Have you felt your baby move?

I'm 13 weeks and was just curious as to when you felt your baby move?  I can't remember with my first child.

i started to feel a hard ball pop out of my pelvic area about 14 weeks. By 16 weeks when i would lay down and roll over I could feel it shift...  17 weeks it felt like i had butterflies and worms in my belly. 18 weeks i could feel faint kicks. 19 weeks i can feel it on the regular. I get kicked in the morning and at night.... seems like she sleeps in the day and is up in the night.

This is my 2nd pg. With my 1st, the placenta was anterior so I didn't feel anything until I was 22+ weeks. This time around. I started feeling movement before week 16. It's such an amazing feeling. To me it doesn't feel like flutters. Every once in a while I feel like one of the babies has pressed him/herself down and turned. Baby B is always doing flips during u/s so I imagine that I just feel one of those flips.

I've finally started to feel the baby!! -  (started a few days before 18 weeks) it's funny though - it's not nearly as dramatic as I imagined it would be!!  just tiny little fluttery feelings - I love it and wish it happened more often - yesterday I didn't feel anything and was a bit worried - today it's back again though! - reckon the baby had just switched positions or something - can't wait for the feelings to get stronger!

I started feeling the flutters between 12-13 weeks, I knew it was because when I used the Doppler at home I would feel the movement the same time I would hear fit throughout btw Doppler. And at my nt scan at 12w3d same thing I would feel the movement when I saw baby kicking and punching. Now I feel it all the time... But my placenta is posterior sonit makes it easier, there is nohing to block it!

I'm 16 weeks and 2 days today - i can't wait to feel the baby move!!  I've heard any time after 18 weeks is pretty normal so i'm counting down the days!!  The thing that has changed is I can now feel the weight of my uterus when I move about - I can tell there's something in there now!  Also my tummy is really starting to stick out now!!  I love it!

I didn't feel my son move until 25 weeks, but I had an anterior  placenta, so it was in the way of feeling movement.  I have read that with 2nd babies, moms feel the flutters earlier because they know what they are.  I have felt like I feel flutters, but I'm not sure if it's too early.  I am 13 weeks also.  I think it's around 18-20 weeks when women can start feeling movement.
