I felt my first move very early. I was still in my first trimester and so early that the doctor said it couldn't be the baby I felt - it most likely was gas. I had not really felt gas bubbles or twinges before then so I couldn't compare.
Because of other issues I had frequent ultrasounds and actually told the doctor when the baby was moving as he was watching.
I was tiny - having lost some weight during that period I was just 90 pounds and had some awesome abdominal muscles.
Years later I finally felt gas bubbles and was concerned enough to take a pregnancy test. So I understand now how the sensation could be confused.

This is my third pregnancy, and I first started feeling movement at 16 weeks. I was surprised, but I could easily identify it for what it was. The others were later, but I don't remember how much later.

I think it was between 16-18 weeks. I know for sure that by 18 weeks I was feeling movement.

My first pregnancy I started feeling her kick around 16 weeks. I distinctly remember being in chemistry class and leaning against the counter when I felt a kick aiming for the counter. My dd did NOT like anything putting pressure on her. My second pregnancy, that tragically ended at 19 weeks, I felt the baby start kicking around 15 weeks.

I think at around 20 weeks with my first and about 16 weeks with my second. I probably felt #1 earlier but I just didn't know what baby movement would feel like.

Very early. And they all kicked HARD. And often. There would have been no mistaking that foot kicking for anything other than a fetus.

I first felt flutters at about 16 weeks. My youngest is 12 and I can still distinctly remember what it felt like when I first felt movement. I remember after all 3 pregnancies feeling a little sad that I couldn't feel them moving in my belly anymore (weird, I know)

Early very early. She was very active even From day one. She was a nonstop baby that never slept.
The boy. A couple of months in. Completely normal ,by the book , movement.

early. I remember it was before I was 4 months. I walked a lot to and from work and I'd lay on my bed on my back and he just rolled and rolled.

I absolutely remember. I was 16 weeks, watching Quill (about the Marquis de Sade) in Phoenix with DH and his parents. Like someone thrumming fingers on my stomach, but inside.

I have a 16 and a 12 year old ... I can barely remember what I ate for breakfast so I really don't remember when I felt those babies moving ... but I did feel movement ... None of the "I didn't know I was pregnant!"  |

Somewhere around 18 weeks. I probably felt it earlier but I didn't recognize it as baby movement.

14 weeks with my first and 12 weeks with my second. I know people say that's too early but it was very distinct and definitely not gas.

15 weeks, and they did feel like gas bubbles...then. But as time went on it looked like giant waves were rolling across my abdomen. At times a foot or elbow would push straight out and I'd feel like I was in the movie Alien.

With my first, I was 4 1/2-5 months - scared me at first, then I realized what it was. With the second pregnancy, it was closer to 4 months - and it felt like an elephant trying to stand up. When I mentioned it to the doctor, she said I was more aware this time, and that second babies tend to be bigger. I believed her.
Turned out it was twins!
And I also felt a bit lonely after I delivered.

First baby was about 16 weeks. Second baby had the placenta in the front so I hardly felt him kick until the 3rd trimester. Being as I'd 2 miscarriages between ds1 and that one I was a nervous wreck. No mistaken I was pregnant though. I'm only 5'1" so there was nowhere for them to go but out (and in my ribs  ) |

First baby about 17 weeks, but I wasn't sure what it was until more like 19 weeks. It felt like thumps not flutters.  She was also one that like to push outward so sometimes you would see a bulge or movement. It was creepy.  Baby #2 I felt two really early movements at 13 & 14 weeks. Felt like she did a somersault. Then didn't feel a lot movement for the rest of the pregnancy. Her placenta was in the front. I'm not sure my DH every felt her move. |

For sure baby kicks... 20 weeks with DS, and 18 weeks with DD. I felt fluttery, swishy, thumping about 16 weeks, with both.

I felt both of my girls around 16 weeks. It was definitely lonely kind of feeling after the second one was born. She was very active. Almost to the point of making me sick sometimes.

About 16 weeks with my first. A little earlier with my 2nd and 3rd. I always thought that it felt like a tiny goldfish moving. |
