I felt flutters at 16 weeks and kicks at 20 weeks And now I'm 23 weeks and I can see and feel kicks from the outside sometimes. I'm a first time mom.  You'll feel it soon, it all depends on how baby is positioned. . By 20 weeks I started feeling baby alot.  :)

I felt flutters early on at 15+6 but kicks were several weeks later. My doc was suprised I felt flutters so early. Everyone and each pregnancy is different.

I started feeling little flutters around 18 weeks but didn't know it was baby and got really discouraged. At my 18 weeks appointment while my doctor was checking heartbeat on the Doppler I felt and heard it at the same time... that's when I knew for sure that's what it was.. about 20-22 weeks they came on strong and frequent :)
You'll feel them soon!!!

I started feeling around 17+5 and I would feel once every other day! I turn 21 weeks tomorrow and I still only feel baby boy once every other day! On Thursday I had my 20 week scan and I learned that baby is real active but I just can't feel some of his movements! That day he was long breech so I didn't feel any of his movements and the tech was having. Hard time getting measurements because he wouldn't stop moving! He would flip, punch and kick I didn't feel a thing! Hopefully one of this days I get to start feeling everything he does in there! BTW I'm a ftm!
