I felt it at 16 weeks but it was hardly noticeable. By 18 weeks you could feel it a lot stronger and around that time my hubby was able to feel it from the outside if he was patient. At 20 weeks I could see it. It really depends on how you are built and how your baby is positioned my close friend didn't feel anything at all till 21 weeks.

13 weeks 4 days, but it felt like really light, strange popping bubbles, so I wasn't actually sure that that was her moving until a couple weeks later when she started kicking harder and harder. Then it started to feel like muscle spazzams, so I wasn't sure if it was her again or my muscles spazzing out from stretching so much... Then finally I realized it was her all along, LOL.

I was 19 weeks but I believe it varies from person to person. Best wishes to you for a healthy and happy pregnancy :)

I felt my baby move for the first time this past Christmas Eve and then I was about 14 weeks. It felt like little flutters. It was a weird feeling. My husband wasn't sure if it was the baby or not. He said "it's probably gas" but then New Years came around and I really started to feel little thumps and it lasted through out the night, and my husband was convinced after that night. lol

I was 16 weeks, hang in there! I had a miscarriage too, now I have a healthy 9 month old. I was anxious through my whole pregnancy though...

I first felt my baby move when I was about 17-18 weeks gone but didn't feel a definate kick until a few weeks later. The first movements felt sort of 'bubbly,' almost like I had gas :/

You'll feel your little one move soon & good luck with the pregnancy :)

id say i started feeling a slight bubble feeling about 16 weeks but it didnt happen much, once i hit 20 weeks i could feel along with my boyfriend. it keeps getting stronger and some days are more active then others, im sure your baby is fine if it wasnt you would know :) but it does make you feel better to feel it, i so agree on that.

I didn't feel my first movement until I was 16 weeks, it felt like I had butterflies in my tummy (sometimes like bubbles, strange but very exciting feeling) but as for a proper big kick that didn't happen until I was 20wks pregnant. My placenta was at the front so my baby had to kick pretty hard before I felt it. Everyone is different, I hope this helps.

Usually you can feel the first movement when you're about 16-20 weeks but it's just like butterflies fluttering around. Real good movement is about 24 weeks or more.
