What is the earliest you felt your child move in utero. I have not yet but I am patiently waiting for that first movement. I should have a few weeks to go, but they say that the more you have the earlier you can feel them.

So when did you feel him/ her move?

What can I do next?

LOL. I never could tell if it was actually them or gas early on. Those "flutters" which are the early movements always felt the same as gas to me, and as I tend to have digestive/gas issues in the first place, there was no way for me to tell. So, my "first" movement feelings were much later than the average.

About 4 months. Felt like a butterfly at first and then limbs started to move inside me! Amazing!!! Enjoy it, film it, document it and always remember it.

My first I honestly don't recall for certain but it was somewhere around 3.5 months. My second I felt him move probably at about 2.5 months or so.

It's frequently reported that the ability to feel the 'butterfly' sensations starts around 14 weeks, depending up on thin one is. I always felt those little butterfly kicks around 14-15 weeks gestation.

I remember with my first it was the morning of Christmas eve and she was born end of may, so I don't know who here is good at math?
The second I swear it was at ten weeks or something. It was so early I was shocked.

I usually don't feel the baby move until 16 or 17 weeks. I'm 15 weeks now with my 4th and I'm pretty sure for the last 2 weeks i've felt those little flips.

A couple weeks before 11 weeks.

Didn't know it until I went in for an ultrasound at 11 weeks and saw him bouncing off walls the exact same time as I would feel bump, bump, bump. WEIRD.

Right around 21 for my first, 20 for my second, and about 17 for my third. I think I just became more aware of what baby movement felt like.
