On my pregnancy app, it said I should feel the baby move soon.. I am not sure if I will be able to know if it's kicking or not, though!

Can someone explain what it feels like, and when they first felt it? I'm dying to feel it!!!

For awhile I wasn't sure if I felt it. I don't think I started feeling the baby until 22 weeks or so. The first feelings were like little pops - like popcorn in my belly.

Re: when did you feel baby kick?

I didn't feel my first until 22 weeks or so, mostly because I didn't know what I was looking for.

For my second, it was likely closer to 18 weeks, maybe slightly earlier.

I'm 15 weeks now with #3 and still waiting. At times, I "think" I feel him but I'm still not entirely sure its him yet.

Soon!

Just realized I didn't answer your question of what it feels like. Popcorn popping is actually a good description early on. Sometimes is can feel like gas too.

Later on, its full on pokes and kicks. Cant miss it! :)

I was about 16 weeks or so. Definitely felt a lot by 18 weeks because I was in the ER for a non-pregnancy related issue and I remember them saying they'd check the baby and I mentioned that I felt lots of movement.

She was very active in utero. Didn't sleep then and doesn't sleep now!

ETA: for me it felt kind of like fluttering.

With my first I didn't feel him until 23 weeks but I had an anterior placenta. With this one I started feeling/seeing her kicks at 17 weeks.

I didn't feel DS move until I was at least 22 weeks- it was amazing!

18 weeks but I know I felt him early. I have a posterior placenta and every time I get a u/s the technician confirms he's right at the front of my tummy so it makes sense.

About 18 weeks or so. It first feels like little pops of popcorn popping in your belly. They get stronger and more noticeable every week. By 22 weeks my husband was able to feel them on the outside.

I'm 20 weeks and I can feel him very low on my bladder at times. I have an anterior placenta though so I think I would probably feel him more if I didn't. Mine feels like little rolls and pokes. My doctor told me that 22 weeks is average though! I also think that women who have been pregnant before feel a lot sooner than FTMs which is why some can feel so early on!

FTM here- about 19/20 weeks but it was very slight and I wasn't even sure that's what it was. Around 22 weeks they were DEFINITE kicks and movement. Now I feel her constantly and can actually see her moving in my belly! DH, too.

Somewhere between 18-20 weeks. I had the remote on my belly and he kicked it right off. Greatest feeling in the world.

I felt DD kick around 15 weeks. It felt like butterflies in my stomach. By 20 weeks they felt like gas bubbles but if my hand was on my stomach I felt her too. That was around the time DH felt her for the first time.
