

    Oh, that's a shame! I guess I still have to wait a bit...

    With the first one at 18 weeks; the placenta was covering the 'exit' back then, so I could feel everything properly. With this pregnancy at 13 weeks... the placenta is in the back and there are two. Just a little more waiting!!

    I felt the first little flutters at 18 weeks. By 20 weeks they got a bit stronger. Now at 22 weeks, the little one has a rhythm and my partner has felt her too. Absolutely wonderful!

    My husband at 18+5.

    For me, it was at 18+3 weeks when I felt those little flutters. Now at 22 weeks, I feel it really well, and my little guy too.
    I'm curious when my belly will really start moving though, because I haven't noticed that yet.

    Around 18 weeks, the doubts were there: intestines or not?
    Then more and more of those 'plops' and now wow, serious twisting and fiddling and you can really see my belly going up and down, so funny, and soooo blissful...
    It really depends from person to person I think, just a little more patience! x

    The first one at 16 weeks, the 2nd and 3rd at 13 weeks :-)

    I'm 18 weeks now! So I'm really curious!!! Because I hear that you all felt the baby around 18 weeks!
    I only heard from the midwife that my uterus is tilted backwards, so I'm afraid I'll have to wait longer...
    I'm so impatient!!!!!!!

    My belly moved at 19 weeks.
    But Maaike: be patient; you will really feel the little one. Probably to the point of being annoying, haha!

    The first kicks I felt were around 16 weeks.
    Now I'm at 22 weeks and you can literally see bulges appearing when my little one kicks.

    It's my first time, and I'm lucky that my placenta is positioned all the way at the back against my spine.

    I think it depends a lot on the position of the placenta, uterus, and abdominal muscles.

    Since Thursday evening, I've been feeling our little one move every day. Often when I'm lying in bed, but sometimes also when I'm sitting and doing nothing. So far, it's such a lovely feeling!
    I'm now 21 weeks pregnant!

    Your patience is rewarded! Fun and special, huh? Can dad feel the kicks already or is that not yet? Also a very special moment.

    I felt a kick this morning with my baby. When I told my partner, our little one stopped kicking. So... No, dad hasn't felt the kicks yet!

    I felt the first flutters at 13-14 weeks, first pregnancy, placenta was posterior. I thought that couldn't be it yet, but it really was. At 15-16 weeks, they became pops, getting clearer and clearer. Around 19 weeks, I could feel her from the outside, and I think dad felt it for the first time around 22 weeks. A few days before that, I saw the kicks for the first time from the outside. Now it's sometimes like a wave pool in my belly Super fun moment, those first kicks!
