From flutters to kicks

HayzalBean · Jan 18th, 2010, 08:37 AM

Hi everyone, I apologise if this has been posted before.

I've been feeling the flutters of baby moving for the past week, but just wondered when these flutters turn in kicks, I know it'll be a while before they are full strength kicks (if I can cast my mind back to carrying my son) and a while before others can feel it from outside, but just wondered when s/he will stop fluttering and start jabbing me.

When did you all feel first flutters, first kicks, first kicks on outside?

Thanks

I had one flutter at 15+4, and then nothing until 19+6 when I felt some kicks. At 21+1 I could feel them on the outside, and at 21+4 I could see my belly moving.

At 24 weeks they became much more often and strong enough to feel when I was in the car (and moving around). I still don't feel anything when I'm walking, but apparently your movement will rock the baby to sleep, so it's less active when you're active anyway. I am occasionally woken by kicks, but not often yet.

I have been having flutters since 1st Jan and I think I got my first kick today but I am not sure! Xx

I felt my first proper kick at 19+1 and could see them by 20+4... fell them really frequently now and they wake me during the night... wonderful!!

I have been feeling flutters & v. gentle kicks when I am lying down and very still at night. I am getting so excited (and so is my OH) for the real kicks!!

I think I might have felt a few stronger kicks today. I am so excited by it!
