When did you first feel your baby move?

I am 23 weeks with my first child and have not felt any baby movement.

How many weeks were you when you feel your babies first movements?

I was almost 21 weeks with my first kick, then the last few days after getting 20-30 kicks a day I get almost nothing other than in the evening.

Give it a week, and as long as the baby is growing fine and kicking on the U/S all is well.

If your a little larger than most then it can take longer to feel the baby too.(also if your placenta is facing the (front?) I think)

I WAS ABOUT 19 WEEKS WHEN I FELT MORE THAN MILD FLUTTERS. EVERY WOMAN IS DIFFERENT, BUT I IMAGINE YOU SHOULD BE FEELING SOMETHING BY NOW. CALL YOUR DOCTOR AND ASK HIM/HER TO DO A CHECK UP ON YOU JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY. NOT TO WORRY YOU, JUST TO BE SAFE.

You should be feeling yours now.
They say that alot of women, specially with their first baby, mistake fetal movement with gas, and mistake gas with fetal movement.

I know I didn't feel my first REAL NOTICABLE kick till I was about 17 weeks, and I'm 20w4d now and I feel her moving all the time.
