When can you feel baby kicks?

Hihi mummies, at which week you start to feel your baby kicking? I’m current 16 weeks. 2nd time mum here but Cus I didn’t feel much bb kicks for my first so I not sure when should be the “correct” weeks to start feeling it. Thank you! 😊

There is no hard and fast rule. I am a FTM and I didn’t feel my first kicks till 25 weeks though since then it’s been non stop kicks and movements 🥹 My bub was very active during scans so gynae assured me that contrary to what we read online, some FTMs don’t feel it till their third tri. Since it’s not your first, you should feel it earlier than your earlier pregnancy but again varies from person to person. Depending on how your baby is positioned, how long your torso is etc, there’s no “correct” or “wrong” time. Congrats on your second bundle of joy

think mine very eager to let me feel.. ftm but I felt twice in 1st trimester.. when I hit around week 14 got bubbly feel everyday, gradually became stronger around week 18 that I can start taking video.. even my bump also quite obvious at week 16, I'm surprised as a ftm I felt all these so early..

I think there is no correct time but usually 22 weeks seems like the average time based on the mothers around me. it also depends on the position of your placenta. Mine is anterior placenta so I felt bubble feeling at week 16. More obvious at week 20 and kicks started at week 24.

Ftm. 17 weeks, felt quickening aka bubbles that are very very similar to a hungry tummy but and it’s quite a few times over a period of like 2 mins, and feedback if this is baby movement or quickening. Happens at 2am midnight tho

FTM, first felt my baby’s kick at 19th week. Feels like popcorn popping inside of me. Now at 21 week I can sometimes see my tummy jiggle when baby punch or kick hard enough 😊

Around 16-24 weeks u will start to feel it. I can see my baby kicks on 22weeks plus. Maybe before that there some bubbling just that I don’t feel it. 😅

may I check is it normal at the start to only feel 1 to 2 kicks every few hours? sometimes none until only at night

2nd time mom here. Felt it at 18 weeks. First one took me 22weeks.

my first was about 17 weeks? now my second is about 14 weeks 😄

20weeks onwards. i felt mine for the 1st time at 21weeks
