When can you feel movement?

I feel like I can finally start to look forward to things in the second trimester as I am almost there! When will I be able to feel the baby? When typically can the DH and others feel it?

    I felt my first kick at about 16 weeks but had flutters the week before then that I think was the start.  My little one was very shy and whenever H went to feel her she would stop kicking I think I was around 25 weeks before he got a defnite kick.

    From what I have read you can feel it as early as 13 weeks but that doesn't happen very often. The average is between 18 - 22 weeks. Based on a post from last week your DH should be able to feel it around 24 weeks or so.

    I'm pretty sure that I started feeling movement a couple of days ago but I'm not totally convinced yet :)

    I didn't feel anything I was SURE was baby until almost 22 weeks.  DH felt him a few days after that.

    It was late for me.  The first time I was sure I felt her was at 21 weeks.  DH felt her kick for the first time at 23 weeks... on Christmas morning Smile

    At about 17 to 18 weeks I started to feel kicking. I was in denial until I saw it on the u/s at 20 weeks.  Dh can feel it too.  It's awesome!

    Edited to add:  the kicks are strong and low.  I can see my belly move sometimes.  I haven't had anyone aside from Dh feel them because they are so low.

    Last time I felt it a little around 18 weeks, it felt like fish swimming in my belly. This time I thought I'd feel it earlier but I didn't feel the "fish" until about 20 weeks. I started to feel more distinct kicks last week - around 22 weeks.

    I just got my first kicks on Wednesday. DH and DD won't be able to feel them for a few more weeks though.

    It took me until 22w although I think I felt what I'll calling rolling before that.  Since my rolling didn't fit with the normal flutters, everyone thought it wasn't the baby, but I have the same feelings now so now I know it was!  I was just sitting on the couch one day and all of a sudden bubble bubble bubble last week.  Now the baby is moving around a lot over the last 2 days so that's just from 22 to 23w.

    I felt my first kick with DS at 15w, but then not consistently until 18 weeks.

    This time I felt my first one the other day (13+wks), but it is very rare/sporadic.  It will be more consistent in a few weeks when it is bigger. 

    I think DH can feel it when you are mid 20weks, but that also depends on your size.
