Hi Ladies- I am 14 wks and 3 days and am so anxious to feel my baby move. When does a first timer normally feel these "flutters" ↓

Hey Katie i'm a first time mom and felt the first flutters at week 17. ↑

doesn't it depend on the person? because i knew someone that started to feel the baby when she first got into her 3rd month. like it wouldn't be anything extreme at all, just like a poke every once in awhile. ↑

I have read in books it can be anywhere from 14-20 some weeks...but what does it feel like..Is it obvious or do you have to "look " for it? ↑

Hi Katie,
I felt the flutters probably about the same time as Jessica, somewhere around 17 wks. They say that sometimes you can mistake the flutters for gas or hunger pains. To me it kind of feels like the baby is turning and it doesn't last to long and wasn't that often. Now i'm almost 20 wks and i'm starting to feel it a lil' more often. ↑
