I was about 16 weeks, I was sick from morning sickness, so I was stuck on the couch. And while feeling horrible, suddenly I felt the tiniest movement...and it made the morning sickness all worth it. ♥

It was different with each one. With my first I think it was about 4 months. With the rest it was more like 5 months.

I was almost 24 weeks before I felt the little peanut. It was like popcorn popping and such a neat feeling. The best is later on when you feel punches and kicks. It's so wonderful and makes it all real and re-assures you that things are all ok.

    First babies tend to take longer before you feel them.. or so we're told. I was 22 weeks before I felt anything.. but you're not far off! Enjoy. I'm envious :)

    For me it was the opposite. With my first I was so intently paying attention to anything I felt down there that when I felt the first flutter I called the doctor to ask what it was. With the rest I may have felt movement sooner, but didn't pick up on it because I was busy with the other children and not paying as much attention, until it was a pretty strong movement.

with my first real kicks (felt from the outside) at 16 weeks, with my second at 15 weeks (even with an anterior placenta!)... I'm 5 weeks, 2 days with baby number three, I'm assuming it won't be any later than the other two.

With my first, it was around 18 weeks. With this one, it was about 12 weeks. My husband has been feeling her move since about 17 or 18 weeks, and that was about when I could watch my tummy jump when she moved! :) I'm now 31 weeks and can actually distinguish what part it is that I'm watching move - her feet, her butt, whatever! :)

With my first I was about 18 weeks, with my second it was 16 weeks and with this one it was about 14 weeks. I'm 24 weeks now and getting lots of strong kicks and even the occassional hiccup which my older 2 children think is hilarious coz they can see my bump move

For my first pregnancy, I felt my daughter around 3-4 months because I was really skinny when I got pregnant. I am now pregnant with my second, 17 weeks & 3 days and I feel little things off and on. Mainly after I eat, or if I'm sitting forward or first thing in the morning when I get up. It kinda varies, but I can't wait till I feel a lot more! :) Hope that helps!

    With my first pregnancy it was around 16 or 17 weeks was the first time I felt the baby move. But with my second it was actually about 10 weeks. It was VERY low and it kind of tickled, which is why I noticed it. Then I felt the next movements maybe once a week until 16 or 17 weeks when I started feeling more.
