What do flutters feel like and when did you FIRST feel them?

I am almost 17 weeks and am wondering what flutters actually feel like. I am anxiously awaiting for this little one to kick me Chat Icon

Re: What do flutters feel like and when did you FIRST feel them?

From what I've gathered, everyone feels these things differently. I definitely felt fluttering around 16-18 weeks. Then I was concerned I wasn't feeling anything, but at the Level II the baby was moving around like crazy on the screen. I didn't feel a thing.

Now, finally at 24 weeks, I feel some light tapping...almost as if the baby is knocking. That seems to come and go. I know everybody is different. Chat Icon

my movement feels like muscle spasms-- and still does, it's just gotten progressively stronger.

I felt them for the first time last week ( 21 weeks)

To me it feels like bubbles- Its soo hard to describe but I am amazed that when I first felt it- I just KNEW it was the baby and not gas or anything else.

I just felt a tiny "flitter" during my 19th week but once I hit 20 I felt a kick every day!

Re: What do flutters feel like and when did you FIRST feel them?

I started feeling what I can only describe as "buzzing" around 16 weeks. Then about a week later I started feeling a tapping sensation. I think it was around 19 weeks that I started feeling REAL kicking.

Now she won't let me sleep Chat Icon

Everyone I know feels something differnet. I felt like a throbbing sensation, a "poke" a "bubble gas like feeling" and all other interesting sensations! at 17 weeks whatever you're feeling is probably your baby!

I never felt flutters, I felt tapping at 17 1/2 weeks, then not again until 19 weeks or so.

Re: What do flutters feel like and when did you FIRST feel them?

i felt it first around 16 weeks - it was more like gas bubbles/poking/rolling than flutters for me.

Re: What do flutters feel like and when did you FIRST feel them?

around 16 weeks I felt flutter and was 90% sure it was the baby.. by 18 weeks I started feeling pokes. Now I am 24 weeks, she's been kicking, punch and rolling none stop since.
It's wonderful. You'll know when you feel it Chat Icon

To me it feels like when you're eyebrow twitches ( if you've ever had that happen Chat Icon )

Me too!! It started at about 17-18 weeks. Now at 21 weeks the kicks are getting much stronger and I can actually see my belly move.
