When did you first feel the baby move inside you?

According to most books: 18 - 20 weeks

Personal experiences in my Nursing class: (Poll of two campuses with a total of 109 students)

Before 16 weeks: 9%

At 16 weeks - 18 weeks: 72%

19-20 weeks - 19%

My personal answer: 16 weeks ( I was 16 weeks and 2 days)

Hello! If i remember right I was about 4or 5 months pregnant when i first felt the baby move. It is a very weird and amazing feeling. When i felt the baby move the first time I cried not because it hurt; cause it didn't, but that's when it became real to me that i had a little person in me growing. When you get your sonogram done and see your baby for the first time you might cry to, I did, but then again i was really emotional. Congrats on your pregnancy and good luck.

I first felt movement at around 16 or 17 weeks - some feel it earlier, some later, but according to my doctor, you should feel movement by week 20. At first it feels very faint, but eventually you will feel definate kicks/moving in your belly. Congratulations!

I felt movement with all 3 of my babies at 17 weeks. The best way I can discribe it is it feels kinda like gas bubbles popping.

I felt the baby at 19 weeks and then realized that I had actually felt that a week before but didnt recognize it as being the baby.

about 4 or 5 months

I am 20 weeks and I am just now noticing it almost everyday. The first time I know I felt the baby was on Christmas, I think my loud family got him angry and he started kicking me...lol

My first child about 5 months. 4 months for 2nd. That's because you recognize it sooner. It's just an odd faint flutter feeling. It's so beautiful when you realize what it is!
