I know it is usually around 18-22 weeks, but some of my friends felt their first babies at 16 weeks! What is the earliest I will feel it?

Around 16-20 weeks. It might even feel like gas, but constant.

Babies movements can be felt anywhere from 14 weeks to 24 weeks (by 24 weeks you should have felt movement).
It really depends on the woman and her body. With my first son I didn't feel anything till about 21 weeks and that was small flutters. Now with my second pregnancy I felt movement at 15 weeks. Most women in their first pregnancy it takes longer to feel things because your uterus isn't all stretch out, it is tighter. With second and subsequent pregnancies everything has already been put in that position and it just goes back (this is why a lot of woman are smaller in their first pregnancy). Plus with your first you don't know what it is going to feel like and in other pregnancies you have felt it all before.

You will most likely feel your baby move around 4 to 5 months. I am sure you have heard before that all woman are different and have milestones at different times. So that is just the norm. You may feel certain movements earlier than that, but it is probably not your baby that you feel. It is "other" things going on in there. Congratulations and good luck!

With your first pregnancy it's normal to feel the baby around 18 - 20 wks. It all depends on the woman. This is my first and I felt it around 13 wks or so. The first movements will feel like butterflies, almost like gas. They can be hard to distinguish, but if you pay attention you should be able to identify them. Don't worry if it's a while until you feel it.

you may have already felt the baby move and did not realize it. it feels like a little butterfly in a way. or it could feel like a little bubble in your stomach. if you are a first time mom it may be closer to 17-18 weeks before you realize that it was your baby.
congratulations on the baby

You may have already felt your baby move but you didn't know it. Don't worry because when you start feeling it move it's going to get on your nerves, but you will be excited and happy that your baby is moving just not so much. Give it time as long as when you go to the doctor and you hear the heartbeat you are fine. the moving will come.
Good Luck & Congrats!!!!

I have 2 kids, and from my experience, you should feel you baby kick at about 16weeks. It will feel like a butterfly fluttering in you lower abdomen. It's a weird feeling at first!
