Not until you are about 18 weeks or so

No, not yet, your uterus can harldy be seen over your pelvis during a sonogram at this point. and the baby is only about as big as a pea, very tiny, The earliest I ever fel movemnet was at about 14 weeks, but It is said you will feel it between 14 and 22 weeks. Your uteerus cant be felt yet either. You will be able to feel it around 20 weeks or so (give or take afew) and it will be all the way up to your belly button by then. When you feel it you will know that it is your uterus, it will be very hard. I suggest going online to a baby website and signing up for a "what to expect" newsletter in your inbox every week. This way you will know what you will be experiencing and when. Congrats and Good luck!

I didnt feel the baby flutter around until I was about 14 weeks - and even then, it wasnt much, just felt like little butterflies.
20 weeks (for me) was when I started to really "feel" pregnant...the baby's movements were much harder and more often. At about 25 weeks, I could put my hand on my stomache and feel kicking and stuff.
At 8 weeks, I wouldnt expect you to feel much. The baby is very small and surrounded by fluid in your uterus. :)

No you are way too early to feel the baby or the uterus. You won't feel it til the 3rd or 4th month.

No you cant feel the actual baby yet. Its not big enough right now. I started feeling kicks at 20 wks but I couldnt actually feel the actual baby til about 32 wks

You won't feel movement until somewhere between 16 and 20 wks. And that will just be you being able to feel the movement. It will be several weeks after that before anyone else would be able to feel it.

You would need to wait until the uteras has expanded above the pubic bone. There is no way at this point you are able to feel the baby. Browse the website listed for more information.

Not yet. When the baby's bigger and you can feel him/her specifically when touching your stomach, they s/he will feel you. I remember tickling my kids and them reacting. It was so cool!
