I have a 7 year old daughter and a 8 year old step-daughter, so I have not done this pregnancy thing for along time. I am currently 17 weeks preg. with a boy =) I started feeling the butterfly movements at 15 wks. and now I feel the baby kicking. Well at the U/S eveything measured a wk later (18 wks). The doc says I am only 17 wks, but there has been a problem figuring the duedate, I am due Mar. 27- April 27. They are going with April 1st as the due date, so I am wondering if everything is going right for only being 17 weeks, is it normal to feel baby kicking at 17 weeks? Any help would be greatful and thankful. It has been along time and I can not remember my pregnancy 7 years ago.

I felt me first at 18 weeks and my second around 13 weeks , only because I recognized it sooner. It really is wonderful isn't it!!

I started feeling the baby moving very early in the pregnancy at about 12 weeks. He is a very active little loony toon too now that he is here.
Trust yourself and what you are feeling, everythign the doctor tells you is "average" dates. Every pregnancy and every child is different.
You should go to www.babycenter.com, they have all sorts of stuff like Personalized Calendars to tell you what stage you are at they will even send you an email each week telling you what has developed that week on the baby.

It is very possible! I felt my oldest daughter moving right around 16-17 weeks. If it is consistent, I'd say yes. And even if in the end not all of the movements were really you're baby, it's fun to think they were. :)

I felt actual kicks around that time (closer to 20 weeks for me). It varies slightly for every pregnancy. BUT It's pretty normal.
