I didn't feel mine until about 20-22 weeks. Can't remember but the guys are right, once they started they didn't stop. They were even kicking the cat as it slept against my tummy watching TV and now they just grab her fur ha ha!

I did feel a little bit of like popcorn popping feeling on one side the other night and then a little flutter from the other side.  My left side baby is more of a kicker I guess!  He/she has been in all the ultrasounds too!!

I'm sure you already know that the babies have already been moving for quite a while now.  It is just too early for you to feel them.  You may have already felt flutters and didn't even know it.  You just chalked it up to gurgles in your intestines, when it was probably the babies 99% of the time.

It is just so awesome to feel those first flutters.  Then when they get into the full kicks, it's so neat to watch your belly, rolling back and forth.  Some of the later jabs might actually may make you a bit tender, but even those kicks, I treasured.  (No I didn't have twins)

Kicking is one of those things about pregnancy that I really missed, once I had my kids.  I'll never forget that they were the greatest physical symptom I experienced, when I was pregnant.  I miss it, big time.  And it's been 35 years since my last baby.  Yeah, I'm an old lady now...

Enjoy those little ones, mommie.  Make sure you post, when you feel those first kicks.

I'm at 20 wks with twins and I can only feel the boy kicking once in a while.

I can't feel the girl at all.

Thanks Girls!  haha.. that is funny Penswriter.  I actually had an ultrasound a few weeks ago.  One of the babies was sleeping, the other one was moving all around.  The one that was awake kicked the other one awake!  It was pretty funny!  =)

Let me tell you.... for me personally, I kept waiting and waiting to feel them move. I would feel fluttering but that was it! I kept looking it up in my "What to Expect When your Expecting" book and it said 20 weeks and sure enough at 19 weeks and 5 days I felt my first "WOE moment". The moment that doesn't feel like digestion it feels like something kicking or punching to get your attention. BUT my book says at 20 weeks they sleep 16 or more hours a day so don't expect the kicking all the time! But I love feeling it when I do!!! So be patient!
Penswriter....well said!!! :)
