I'm sitting here at work feeling little baby kicks already. I haven't even hit 20 weeks or found out the gender so I'm pretty surprised to be feeling it so soon. I don't think I felt my 1st baby kick until I was around 24-25 weeks...
When did you feel your baby's first kicks and was it your first/second/third baby? Did everything feel so much faster with your subsequent pregnancies?

That's awesome! I started to feel movement around 16 or 17 weeks...Just little flutters that it took me a few times to decipher as the baby....By 22 weeks, she was shaking my belly and I could watch her kick all the time!!!

I'm at 26 weeks and she's as active as can be! I think I first felt flutters around 21-22. I've been told that you can feel more your second time around because you know what you are feeling.

First baby and started feeling kicks around 16/17 weeks, like @jholler25
Now, at almost 32 weeks, she is rocking and rolling like crazy in there!!

I felt flutters around 16 weeks and then felt definite kicks around 18 weeks. Although it wasn't until probably between 22-24 weeks that there was a set pattern where I felt movement consistently every day.

So exciting! I've also heard that when it's not your first you feel them/can distinguish them a lot sooner
First baby here and felt little pops at flutters at 17 weeks. I felt real kicks at 20 weeks. I also have an anterior placenta though.

This is my first baby and I felt the first kick at 16 weeks., and then they just very gradually picked up from there.

flutters around 17 weeks and full on kicks by the middle of 18 weeks. My husband felt the kicks from the outside before we went for our a/s at 19 weeks! - this is my first pregnancy!

@mrsjyw: Baby HW pitched a tent this morning, I swear. I woke up to a triangle shaped belly.

I don't know if I've felt kicks yet? I felt like a "pop" yesterday, but wasn't sure if that was some kind of heartburn/gas. It was similar to the 3 "pops" I felt at week 14, but didn't feel it again till yesterday.
