I’m Week 19 now and felt movements starting late Week 17. Firstly it felt exactly like gas. As I have a lot of gas, I couldn’t really deferentiate whether I was gonna pass gas or was the quickening. Like small little bubbles popping. Then Week 18 I could literally feel light flutters. Week 19 now and I can feel a little wave sometimes, and the little thuds (cause I don’t know if it’s a kick or a punch yet) as usual. I also don’t know the gender yet, going for my detailed scan at Week 21. It usually happens when I lie on my left or when after a meal. It gets stronger by the week so don’t be disheartened if you don’t feel yours yet! When it happens, it’ll just put a smile across your face at the most random time. Or a little shock. Hahaha just like now as I’m typing this, lil bub is agreeing! 😂
