I don't know if weight means everything, I weigh 275 and felt mine at 15 weeks. I am 16 weeks now and only felt it 4 times since then. Every time I felt it was when I was laying in bed, it had to be the baby because I never felt anything like it and it was in the right spot. I have a Doppler, I got it out and the fluttering feeling was right where the heartbeat was. I think a lot of it depends where the placenta is attached and how much fluid you have in your sac. I heard from a lot of woman it seems like about 16-22 weeks is about when most woman feel it for the first time. And usually they feel it and maybe not again for several days.

I have been pregnant when I was 105 pounds and pregnant when I was 160 pounds. Each time, I did not feel the baby move until about 20-24 weeks. You won't even realize you are feeling the baby move for awhile. It is a strange feeling that takes time to discover. It is like little taps or gas bubbles in you belly. It is amazing! Good Luck with everything!

16-18 weeks with my first. The first flutters at 14 weeks with my second. First time moms wont feel there baby move as early as veteran moms. The first flutters will be felt as butterflys or bubbles popping, sometimes women cant tell the difference in them and gas bubbles. If u feel a little flutter without gas u know thats your baby.
Good Luck and Congrats!!

Depends on how the placenta is placed....posterias feel more movement and feel it sooner.
Also depends on which pregnancy this is for you, first timers don't feel it as soon or don't recognize it.
Depends on your physic....if you're heavy it will take you longer.
I first felt my son at about 16 weeks but only briefly. I am pregnant now and she is a hyper little thing. Been going like a nut since 19 weeks!

It is called "quickening" and varies somewhat with each woman and each pregnancy, some can feel the baby move as early as 14-16 weeks, but almost all can by 20 weeks.
Congratulations.

It averages around 20 weeks when you realize what you are feeling, but if it's not your first baby it can be sooner because you will recognize it. With my last baby I was barely 4 months when I felt the first kicks- and new what they were.

If you are a normal weight it is usually between 14 and 16 weeks you begin to feel it...if you are a bit on the heavy side, it could take as long as 22 weeks. It is so exciting!!!

I am 19 weeks and i have been feeling then since about 16 weeks. I was quite thin before i was pregnant - not sure if that has anything to do with it.
