I'm 17 weeks 2 days and I've felt the fluttering off and on for weeks but am anxiously waiting for a 'real' kick.
When did everyone else start to get their real kicks??

Is this your first?
I'm almost 16 weeks now with my first, and am concentrating so hard to see if I feel anything...but not. Not yet, at least I don't think so.

I think that it was around 19 weeks before I felt flutters. But last week I started feeling kicks more regularly, which was 22 weeks. My placenta is right in front, so as the doctor puts it she is kicking the pillow first.

I felt flutters at 16 weeks and real kicks at 19 or 20 weeks. My doctor said that is early for a first though. The earliest ones I felt were when I was in a weird position, like bending forward at the waist.

I felt flutters at 17 weeks and real kicks a week later. DH could even feel them then.

I'm 21 weeks and still haven't felt a solid kick. Still little pops and wiggles. It may be because I'm expecting a kick to feel more solid. But it comes in flurries. About a week ago, my doctor said to give it a month and it should be real solid, in addition to noticeable from the outside. The placenta's towards my spine

I felt the flutters around 17 weeks, but I didn't feel real kicks until around 22 weeks. And I also have an anterior placenta, so the kicks aren't as strong as I think other people feel them. Every so often, baby will kick me to the side of the placenta, and those are really strong!

@blackbird: I'm the same way.
I feel more movement than strong kicks. But, maybe I'm expecting it to feel differently?

20-21 weeks! I didn't feel flutters at all, maybe because of an anterior placenta and graduated straight to kicks. Which felt like bad gas bubbles.

Around 20 weeks, I think? I felt flutters around 16 weeks, but was unsure, then flutters I was sure of around 19 weeks.

I felt the first real kicks around 18-19 weeks. It felt like someone tapping my belly from the inside.

I felt flutters at 16 weeks, but I don't remember when I felt actual kicks instead! There was just various movements from 16 weeks on.

@lulibee: This is my 3rd actually!
Thanks all! I've done this before but for some reason I was expecting to feel the better ones by now. I think I'm just impatient lol
I've been feeling flutters since 11 weeks. So, I suppose I just expected the better ones to be noticeable for me by now.
