Generally, between 16 and 22 weeks is when most women report feeling their baby move. Some can feel the baby earlier and some later as well. Many first time moms feel the movements later as they are not exactly sure what they are feeling. Early movements are very fluttery feeling, much like gas or a hungry stomach might feel. It may take a little time to tell the difference.

With my first it was around 16 weeks and with this baby it was 13 weeks. The first movements are little flutters you feel. Usually by 20 weeks you'll feel movement and know it's the baby. Everyone is different and so is every pregnancy. Give it a couple more weeks. Congrats!

You will probably feel the baby move any day now. It's a difficult sensation to describe. The most accurate description I can offer is that it feels like gas moving around in your abdomen. You may not be sure if you have felt the baby move at first, but after a while, you will definitely know. I know it's exciting, but try to have patience! (Before you know it you'll be holding on to the real thing!)

sometimes the first pregnancy can take a while. possibly up to 20 weeks. i know you're anxious and you dont like the thought of possibly waiting 4 more weeks, but it's worth it.
amazingly enough... imagine what it would feel like if someone kicked you from the inside out... and that's pretty much what it feels like. it's amazing... just wait though unti it's kicking you in the cervix... oh my god. nothing could prepare me for how odd that felt..

I was 21 weeks with my first pregnancy. Alot depends on your body type. If you are very thin, it could happen pretty soon. If you are thick, takes a while longer. Once you realize that that's what you're feeling, you'll realize you've been feeling it for a while. does that make sense?

The fetus will move whenever it feels like it, which is around 20 wks. You have a month to go. Enjoy the tranquility while you can.

usually about 18-20 weeks, although some say as early as 17 weeks. it feels like a butterfly fluttering in your stomach

I first felt faint movement at about 16 weeks, you should feel something very soon! It almost felt like a tickling!

For the fisrt pregancy it should be around that time,the second pregancy that would be before.
Just like someone kicking you lightly a bit like putting a finger in your mouth and either rubbing your cheek or tapping your cheek lightly.
Take care and Good Luck..
