When Did you first feel your baby move?

I am 19 weeks now, first baby, and I haven't felt him/her move yet. I am due 11/22. Just wondering when you first felt your baby move?

That is one of those things where everyone is different. I didn't feel my first 2 until around 20 weeks. This one I have started feeling a little here and there and will be 17 weeks tomorrow. They usually say around 20 weeks is when, on average, most people start to feel baby, so you are really close. It will be very exciting once it starts!

I agree that everyone is different but you should definitely start feeling movement in the next few weeks. If this is your first, you may have felt movement already and just didn't know what it was. This is my second baby and I even doubted the movements when I first started feeling them. Once you start feeling them, it's such a relief everyday!! Then when your SO can feel the baby, that's even cooler.

I'm 19w4d and have an anterior placenta, so I know that it'll take a little while longer before I feel my baby girl moving. I can't wait though, she was squirming all over the place during the U/S last week.

I'm one of those lucky ones that felt both of my first 2 around 16 weeks. This one is no different. I felt little flutters around 15 1/2 weeks and they have been increasingly stronger. I'm now 17 wks and can feel movement a couple times a day. Feels like the baby is rolling around in there. No strong kicks yet. You should start feeling something pretty soon. Usually, it happens for most moms around 20 wks. Enjoy!

I felt my first at 16 weeks and I felt my second at 15 1/2 weeks. Its different for everyone and for every pregnancy.

im 21 weeks now, and due 15/11. I'm still not sure if what i feel is baby kicking. My doctor said since its the first baby, I am having difficulty telling the difference, and suggested I try lying down in a quiet room after having dinner, and feel for movement for 2 hours. I think the problem is the noise around me, cause I still didn't get a chance to try this!And I hope it works out.
