when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

im 16weeks 2 days and have not felt anything. no gas bubbles or flutters. This is my first pregnancy. Im a bigger girl to start with so im not sure if this has an impact.
My friend started to feel flutters at 15 weeks also with her first and is a bit larger than me.
Im starting to panic.

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

I started feeling little flutters around 17 weeks

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

every person and every pregnancy is different. do NOT compare yourself to anyone in real life or on these boards - you'll go INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't feel ANYTHING until i was 26 weeks....

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

Not sure the exact week, but in the 5th month

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

I felt them at like 17 weeks, but they weren't consistent till about 25 weeks. Even now at 29 weeks I don't feel her all day, just at certian times.

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

I felt my first flutters in my 14th week, but I was also really thin. Like Jess said, try not to compare your pregnancy to anyone else because everyone is so different.

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

I was about 16/17 weeks... it was more consistent around 18 weeks and full on kicks at around 19 weeks.

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

thanks everyone. I feel alot better. i feel like crying from relief! - ah my emotions...

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

I'm 19 1/2 weeks and haven't felt anything yet that I can say with 100% certainty has been a flutter...I think that it's usually just gas It makes me nervous, but I'm a bigger girl so I also know that it might take a while. Hang in there

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

I am also bigger to begin w/ and I am 18W3d and I think I started to feel a few flutters last week...but only a few and I am still not sure if it was the baby or gas....so not to worry

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

i'm chubby, so i expected to have to wait a long time to feel the baby...but i'm pretty in tune with my body and starting feeling "something" at about 15.5 wks. I thought it was gas. A couple more weeks went by and at 17wks-18wks, i was feeling the same "something" in the same spot, so that's when I figured out that it was the baby.

At 19-20wks, i started feeling definitive kicks. by 22wks, dh FELT the kicks and we could see movement from the outside! At 25-26 weeks (now), the baby has changed positions and I feel/see less movement. He's more towards my back and he's breech, so i'm feeling lots of low, inside movement. It's so weird - i never know if it's the baby or if i need to run to the bathroom

Re: when did u start feeling movements/flutters?

I've been feeling the flutters since 16w. I'm waiting now for it to be strong enough for DH to feel

It will come, at first I didn't think anything of it but I noticed it happened when I was in a position that our munchkin didn't like
