I know everyone feels there baby at certain times depending on who they are but is there an estimate on when you will feel your child, I have read threads where they say they can feel there child any where from 12-18 weeks.

I am 14 weeks along and I still don't think I have felt my child yet.

D;

i'm sorry sometimes I get so worried if my child is ok. Because of the risks of misscarriage.

I think people who feel their baby moving at 14 weeks are mistaking gas for baby movement.

I didn't feel anything until 21 weeks. 18-22 weeks is the norm for a first time pregnancy, a bit earlier if it's not your first.

I felt my son move for the first time when .I was 16wks. But .I didn't *really* start feeling him move around in then until .I was about 18wks. Don't worry, you'll feel your little one moving soon enough, &eventually, you'll be thinking "omg stay .S.T.I.L.L for just 5 seconds!!!"

Since about 14wk.S I have a little fluttering feeling , like butterflies but I feel it a lot ... A cousin told me she got that a lot during her pregnancy as well but we're both unsure if it's the baby or not. I'm so curious as to what it feels like to really actually feel the baby move. I can't wait.

Pregnancy is so amazing, I still find it hard to believe all of this is going on inside of me without me neccesserily knowing whats happening, I love my midwife though she calls me just to have a random chat and tell me what new things my baby can do this week, I love her she's so nice.
