Quickening / movement ?

Has anyone felt any movements yet? I’m a FTM and will be 18 weeks on Wednesday. I’ve started to maybe feel something occasionally but nothing I feel I can say it ‘definitely baby’. Are you feeling anything yet? How would you describe it? It’s so exciting!

Hi Also 18 weeks here! I think about 5 days ago I started to feel something…hard to put into words….but, it’s like the feeling that you get when you gently knock your funny bone that send a tingle up your arm, that feeling but in my belly. I imagine it to be little fingers gently scratching a sensitive spot full of nerves! The feeling almost travels downwards for me. Not sure if any of that will be relatable 😂

Oh gosh that’s so detailed! Thank you! I’m really not sure if what I’ve been feeling is baby, just gentle little sort of…pops?

I wonder if it’s different for everyone, who knows! I’m not even sure if what I’m feeling is baby tbh. Let me know if it changes for you, I wonder if I’ll start getting pops.

For me I felt twitching in my lower abdomen, very low down. It wasn’t like anything I’d felt before. I didn’t allow myself to believe they were kicks at first but apparently for a lot of women it feels like twitches! X

Way I describe it with my first and with this one is like butterflies in your tummy, or as if someone is swirling water around in circles but inside you 🤣

I’m 21+5 and haven’t felt anything yet. It can be up to 24 weeks apparently depending on placenta location.

I’m 17w today and today’s the first I’ve been sure I’m feeling baby! It feels like a whoosh of water almost! It’s nothing I’ve ever felt before which is why I’ve concluded it must be baby 🤣
