How early did y'all feel the baby move?

  I started feeling occasional flutters just before 16 weeks, and kicks sometime around 19 weeks.  A lot of people don't feel anything until much later with a first baby, though, and it can depend on where your LO likes to hang out, where your placenta is, etc.

  At 18 weeks and I could feel my babies move.  It was definite, whereas in the weeks prior I "thought" I felt "something" but really I just wanted to feel something. So before 18 weeks I think I attributed lots of gas bubbles and other gurgles as baby movements.  

   By 21 weeks, I could not only feel the babies from the inside, but I could also put my hand on my stomach and feel a kick from the outside. At this point I started having my husband feel, which really grossed him out at first. 

   Now, at 26 weeks I can feel and SEE them move.  My stomach sometimes is like watching two animals wriggling under a blanket. And since the babies are so big now, I can feel my stomach with my hand and I can tell where their bodies are. 

  You're in for a treat. These are the best feelings in the world.

  I started to feel her move around 15-16 weeks and I felt her kick around 18 weeks.  She's been very active ever since.

  About 15.5 w for me. It was only once a day or so and like little taps, when I was sitting or laying down. I am starting to feel her more now and even when I am up, moving around. It is so sweet.

  Every pregnancy is different though. I hope you feel your LO soon.

  I'm a bigger girl so I'm sure that plays a part.  I didn't feel him consistently until about 22 weeks.  Before that I'm pretty sure I felt some flutters, etc around 19 weeks.

  Does it?  I'm a bigger girl too, but I've yet to be able to get any real confirmation on this.  That would be comforting to know, because I'm not really feeling anything.

  I started feeling SOMEthing during week 17.  It's become more frequent and stronger...I don't know if I'm feeling kicks/arms/etc??  So for the past few weeks I've started feeling movement, I just don't know what the movement is, lol!

  I've felt two big pokes from one of mine this week (16w).  Both times have been in response to my dogs getting noisy.  I think I may have felt the other one squirm when I pushed down on my belly, but I'm not sure. 

  Twin boys due 7/25/12
