When will I feel my baby kicking??

Hi, I hope you're all keeping well :)

I'm 14 weeks pregnant & have felt flutters in my tummy but can't tell if its the baby or wind (sorry for the detail!) so I was just wondering when you all started to feel your baby move? This is my first but when I went for my 12 week scan it was moving non stop! Thanks :)

It is different for everyone, but around the 20 week mark you'll be feeling unmistakable movements. And then each week after that it'll be more and more obvious until your baby pokes her hand under your skin and you can pretty much shake it hahaha x

p.s. the flutters probably are baby moving and the water bubbling x

I am now 21 weeks an can clearly feel kicking. I have felt them for about 3-4 weeks but it ha taken until now to know for sure that it was actually kicks and not just wind. They get stronger as time goes by and so I doubted the light kicks to start with. My understanding is it is normal to feel kicks around 20 weeks but if it is later ten this you shouldn't worry (especially if you have seen everything's ok at your scan) - apparently if you are a larger lady it may take longer to feel kick and also if your placenta is at the front it may also take longer to feel them x

Its funny I said exactly the same on here at about 16 weeks I think, couldn't tell what was what, I can assure you that you will know when its the baby as in fact the bubbling feels nothing like wind and you will find it more frontal and low. From 18 weeks I started to play music to my tummy and started to get responses as their hearing is developing, within 4 days I was having definite movements without stimulating and now at 22 weeks I feel bubba all the time and makes me chuckle to self as its such a lovely amazing feeling and I have to keep telling myself....there is a miniature human in there. As bubba grows there is less free floating fluid around and less room to move without you feeling it so be patient....you time will come and you will LOVE it <3 X :)

I felt bubbles at 13 weeks, then each week more movement but not everyday, but 24 weeks full on kicks, punches now at 33 weeks 3 days more subtle movements :)

I didn't really feel much movement till about 18 weeks and now at 23 weeks I can feel him kicking quite a lot and right now he has either an elbow/foot or something dug into my ribs which is rather uncomfortable x
