I am 16 weeks pregnant and was curious to know when do you feel the baby move? Also, what exactly does it feel like?

    I dont mean to be gross but i often mistook baby movements for gas bubbles, but now that theyre a little stronger i know they are baby! So for me it felt like bubbles!

    It is different for everyone. Lots of factors like if it's your first pregnancy or if a woman is over weight can make a difference. I felt her move for the first time around 19 weeks. It was a weird flutter like a goldfish was flopping around below my belly button. It was faint, but noticeable. The movements didn't get to a point where I could feel them regularly till about 22 weeks. they move around all the time, we just don't always feel it that early on. Once you feel the baby actually kick or punch you the first time, you'll know it!

    I am 16 weeks today as well!!!

    This is my 3rd baby, and I felt the little flutters at 14 weeks.  With my 2nd it was 16 weeks and with my 1st it was around 18 weeks.

    I felt my first flutters right at 19 weeks, though I wasn't 100% sure at the time what it was. Felt kind of like little wings, or a fish swimming around making waves.

    Got a few solid kicks/punches a few days after that. And now at 19wks6days I feel flutters & kicks/rolls several times a day. It's amazing to me how quickly I went from feeling nothing to feeling lots of movement.

    Usually between 18-22 weeks I think for first time moms. If you've already had children you may start feeling baby a little sooner (though not necessarily).

     I first started feeling the "Flutters" around late 15wks. I wasnt sure it was flutters until I was 16wks. I know for sure now it was flutters not gas... It felt like someone was tickeling me from the inside... I am overweight and I still felt it. Everyone is different, but I feel it only when im sitting or standing still.
