When did you feel your babies start to move?

I know everyone is different but I was just wondering when all the mamas carrying twins started to feel them move and kick? I know it's usually between 16-22 weeks on average for a singleton , wasn't sure if anyone had it sooner with multiples.
Thanks ladies

    Much earlier this time than with DD...started feeling flutters around 15 weeks and full kicks by 18. At almost 22 weeks they are now visible from the outside and can already feel hard lumps where someone's butt or leg must be. :)

    Started feeling the flutters around 17 weeks or so and they've progressed to real kicks and thumps over a couple weeks. I'm at almost 22 weeks now and just felt one from the outside last night. Probably could have felt it awhile ago but my boys seem to be stealth kickers- up to now they've stopped or completely switched spots any time a hand is rested on my belly. I can feel a hard lump here or there occasionally too, had a really strange bulge last week that my MFM's ultrasound showed was both of their heads resting in about the same spot.

    I'm not even 100% sure, but I think around 18 weeks, but this is my third pregnancy.

    That's how mine are too. I know they say if you have an anterior placenta it's harder to feel them kick at first but I figured with 2 in there I've got a better chance lol

    I have two anterior placentas and Ob said "there's a lot going on in there" so it wasn't necessarily true that I'd feel them later. I've felt a few taps or twitches in the last week or so.

    20-21 weeks. Same exact as my singletons. DH could feel the twins this week at 22, which is a lot sooner than previous times.

    I had little "taps" that I thought were gas bubbles around 16w, and wouldn't have considered them a baby until the midwife found Baby B right up in that area that week. I couldn't feel them both consistently until last week really, when it went from every couple of days to at least once a day. Now, at 20w, I can feel them individually more when lying down, and I feel more wiggles and them twisting around than definite punchest and kicks so far. I am guessing that within a few weeks they'll be even stronger and I will be getting definite jabs.

    I'm a FTM with mo/di girls, and I felt the light tapping start around 15 weeks. It wasn't consistent at first. I am now 19 weeks 2 days and last night my husband felt baby B kick for the first time!! I thought it might be too light for him to feel but he definitely did :) he was so excited!
