    Oh I know. It kicks very hard. I can feel it with my hand but it won't let my hubby.

    I have not yet!!! I am 15 weeks today so hopefully I can start feeling something soon =)

    Does it hurt for you or does it just feel different

    It's not painful at all. Yet. The baby is still too small to be painful. I first noticed mine a week or so ago and it felt like a muscle twitch but quickly got stronger and more noticeable.

    @chanfa and @HMcDade1 you will definitely know it when you feel it.  :)

    Are you all feeling flutters after being active or during restful periods? I thought I may have felt somethin yesterday after unloading my car from the weekend trip but I'm not sure!!!!

    Yup. Yesterday. Flutters. I sat as still as I could and tried to make sure I wasn't crazy. Haha. It's a barely there feeling right now though. Kicks are the best. Until they get strong and you feel like they are using your cervix as a punching bag....

    Can someone tell me what it feels like, because I think I feel something but how I want to describe it makes me sound like I'm having a weird panic attack in my stomach.

    I'm 16+4 and no kicks or flutters for me, but the rolling around is driving me nuts. Just posted about it in symptoms- I have a baby who prefers the left, and at night in particular bulges out hard on the left. I can feel it sometimes sitting low or high or to the left. No idea what's wrong with the right, but it's empty and I never feel anything there... I second the requests for people to describe kicks! What do they feel like??

    Definitely nothing like that yet. My doctor told me last appointment not to expect it until 18 weeks ... I'm impatient.

    thanks @MotherOfDucks I think that's the best explanation of it so far! I haven't felt that yet!

    I'm getting so antsy for that!! I'm 16+1 and at our last appt baby was measuring closer to a week ahead (so at this point almost 17w) and I've felt nothing. Come onnnnn baby!

    But yay, so happy and exciting for you!

    We buy goldfish to put in the pool for the ducks. Since they're 10 for a dollar, it's a nice treat. The kids find it fascinating. So I have held my fair share of bags of fish.

    @MotherOfDucks we used to do that for DH's turtle in college. My Nephew also found it fascinating (me too!!). At the pet store they told us to get a crayfish to eat the algae that it would live in harmony with the turtle. That was not true and it was the ultimate fight to the death. Spoiler Alert: the turtle won.  

    At times during all of this I questioned my sanity. 

    Eta: on topic I am 16+4 and sadly have not felt anything either. I am also measuring over a week ahead. But I do have the front placenta so I am hoping to feel something by 23 weeks. which seems a life time away.

    Have you ever held a bag of goldfish? The way you feel them through the bag as they bump against it is kinda what the baby feels like. It's like that against your insides instead of your hands.


    HAHAHA I am so embarrassed to say that I thought you meant goldfish crackers...and I have a bag here at school that I attempted to touch and only got more confused.... Nobel prize winner over here...
    I love this! Ah pregnancy brain. Although now I want goldfish crackers....

    To me it felt like an alien.  That is the only way I can put it lol.  You will definitely know when you're feeling full on kicks.  I never really felt flutters but I felt full on kicks around 18 weeks and maybe a couple of days later my DH could feel it.  It's awesome!

    I don't remember when I started feeling the flutters with my first.  I'm 16w4d and have felt nothing so far.  At this point in my last two pregnancies I've at least felt something....but nope, not this time.  It's very aggravating and nerve wracking.

    This is my second pregnancy and I've felt something going on for the past week. Today in court, I felt an actual knocking around in there and it actually made me jump. With my first pregnancy, it was a LONG time before I felt a thing.

    Not feeling anything, I thought I was but I had a scan on Monday and it was moving around like crazy.....nothing, must have been gas.  Also was told I have an anterior placenta so I won't be feeling anything for another 10 weeks or so.  Gas and baby movement is very similar

    I'll be 15 weeks on Friday and I'm overweight. So I've been told I won't feel anything until 20+ weeks. You ladies are lucky you can feel it so soon. :)

    I'm 16w 2d. I've been feeling movement for about 2 weeks now. Today when I went to the doc, she looked for the heartbeat and she felt the baby move from outside. She said she'd never felt the baby that early or knew anyone who could feel the baby from the outside this early. I can only tell when I'm sitting or laying down and still.

    I'm at 15 weeks, 3 days. I haven't felt anything yet, but I spend a lot of time laying there thinking, "Was that a thing? Did I feel a thing?? No... I didn't. Wait.. Was THAT a thing?" By the time I actually feel it, I'll probably still think it's in my head.

    ^^^^this!!!!!

    I am overweight as well, though I have twins, so that might contribute. It'll come! We really get the short end of the stick though, I'm not even showing yet. Just fat.

    I've been feeling it for about a week (I'm 16 + 3). It's almost always at night, when I'm laying still in bed or taking a bath. Yesterday baby was going nuts in there when I was sitting in an armchair with my legs tucked up, it must have been rolling around. 

    I used @MotherOfDucks 's fish in a bag description to explain it to my husband and he looked SO uncomfortable. He was like DOES THAT HURT??!
