    I didn't really feel anything until my 20th week. I've known people that have started feeling things much sooner, I guess mine were just lazy.

    I can't remember how many weeks I was but I have the date written down... i just don't feel like doing the math right now lol but I know I wasn't sure if I even knew when it was happening. Because the 'flutter' I was always thinking was just gas. Or maybe it was. But when the kick came it was the middle of the night and I was all excited and I jumped outta bed and was like running around all happy. LOL

    I felt my first at 16 or 18 weeks, I can't remember which. You'll feel it soon and then you'll look back and realize you've felt that same feelling over the last few weeks but just wasn't sure, ya know. It's so so exciting to feel the baby move.

    I've recently felt the baby move. I felt what I thought was gas bubbles, but they were too far forward and didn't feel quite right, you know? So I waited for the next one to happen and I just knew it was the baby. Now she only does it when I press hard on my belly though...like I'm disturbing her...haha

    You'll feel it soon, don't worry :D

    I felt leane around 18 weeks. But like hippyfreak said, I had to usually push pretty hard on my belly to feel her most of the time. But you shoudl be feeling it really soon! :)

    Generally you will feel the baby move around 18 to 20 weeks. Enjoy your pregnancy...it is a magical time!

    It can be as late as 24-28 weeks before you feel baby move. I know one mama who didn't feel hers move ntil the 8th month. That is unusual though. Heavy mamas can feel baby move later than very slim ones, and some babies are facing your back, so when they move their arms and legs, you don't really notice.
