I'm 20 years old and 16 weeks pregnant with my first child(due november 4th). I was curious as to when I might feel the baby for the first time and what it should feel like?  I've read it feels like popcorn popping but that made no sense at all to me lol :-)

I rarely feel this baby move, I'm 25 and 17 weeks. I will sometimes feel something like a quick jab....idk its really hard to explain. I agree, you kinda just know. I've probably felt movement that I thought was gas :) I had my first baby at 18 and I am pretty sure I felt movement around 16 weeks, but I was really really skinny, I was around 100 lbs, this time I was around 110 when I got pregnant so maybe I have some more padding that prevents me from feeling it early.

I think I felt mine tonight, I'm 20 years old and 17 weeks. It felt like a gas bubble but it wasn't one...it could have been described as a popcorn popping, if I knew what that felt like lol
