I am pregnant with my 2nd. I am 17 weeks tomorrow. I have been noticing flutters in my stomach, which I am pretty sure is my little one. With my son, I believe I was further along and it was much more of a distinct kick. So when did you feel your baby kick?

What can I do next?

I think it was around 18 weeks with my first. With my second, it was around 20 weeks but I only felt some movement, no kicks for quite a while and found out I had an anterior placenta so my placenta was in front of the baby blocking the kicks.

Im pregnant with my third, I didnt feel it regularly, and really knew it was the baby until about 18 weeks. Before that, I wasnt sure if it was baby or gas. ;)

Seems like the actually kicking thing doesnt start till about 5 or 6 mos along. The flutterings are such a fun feeling :)

baby #1 was about 6 months and #2 was about 15/16 weeks baby # 3 was the same as 2. I think its earlier than the first because your uteran walls a thinner or something like that. Also it was fluttering with 2 &3 but you already know what to expect so that may be why it is felt earlier....

My last son was very active and I felt the kicks at around 17 weeks. I had an ultrasound at about 19 weeks and I could actually see him kicking the ultrasound instrument. The technician even commented on how cute it was.

I felt my son kick at 14.5 weeks, which is not normal. (just like the rest of my pregnancy!) The average for kicking, I believe is around 20 weeks.

With my first child, I was 19 weeks pregnant before I felt him kick. I am currently pregnant with my second child, and I felt him kick at 15 weeks. Many women recognize quickening much earlier in their second pregnancies.
