I'm 14 weeks and was just curious as to when I might start to feel little flutters or anything else.

I wish I had a definitive answer for you.
Depending on your body type, you may feel the baby sooner then later. (Those who are smaller, tend to feel movements sooner.) Also, if you are a first time mother- you may be unaware of movements and whether it's "gas" or not until 20-22 weeks.
Placenta position ALSO plays a very big part in feeling your baby move. Those with an ANTERIOR placenta (meaning its up in front basically) will have their babies movements 'muffled' or 'padded' so it will take longer to feel them.
I have an anterior placenta and I'm carrying twins. At 22 weeks, I have not felt them move as much as I ever did any of my other singletons.
Congrats on your pregnancy! I hope you get to start feeling your little one soon.

I started feeling movement at around 16 weeks it started out feeling like little flutters or like i had gas bubbles floating around in my belly. It took a while longer before i felt actual kicks

I felt mine at 12 weeks at first I thought and don't laugh that it was just gas bubbles but when they continued on all day for a week I figured it was the baby. By 16-20 you should definitely feel something. Just wait until you feel the first kick it is so exciting. Of course enjoy the little kicks because near the end they can be quite painful. Congrats

I'd say you'll know it is really a baby movement anywhere starting at 18 weeks...although I didn't feel mine till 20 weeks. You may feel little flutters earlier but its really hard to tell if they are really kicks. I'm sure my baby moved a lot but when its early its hard to differentiate movements you feel in your stomach.

It depends on many factors like the baby's position or your body type. With my first, I felt movement at about 16 weeks. With my second, I didn't feel a thing until 21 weeks! As long as there was a good strong heartbeat at your ultrasound, don't worry about your baby.

between 12- 16 weeks. It also depends on your size... A Smaller woman tend to feel their baby's movement quicker than a larger woman. Also a woman, who has had a baby once before tends to feel their baby's movements earlier than a first-time mom. Primarily b/c they know what a baby's kicks feel like.

usually first time mums dont feel anything til around 18-20 weeks, once you are onto your second you may notice them sooner (cause you know what to look out for)
good luckxx
