Im 18+1 and still haven’t felt my little lady move, I’ve read online with your first it can be much later but can’t help but worry like I have throughout!

Just wondering at what stage other first time mums felt their baby?

I have Tummy rumblings that I can’t identify, maybe that’s it?!

I think I was about 18 + 5 but it was irregular and I didn't start to regularly feel the baby until later. Don't worry because it's still relatively early to be feeling baby. I've read many women on this forum say they didn't feel anything well after 20 weeks.

Also for later on down the line, don'tworry if your baby doesn't have a regular routine at the start. I was told by a midwife that it's only after 28 weeks that you should start to feel a pattern and keep track of the baby's movement.

Best of luck with the pregnancy!

I didnt feel anything until 21 weeks. My midwife told me for a first baby anything between 18 - 25 weeks is normal! X

I was about 18 weeks but didn’t fully make the connection to the feelings until 20 and it also depends where your placenta is, if it’s at the front then you’ll feel less until baby gets bigger x

I didn't feel anything until 28 to 30 weeks pregnant..

But I did have a front placenta that was a extra cushion xx

I was 18+1 the first time I definitely felt it but the midwife told me that was early for a first baby. I’m pretty sure that feelings I had that I thought were wind previously were actually baby flutters.

Hey Emma first time mum here and currently 30w. I was worried just like you as wasn’t feeling much movement at all. My little lady started to kick around 22w but they didn’t get regular until around 24. It’s so hard but hold in there she will soon starting wriggling around x
