I started feeling my baby kick around 21-22wks (I'm also on the heavier side). It starts out kinda like butterflies, but in your lower abdomen. Gradually, they will become KICKS. My daughter liked to stick a foot into my rib and just leave it there for awhile, lol.

I was around 20 weeks when I felt my first child move. I'm now nearly 17 weeks pregnant with my second baby & I've felt the first little kicks over the past week. You usually recognise movements sooner with subsequent babies because you know what to expect.

Im 20w1d now, and just started feeling movement that im sure is from the baby. before (around 16 weeks until now) i thought i felt her, but wasn't certain (also, i was so intent on feeling something that i may have been imagining it...). it differs from woman to woman and from what i understand, depends on your size. i have a petite frame and am 5'5", if that helps at all.
i love babies la la la

I honestly started feeling flutters I KNEW were the baby at like 13 weeks but you probably won't notice them unless you're constantly concentrating and trying to debunk any other feeling of "movement." I felt my first kicks at exactly 16 weeks which felt like bubbles popping. My hubby felt him move at 20 weeks, and his movements have pretty constant since then! (23 weeks now)

I just started feeling flutters this last week. No kicking yet, but little flutters, but usually when I'm laying down and concentrating on it, otherwise i'd never notice it.
