Any first time moms feeling movement yet?

I'll be 19 weeks on Wednesday and haven't felt anything yet. I'm getting impatient. When can i expect to feel something.

I am 19 weeks 6 days and i have been feeling movement since 12 weeks pregnant.  This is my 4th baby, so I know what I am looking/feeling for.  At first it was just the "bubbly" feeling but wasn't constant or consistent, but then it started to get stronger and stronger.  At 19 weeks 4 days, my baby kicked my hands for the first time and it has not stopped.  Yay to all of you that I have felt your babies move already and to those who haven't, be patient!  It'll happen soon enough!

Yes it is especially for a first time mom, this is my third and I can't feel her all the time. Give it a few weeks and the baby will be keeping you up all night.

I made the mistake of eating a Cinnabon for breakfast one morning, the baby didn't stop moving till 3 in the afternoon I swear!     have you tried a some juice or something to give the baby a little sugar and see if you can feel it more then?

I felt movement for the first time a couple of days ago at 17 weeks 3 days.  I was sitting in the car and felt about 4 distinct nudges...not so much flutters. The best way I can think to describe it is as a bit like feeling your heart beating in your chest, only just a few very irregular times in your uterus. :) Since then I've been feeling a few kicks especially when im sitting down in the afternoons and after I eat.  DH hasn't been able to feel them yet though.

I didn't feel any movement until last sunday, I was about 19 weeks and 5 days, but I haven't felt anything since. It just depends on the baby and if he/she wants to be noticed yet :)

I feel a nudge every now and then but it could just be gas. Definately have not felt this fluttering everyone speaks of. My sil is also 19 weeks and hasn't felt anything either.

I'm 20 weeks today and still not sure if I'm feeling him move or not. Occasionally I feel a bubbly like sensation in my uterus, but that's it. I don't worry because I have a fetal dopplar so i hear his heart beat everyday, but I'm ready to feel the little guy move.

Aww.  Yeah, I felt movement for the first time at 14w/6d!  I had an ultrasound on Friday and the technician said she hasn't seen such an active baby ever!  I believe it.  I can see my stomach moving.  So weird.  You'll feel her soon, I'm sure.  My kid is really low too...I have to lift my belly to see the movement.  ha ha
