    Definitely possible. This is my first pregnancy, and I felt my boy move for the first time at 16 weeks. Every woman I talked to used a different word to describe the feeling. For me, it felt like a twitch or muscle spasm in my lower abdomen. I'm at 38 weeks now, and feeling my baby move has brought the greatest joy throughout this pregnancy. Enjoy! :)

    Hey I'm in TN too. Crazy weather we're having... anyway. I think I felt my baby move around that time, but I thought it wasn't him, just muscle twitches. By 18 weeks tho, it had gotten pretty obvious. I would say there is a good chance it was the baby. Congrats :D

    You may have... you may be in-tune with your body enough to feel the baby... but usually it's not until around week 20 that you know "for sure" that you feel the baby move.

    I believe that women who have already had a child can feel the baby sooner because they know what to expect. the first time, it's a little trickier.

    Yeah, feeling the sudden kick or punch (probably won't be steady like it will later) is normal. The baby is moving all over and kicked ya! Good Luck! lol, and wait until later when the baby is bigger and beats you up! Oh, and gets a fist or foot caught in your rib...now that hurts!

    Awesome feeling isn't it? Kind of like soda bubbles on the inside of a glass! 15 weeks is just about the right time to feel your baby moving.

    Congratulations!

    nicely i felt my toddler shifting at about 4 months. i understand through 26 weeks you should have a minimum of 15 movements an afternoon. Any a lot less and also you may call the record. What i 1st felt replaced into like flutters kinda like a butterfly in my abdomen, I also felt the bubbles kinda like gas shifting through your intestines yet diverse. wish this facilitates and dont worry you'll experience it quickly!

    It's not too early. It probably felt like someone brushed their fingertips aginst your cheek, or like a puff of air as my wife was described it.
